Outlet Groups on Control menu
Path: Control > Outlet Groups
This option is not available for all UPS devices.
Use this option to turn on, turn off, or restart individual outlet groups as distinct from the UPS device. This
option can apply to individual UPS devices and a Synchronized Control Group (if enabled, see “Synchronized
Control of your UPS devices”).
(This screen lists by name and state each UPS outlet group that has been configured through the
Configuration - Outlet Groups option, see “Outlet Groups on Configuration menu”).
You can select any of the following actions (or no action) for each outlet group. These are one-time actions.
• When the state of the outlet group is off:
– On Immediately
– On with Delay: Turn on the outlet group after the number of seconds configured as Power On
Delay. (see “Shutdown on Configuration menu”).

ups -c Sleep
(
CLI)
ups -c
GraceSleep
(

Puts the UPS into sleep mode by turning off its output power for a defined period of time.
Click Next to see specific details on timing and delays.
• The UPS turns off output power after waiting the time configured as “Shutdown Delay”.
• When input power returns, the UPS turns on output power after two configured periods
of time: “Sleep Time” and “Return Delay”.
•For a Synchronized Control Group (SCG) action, the NMC of the initiating UPS waits
up to the number of seconds configured as “Power Synchronized Delay” for enabled
group members to regain input power before it starts the “Return Delay”. If all group
members already regained input power, the “Power Synchronized Delay” is omitted. If
all group members regain input power during the delay, the rest of the delay is cancelled.
Puts the UPS into sleep mode (turns off power for a defined period of time):
• The UPS turns off output power after waiting the “Maximum Required Delay” to allow
time for PowerChute Network Shutdown to shut down its server with protection, and its
“Shutdown Delay”.
• When input power returns, the UPS turns on output power after two configured periods
of time: its “Sleep Time” and “Return Delay”.
•Re Synchronized Control Group (SCG), see final bullet in the row directly above.

These actions are supported:
• Only for individual UPS devices, NOT for Synchronized Control Groups
