Configuring the Card
Eaton Power Xpert Gateway PXGX UPS Card User’s Guide 164202123—Rev 1 23
Note: An active alarm is different from an open alarm:
l
Active Alarm. An alarm is active when an alarming condition exists in the UPS. Messages display
on the UPS LCD panel and on the card interface banner when alarms go active and disappear when
the alarming condition clears.
l
Open Alarm. When an alarm goes active, it is also considered open and remains open (even after
the condition clears in the UPS hardware) until it is closed by an operator. Operators are required to
close alarms to ensure they are seen. While the UPS LCD panel and the card interface banner
display the alarms that are active in the UPS, other areas of the card interface, (such as the Open
Alarms page, device data pages, and the alarm log), display any alarms that have not been closed by
the operator. Since closing an alarm that is still active in the hardware quickly results in the
generation of a new alarm, an operator has the option to mark an alarm as acknowledged to indicate
it has been seen.
To close or acknowledge an open alarm, see “Open Alarms” on page 37.
l
Menu Bar. The menu bar contains links to additional pages for status information and configuration options.
Menus are expandable and collapsible. The Device Data menu is expanded when you first log on. If an alarm
is active, the Open Alarms menu category turns red and the number of open alarms displays in parentheses,
so that alarms are never hidden even if the menu is collapsed. Use the menu bar to move through the card's
Web pages.
l
Analog Gauges. Analog gauges display on the Overview and Device Data pages next to metered items to
show related critical device information, such as status, power, and energy levels at a glance. Examples of
metered items are:
l
Percent full load
l
Percent battery left
l
Bypass, input, and output frequency
l
Battery time remaining
l
Power output
l
Remote humidity and temperature (if the optional EMP is connected to the card)
The bar is green for the normal operating range (white background) and gradually changes to yellow and
then red as it moves to the caution range (light blue background) to critical (darker blue background).
Pause the pointer over the information icon to display numerical limits.
l
Overview. The Overview displays a functional status diagram of the UPS (or UPSs in a parallel system). The
animated yellow line shows the direction of the energy flow. To the right of the diagram, a list of the most
relevant current readings displays. The List tab page displays a complete list of current readings.
l
Summary Tab. The Summary tab page displays essential data most often used to determine the overall
status of the device. Alarms display in red text. Pause the pointer over items for additional detail or help.
l
List Tab. The List tab page displays an expanded list of configurable and measurable items and alarms. The
categories on the List tab page are expandable and collapsible. Alarms display in red text. Pause the pointer
over items for additional detail or help.
Note: The Output KW Hours displays on the Overview and also on the Device and List tabbed pages.
Because the Output KW Hours is reset to zero when the card is restarted, Eaton recommends that
this feature not be used for billing purposes. If you choose to use this value for billing purposes,
record the Output KW Hours before restarting the card.
l
Atom Web Feed. The card supports Atom Syndication Format (Atom) for Web feeds. The orange Atom icon
is in the status bar. Click the Atom Feed icon to view new content or subscribe to the PXGX UPS Card feed
data. Some browsers also display the Atom Feed icon in the address bar.
l
3rd Party Licensing link. The 3rd Party Licensing link in the status bar directs you to a list of all licenses
used with the PXGX UPS Card. Each listing links to the full license text.
