The System Status Summary screen is the default PowerChute Business Edition screen. This screen summarizes the current device status and the environmental status, as well as showing the contact information. The device status indicates the present operating status of the UPS and displays one of the following states:
The Environmental Status information is displayed if an Environmental Monitoring device is being used. The device can be configured to monitor and report ambient temperature, relative humidity, and the state of external contact closures of safety and security devices. You can use an Environmental Monitoring device with a Smart-UPS (except models 420 and 620) or Matrix-UPS. Environmental Status information reports the following:
The Contact Information shows the contact name and system location. These parameters were configured by the user either during the installation process or by accessing System Settings on the Protected System menu.

The UPS Configuration screen allows you to configure line settings and general settings for your UPS. Line Settings allows you to configure the following:
If the supported equipment can tolerate a wide voltage range for On Line operation, you can safely increase the Upper Bypass Limit value and decrease the Lower Bypass Limit value. A wider voltage range reduces the number of times the UPS switches to battery operation, especially in areas where the input voltage is unstable or is chronically high or low. If you change the Output Voltage setting, the Upper and Lower Bypass Limit values change also. Please check these values again after you set output voltage. Note: You cannot change the bypass limits for a Matrix-UPS because the UPS uses an Automatic Voltage Regulator. General Settings allow you to configure the following:

The Diagnostic Settings screen allows you to view the last diagnostic results, and schedule and initiate diagnostics. The diagnostics that PowerChute Business Edition can perform are a self-test, a runtime calibration and a test of the UPS alarm. A self-test performs internal UPS diagnostics. A runtime calibration causes the UPS to recalculate its available runtime capacity based on its current load. Caution - Runtime calibrations deeply discharge UPS batteries, which can leave a UPS temporarily unable to support its equipment if a power failure occurs. Frequent calibrations reduce the life of batteries. Therefore, select runtime calibrations to occur only annually or semiannually. Also perform a calibration whenever you significantly increase the load that the UPS is supporting.A UPS alarm test sounds the UPS system's audible alarm, and flashes its lights (if it is a model that has lights). Last Diagnostic Results reports the following:
For a Smart-UPS On-Line, a Bypass Status field reports on the current bypass status of the UPS. Scheduled Diagnostics allows you to schedule when the UPS will run a self-test. You can choose to run a self-test at UPS start up, every 7 days, every 14 days, or never. Initiate Diagnostics allows you to select a diagnostic action. You can choose to run a self-test, a runtime calibration, test the UPS alarm, or put a Smart-UPS On-Line into or out of its bypass mode for maintainance, or run no diagnostics at all. |
