<div dir="ltr"><div><em>Q: Quick question: does "battery.runtime" update when the device is on battery, or is this field always zero?</em></div><div><em>A: Yes, the UPS battery time starts counting when the device starts on battery.<br></em></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Q:
"battery.runtime.low" should be the number of seconds remaining before
switching to "LB" status. This seems large, even for a 6000 VA UPS. Is
this configurable?<br></div><div>A: I can explain to you this large
number. This number is large because UPS isn't on battery mode, then the
UPS superestimate the number because it's the maximum value possible.
When the UPS switch to battery mode, this value will be consistent.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Q: 210.5 V seems reasonable for the specifications. Is there a way in the SEC protocol to report "battery.voltage.nominal"?<br></div><div>A:
This UPS have 16 x 12 V serie batteries. The SEC protocol doesn't
specify any nominal voltage for battery, only for inputs, outputs and
bypass.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Q: For the HCL,
should we list this as a serial UPS, or is it USB that is auto-detected
by the Linux kernel as a USB-to-serial converter?<br></div><div>A: Our
UPS have one serial RS-232 (DB-9) connector and a USB connector. For
serial, this device use /dev/ttySx (Linux) or COMx (Windows) device name
and don't need any driver. For USB , our device use a CDC usb class USB
(it's a serializable USB, liking a USB-to-serial converter), for Linux
kernel >= 2.6 it's auto detected, for Windows you need to Install a
driver equal usb-to-serial converter with these parameters : VID =
0x925 and PID = 0x1241.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Q:
Does "<a href="http://ups.id">ups.id</a>" usually report a unique ID, or did you remove it? (No
worries if you did; we will just mark it as such in the DDL).<br></div><div>A: I removed it.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Q: Just to confirm, the shutdown occurred via upsmon recognizing "OB LB" status on the UPS?<br></div><div>A: Yes, the shutdown occours when ups.status it's equal OB LB<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Below
, it's a second upsc command using our UPS on battery and with device
ID, battery time, battery low time that UPS calcs correctly. Let me
remember now, We have the same UPS in 6, 8, 10 and 12 kVA version, and
