2.4 UPS Cable [External Version]
Use this cable to connect Call-UPS II to an APC Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS,
Symmetra Power Array or other
APC smart device (Share-UPS or Triple
Chassis, for example).
2.5 Power Port [External Version]
The external version of Call-UPS II has a power port for an optional
power adapter. This adapter is not needed in most situations. Callnormally receives power from the UPS through the UPS connection cable,
giving Call-
UPS II protection from poor power conditions. After UPS
shutdown for low-battery condition, Call-UPS II will still draw power
from the
ity of the
UPS for a time determined by the size of the load and the capac-
UPS. However, Call-UPS II stops drawing power from the UPS
before the battery is completely drained.
To determine whether a power connector will be useful, refer to the two
paragraphs that follow. You can obtain a power adapter by contacting
APC technical support at one of the numbers given on the back cover of
this manual. The
APC part number for the power adapter is AP9505.

4.7 Paging Setup
When used in conjunction with a modem that understands industry standard
AT commands, Call-UPS II can be set up to page an operator in case
of trouble, such as on-battery operation or problems with the UPS. To use
paging, choose item 6 on the Main menu menu to bring up the Paging
Setup menu. Select items from the Paging Setup menu, referring to the
screen listing and table later in this section.
Call-
UPS II reports the condition by showing a code on the pager’s dis-
play. Call-

grammed by the user (see below). When a reportable condition occurs,

UPS II uses the modem to page an operator. Call-UPS II issues a mo-
The initial AT comes from Call-U PS II. Do not include it in the Dial
String. In this example, the Dial String is DT9,5551212@. DT instructs
the modem to dial in tone mode. The 9 and comma are only needed when
Call-
UPS II is used with a phone system that requires dialing 9 for an out-
side line. The comma adds a pause. The @ symbol at the end of the pager
phone number sets the modem to “wait for quiet answer” (five seconds
of silence) before entering the number to send to the pager. The
12345678
in the example comes from item number 8, Site ID, on the Call-UPS II
Paging Setup menu. Call-UPS II then issues the Space Character and
Trouble Code shown near the end of the example. For this example, the
pager would show:
12345678 1
Call-UPS II also issues the semicolon at the end of the modem command.
This sends the modem back into command state.

Dial string for a second pager number.
Number of times, from 0–4, that the page for the first
pager number is repeated. Call-UPS II cycles through
Repeat 1, Repeat 2, and Page Interval for each reportable event. Events are buffered and p rioritized during
paging to keep the operator updated with the best
information.

appends a final semicolon (;) after the End String in
order to hang up the modem and return it to command mode.
II
The remaining fields in the Paging Setup menu define the events that
trigger a page, the pager(s) that will be paged when the event occurs, and
the code that will be displayed on the pager. Each event type can be set so
that either, both, or neither of the pagers will be paged for that event. The
defaults are “Y” (
ON) for the first pager, and “N” (OFF) for the second.
Event codes from 0 to 15 can be assigned to each type. The following
table describes triggering events and the default setting for each. A default of
“
Y N 5,” for example, means that the associated event in the first column
34
will page the first pager but not the second, and that the first pager will
show a “5” after the Site
ID when it receives the page.
Note: The default code numbers defined by the Paging Setup menu
varies widely according to the type of
UPS. Measure-UPS,
zone, and probe alarms apply only if those devices are
present, even though they appear on the menu.

Symmetra Power Array
For installation of multiple SmartSlot devices in the Symmetra Power
Array, refer to the numbering in the figure that follows. Note that the
PowerNet
SNMP Adapter is installed in slot #4, Call-UPS II in #3, no
device in #2, and Measure-UPS in #1.
If you are using an external SmartSlot housing (Expansion Chassis or
Triple Chassis) in conjunction with a Symmetra Power Array, install the
devices with higher priority in the external slot(s). Refer to the earlier
Triple Chassis section, if applicable.
If you have increased your SmartSlot capacity by daisy-chaining
Expansion Chassis or Triple Chassis, install the PowerNet
SNMP
Adapter and Call-UPS II in the highest-numbered and second-highest-
numbered slots, respectively, of the chassis installed farthest from the
UPS.
Smart-UPS and Matrix-UPS
If your APC UPS has only one SmartSlot, install the low-priority devices
in the
UPS SmartSlot and use an external SmartSlot housing (Expansion
Chassis or Triple Chassis) for the device(s) with higher priority. Refer to
the earlier Triple Chassis section, if applicable.

in any way. This warranty applies only to the original purchaser who must have properly
registered the product within 10 days of purchase.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, AMERICAN POWER CONVERSION MAKES
NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANT ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states
do not permit limitation or exclusion of implied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid
limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to the purchaser.

DIRECT, INDIRECT , SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE

Life support policy
As a general policy, American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use
of any of its products in life support applications where failure or malfunction of the
APC product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to
significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. APC does not recommend the use of any
of its products in direct patient care. APC will not knowingly sell its products for use
in such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a)
the risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such
risks, and (c) the liability of American Power Conversion is adequately protected under
the circumstances.
Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen analyzers,
nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes),
autotransfusion devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms,
pacemakers, hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator
incubators, ventilators for both adults and infants, anesthesia ventilators, and infusion
pumps as well as any other devices designated as “critical” by the U.S. FDA.
Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options on many
APC UPS systems. APC does not claim that units with this modification are certified or
listed as Hospital Grade by APC or any other organization. Therefore these units do not
meet the requirements for use in direct patient care.
