This man page only documents the hardware-specific features |
| |
|
19 |
of the fentonups driver. For information about the core |
| |
|

driver, see nutupsdrv(8). |

fentonups primarily supports Fenton Technologies models such |
| 2 |
perry |
25 |
as the !PowerPal, !PowerPure and !PowerOn lines. Due to the |
| 1 |
perry |
26 |
common heritage of UPS equipment, it also supports other |
| |
|
27 |
hardware that also uses the Megatec protocol. |

At the time of this writing, the !PowerGuard PG-600 and |
| |
|
31 |
!PowerCom SMK-800A are recognized and supported. Other |
| 1 |
perry |
32 |
Megatec units should also work, but they will generate a |
| |
|
33 |
warning since their battery information is not |
| |
|
34 |
known. |

The battery percentage is derived from the voltage data that |
| |
|
44 |
the UPS returns, since the UPS doesn't return that value |
| |
|
45 |
directly. On some hardware, the charge will remain at 100% |
| |
|
46 |
for a long time and then drops quickly shortly before the |
| |
|
47 |
battery runs out. You can confirm from the BATTVOLT readings |
| |
|
48 |
that this is a problem with the UPS and not this |
| |
|
49 |
driver. |
| |
|
50 |
|
| |
|
51 |
|
| |
|
52 |
Similarly, the float from the charger in some models forces |
| |
|
53 |
the battery charge percentage back up to 100% immedately |
| |
|
54 |
after the UPS goes back on-line, so you can't tell when it |
| |
|
55 |
is really recharged. |
