Introduction to Power System
A Power System is the system that manages and controls the Battery Backup.
The Power System supplies the power you need and other equipment need. If
you connect the Battery Backup with a computer by serial or USB cable, that
computer should be installed Power Panel Business Edition Agent to manage
the Battery Backup. We call that a computer installed Agent with the Battery
Backup is a Power System. If you connect the Battery Backup with a Power
Management Unit (abbreviate to PMU, ex: SNMP card), the PMU with the
Battery Backup is called a Power System.
View Power System information
The Power System Information page shows a summary of information
about the Battery Backup connected to the Power System as follows:
• Battery Replacement Date: The date that the batteries were last replaced.
The normal lifetime of the batteries is 3 years.
• UPS Model: The model name of the Battery Backup.
• Battery Backup Type: The type of the Battery Backup. It may be “On Line”
or “Line Interactive”.
• *Serial Number: The serial number of the Battery Backup.
• Hardware Version: The hardware version of the Battery Backup.
• *Standalone Outlets Numbers: The number of standalone outlets.
• Power: The maximum power supplied by the Battery Backup (Watts).
• *Maximum Rating Current: The maximum output current of the Battery
Backup (Amps).
• Voltage: The output voltage of the Battery Backup (Volts).
• *Frequency: The output frequency of the Battery B acku p (Hz).

PowerPanel® Business Edition
The Power System Location page lets you configure the power system address
and view the connection state of Power System.
According to your Power System type, you may need to type Agent's address
or PMU's address in the Address field. When the address is configured, you will
see the connection state of Power System. Power System is the system
connected to the Battery Backup directly. The Power System Information
page is available only when the connection state is connected. Remember to
setup the same phase key in Security section as described on Protected
System Identification Help Page. If the phase key is different from Power
System and Slave, Slave will not have ability to communicate with Power
System.
POWER SYSTEM LOCATION
• Address: Displays the power system address. You can click Setup button to
configure the power system address. Normally, power system address is the
Agent or PMU address. You can link to Agent or PMU directly by click the
hyper link showed here. If the status is unreachable, it could be fail to open
due to wrong address.
• Status: Displays the status about the communication with Power System.
You can click Reconnect button to verify the current status abou t the
communication with Power System.
o connected: Slave is connected with Power System. Slave can obtain
information about Battery Backup fr o m Power System.
o unreachable: Slave can't connect with Power System. It may due to
the wrong phase key, the wrong address, or the network connection
problem.
Note: After you configured the address, you need to wait for
negotiation for 5~20 seconds (depends on response time).

Configure the Battery Backup
The Battery Backup Configuration page allows you to configure Input, Output,
Battery, and System for the Battery Backup.
Input
• *Conditions to use battery power: Sets the thresholds to use battery
power according to utility power voltage and utility power frequency. If the
threshold settings below are met, the Battery Backup will use battery power.
Note: This setting comes into effect after restarting Battery Backup.
o Utility voltage is below a voltage or above another voltage:
Sets the low voltage and high voltage threshold. Beyo nd the
thresholds the Battery Backup will supply battery power.
o Utility frequency is below a frequency or above another
frequency: Sets the low frequency and high frequency threshold.
Beyond the thresholds the Battery Backup will supply battery power.
• *Condition to bypass: Sets the threshold to enter bypass mode according
to utility power voltage.
o Utility voltage is below a voltage or above another voltage:
Sets the low voltage and high voltage threshold. Beyo nd the
thresholds the Battery Backup will switch to bypass mode.
Output
• *The Battery Backup supplies a voltage: Sets the output power voltage
supplied to the connected equipment. For some models, like the Paragon
Tower Battery Backup and the Professional Rack Mount Battery Backup, this
setting comes into effect after restarting the Battery Backup. For Paragon
Tower Battery Backup model, it is configurable only if the Battery Backup is
in bypass mode.
• *The Battery Backup supplies power of a voltage during battery
mode: Sets the output power voltage supplied to the connected equipment
during battery mode.
• *Outlet number: Sets the standalone outlet's turn on/off parameters.
o Turn off if battery capacity is below a percentage: Sets the low
limit of battery capacity to turn off this outlet.
