Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP)

Enhance the capabilities of your ConnectUPS or PowerVision Data Acquisition Terminal (DAT) with the

Environmental Monitoring Probe. Use the EMP to monitor ambient temperature, humidity, and two contact

closure devices. Whether

you need to ensure an optimal operating environment for your servers or you want

to monitor the status of a smoke detector, motion detector, or to know when someone is opening or closing a

door, the EMP has it covered.

ConnectUPS Web/SNMP Product Family

Monitor a UPS on your network or across the Internet with the ConnectUPS Web/SNMP product family.

ConnectUPS communication devices have built-in power management software and a Web-based interface

that enables you to monitor a UPS securely from any Web browser. Use the Web to configure remote manage

ment functions such as UPS output control, scheduled shutdowns, and emergency shutdowns in the event of

power failures. In addition to the Web interface, ConnectUPS devices allow you to monitor and control UPSs

using any Powerware software including PowerVision, LanSafe, NetWatch, and MultiView software. The X-Slot

card can also be used as a four-port network hub for use in applications from small offices to server farms.

Modbus

Card

Integrate your UPS into a Building Management System or Industrial Automation System using the

Powerware Modbus Card. This card communicates accurate, real-time data using the industry standard

Modbus RTU protocol.

Multi-Server Card

Turn your single UPS into multiple, independently controlled, virtual UPSs with the Powerware Multi-Server

Card. This card offers maximum control of your power environment and protects systems from the harmful

effects of power irregularities without the need for purchasing additional UPSs. With independent control

of serial ports providing load shedding capability for maximum runtime of critical loads, you can configure

multiple servers to execute a graceful shutdown at the optimum time desired.

Relay Interface Card

The Relay Interface card is dedicated adapter that provides an essential dry-contact interface between

your Powerware UPS and any relay-connected computer, including the IBM

AS/400

, as well as a variety of

industrial applications. The relay card includes a remote shutdown feature, ensuring that you remain in

control of your power systems. This card is well suited for integrating Powerware UPSs into Private Branch

Exchange (PBX) installations or third-party management systems.

PowerVision Power Management Software

Offering a more comprehensive feature set that our basic LanSafe software, the PowerVision product family

provides simultaneous monitoring of multiple UPS or other equipment such as generators, security sys

tems, and power distribution units (PDUs). With powerful trend analysis and diagnosis tools, more precise

data collection, and robust configuration for integration into network and building management systems,

PowerVision is an enterprise-wide solution. The introduction of PowerVision Network Edition, Facility Edition,

and Enterprise Manager enables you to scale your implementation of PowerVision to suite the needs for your

company whether you have 25 or 25,000 employees.
