RE: UPS and Power Outages

Actually that timer does not cause a controlled normal shutdown. It Simply 
keeps the 400 up for that long hoping 1. the power comes back 2. you have 
noticed and are controlling the system.

You should be able to find in the history log (dsplog) the msgs stating loss of 
utility power. I don't have the msg ID handy...

Subject: UPS and Power Outages


Unfortunately, I was not involved in esatblishing the UPS connection to my
clients 400. I know the system value QUPSDLYTIM is set to 200 (seconds). It
APPEARS that a power failure occurred during a storm yesterday morning and
that the 400 went down ABNORMALLY. But if a UPS device is attached to the
400, and the system value above is specified, shouldn't the system have gone
down in a soft, controlled manner?

Is there anyway to determine if the UPS actually kicked in? I see no
messages in the operator queue (designated UPSMSGQ) that mention UPS.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Rick Rayburn
