NAME

microsol-apc − Driver for APC Back−UPS BR UPS equipment

SYNOPSIS

microsol−apc −h

microsol−apc −a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

Note

This man page only documents the hardware−specific features of the microsol−apc driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

This driver supports the following UPS models:

• APC Back−UPS BZ1500−BR

• APC Back−UPS BZ2200I−BR

• APC Back−UPS BZ2200BI−BR

In 2009, Schneider Electric acquired Microsol Technologies, and by 2012, the entire Microsol line was being sold under the APC brand. This driver supports these newer, APC−branded models. Older equipment should use solis(8).

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

This driver support the following extra optional settings in the ups.conf(5).

battext=n

Default = 0, no extra battery, where n = Ampere*hour.

prgshut=n

Default = 0, no programmable shutdown; 1 to enable one.

COMMANDS

shutdown.return

Shut down in .3 minutes and restart in .3 minutes after that.

shutdown.stayoff

Shut down in .3 minutes and do not return.

ISSUES

For other APC−Microsol models, the reported voltages, currents and power will be incorrect, as the communication protocol reports unprocessed data instead of real values, needing model−specific post−processing by the driver. Monitoring of UPS state (on−battery/on−line, critical battery) should work for other models, but is untested.
