System Parameters

The "SYSTEM PARAMETERS" screen provides UPS efficiency and

battery temperature information. The main menu prompts you to select the
option, or to press the > arrow to advance through the various parameter
screens; or < to step back through the screens. Press ENTER when the
correct screen appears.

Efficiency

Efficiency is calculated as the ratio of Output Watts / Input Watts x 100

and can be viewed directly from the display. CFR units typically operate at an
efficiency rate of about 95% which will vary slightly with load conditions.

Battery Temperature

Displayed in degrees C, Ambient Temperature is measured inside the

UPS in the vicinity of the battery compartment.

Set Maintenance Security Code

The Maintenance Security Code is a second level of security and is

used to gain access to the maintenance programs. The code can be changed
using the number keys on the keypad. CAUTION: If the code is changed
and no record is kept, especially if the code becomes forgotten or lost, you
will not be able to re-enter the program. The factory default setting is 1111.

Set RS-232 Port

This menu selection will allow you to set the Baud Rate and Parity of the

RS-232 port.

Set RS-232 Baud Rate

Select the proper baud rate for your communications device. The baud

rates you can select for RS-232 are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600.

Set RS-232 Parity

Select the proper parity for your communications device. The available

choices are 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit); 7E1 (7 data bits, even
parity, and 1 stop bit); and 7O1 (7 data bits, odd parity, and 1 stop bit).

Set Modem Port

Set Modem Port allows you to setup communications via an optional

modem. You will be guided through a series of screens prompting you for the
following information: set baud rate, set parity, auto dial configure, set
telephone number, and set alarm triggers. Note: These selections are only
available when a modem module is installed.

Set Modem Baud Rate

Select the proper baud rate for your modem. The baud rates you can

select are: 300 and 1200.

Set Modem Parity

Select the proper parity for your modem. The available choices are 8N1

(8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit); 7E1 (7 data bits, even parity, and 1 stop bit);
and 7O1 (7 data bits, odd parity, and 1 stop bit). Note: If you are using an
alphanumeric pager, parity should be set to 7E1.

Auto Dial Configure

This feature allows you to setup a "call out" phone number to another

modem. In this display, you have the option to dial out to a modem or digital
pager (modem), an alphanumeric pager (pager), or to disable the autodial
