SentryPlus Installation
SentryPlus Setup:
1. Place the SentryPlus CD in your CD-ROM drive. The Install Shield will automatically start
and guide you through the setup procedure.
2. Check the communication type of your UPS. If you select the USB option you must have
connected the UPS to this computer. The OS will find the new hardware. Simply follow
the prompts to install the HID driver.

A UPS Monitoring Module (SentryPlus Status), which runs in the background as a
Windows NT Service and communicates to the UPS.
A User Interface Module (SentryPlus Monitor), which enables you to control and
configure SentryPlus through the drop down menus and dialog boxes. It also allows
you to monitor the UPS through the Main Screen.
