When a power failure occurs, the Power Monitor broadcasts a message to all logged-on users indicating that the
server or workstation is running on battery power. If power is restored, the
shutdown timer is reset and a message is broadcast indicating that utility power
has been restored. If power is not restored, Power Monitor will perform an
automatic, unattended, graceful shutdown of the operating system.
Provides graceful shutdown
Upon expiration of the timer or low battery
level of the UPS, the software will perform an orderly unattended shutdown
of the server.
Runs as a background
task
No user interaction required for monitoring.
Low battery signal
override
Power Monitor will override shutdown timer if
low battery is detected. (May vary by hardware and OS)
On-screen power history graph
Shows number of power outages, longest and shortest AC
power outages, average length of outages, number of shutdowns because of
timer expiration, and low battery or manual shutdown.
Dial out on a
modem
Notifies users of AC power failure, UPS low
battery condition and arrival of shutdown time.
On-screen countdown timer
Shows time remaining before shutdown
Network broadcast
messages
Informs users that are logged on to the
server that power has failed and notifies them to save applications.
Records all power
events
All AC power failures, power restored, low battery and
system shutting down messages are sent to a special system log file.
User modifiable warning messages
Software allows for configuration of custom
broadcast commands.
User defined up time
Allows battery time to be set before shutdown occurs
Software loads
automatically
Each time the server is booted,
Power Monitor will automatically load and begin monitoring the UPS status.
Simple
installation
All installation and configuration screens are designed to
be user friendly, ensuring fast setup and easy maintenance.

Power Monitor is a contact closure
monitoring application which is not limited to the UPS industry. This
application has also been used in a number of other industries including:
security systems, environmental protection and TVSS units. Contact ETI and
inquire about how we can meet your contact closure monitoring needs.
Y2K Today and Yesterday
Yes, all of ETI's hardware and software products meet the Year 2000 requirements.
All of the UPSs, PDUs, Frequency Converters, Drive Expansion Units, DC Systems
and all other electronic products produced by Energy Technologies have been meeting those requirements for over
8 years. All versions of the software products shipped since mid 1998 have been
tested and confirmed to be Y2K compliant. If you have an earlier version, send
an email with the software version number and your operating system information
and version to
support@ruggedsystems.com. We
