Calibrating the CFR

The CFR UPS may be calibrated using two sets of parameters - Maintenance

Parameters (commands “70” to “79”) and Service Parameters (commands “80” to
“89”). Maintenance parameters allow you to customize the CFR detection and
warning levels. There should be no need to change these setting unless wider or
narrower detection tolerances are required.

Transmitting Unsolicited Alarms

The UPS can automatically transmit alarm messages (in ASCII format) to

notify a status change or a power problem as it occurs. You can enable or disable
this option by using commands “510” and “509” respectively.
