[Nut-upsuser] Re: Powerware 5119 = Exide NETUPS SE = Deltec name was PowerRite Pro II

[Karl Schmidt]

Found one more bit of information:

Fiskars is a Finnish holding company that used to own Deltec Power Systems. In 
March of 1996 Deltec Power Systems was aquired by Exide Electronics Group. 
Powerware Corporation later replaced the name Exide Electronics in April 1999.

Thus the Foslars owned Deltec had the PowerRite Pro II series. They became Exide 
and the product name changed to NetUPS SE (I suppose the SE is second edition 
AKA II). And then Exide became Powerware and the series name became the 5119.

I think these are all the same unit - the cases are a clone - there is a 
difference in the manufacture name reported, but everything works exactly as 
the User's guide I got from the powerware site. I have it working with the 
upscode2 setup - the only thing missing is that the 2400VA size has three zones 
- I have one of these that seems to have a zone that may be turned off in 
software?? There should be a way to set the delay to off for the zones and I see 
there is a way to set the delay on - I suppose so servers come up in the right 
order?

I tried the lansafe 3 software and it may have had a bug in that set up - but 
that value seems to be stored in the UPS itself as it communicates with the UPS 
as the menu item appears.

There is a way to wire into the serial port trafic and watch the conversation 
with a second computer port - there should also be a way to do the same in 
software??

Is there a published document for the ups code II standard?
