The Intelligent Interface Device
Alpha's Intelligent Interface Device provides precise UPS system
information at the touch of a finger. The front panel keypad and LCD guide
you through the various menu options which include Battery Temperature,
Input Voltage and Current
1 , Line Frequency, Output Voltage and Current,
Input and Output VA 1 , Power in Watts 1 , Power Factor, Battery Voltage and
Charger Current, Charger Status, and more. The History Log maintains an
on-going record of UPS alarms and power anomalies by time, date and type
of occurrence. Whenever a UPS alarm condition occurs, such as Line
Failure, Low Battery Warning, Low Battery Shutdown or Service, it is
displayed by the front panel indicators and recorded in the History Log.
The Intelligent Interface Device is equipped with an RS-232 port,
configured as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) device. This allows
the CFR UPS to communicate via a remote terminal or computer. It can also
be integrated into a LAN as a shared modem device. Baud rates from 300 to
9600 are user-selectable. The optional internal modem and rear panel RJ-11
jacks allow long range remote communications with any computer and its
terminal emulation program. The Intelligent Interface Device can also be
located up to 2,000 feet from the UPS, using the rear panel MMJ connector,
for remote status monitoring applications.
When the CFR, along with its Intelligent Interface Device, is used with
AlphaNet TM Network Power Management software, the network automatically
notifies system users of changes in UPS status as they occur. Since the
software constantly monitors the AC Line and UPS battery conditions, it can
perform orderly fileserver or workstation shutdowns whenever UPS battery
power becomes unacceptably low. AlphaNet
TM supports most popular
operating systems and is ideal for unattended operation. If a critical condition
does occur, the unit can dial up an emergency number, using its optional
internal modem, to notify the system manager of the UPS status.
1 Note: Input Current, Input VA and Input Watts are optional on some units.
