DC Expert. Monitoring battery life is one of the most challenging aspects of UPS ownership. DC Expert is a built-in battery monitoring system that helps administrators and managers meet the challenges they face. The system provides accurate information on run time and battery health, allowing organizations to avoid load losses due to unexpected battery failure. While competitive battery monitoring systems usually estimate run time with an +/- 20 percent fluctuation in accuracy, DC Expert run time information is accurate within +/- 3 percent. Battery run time is displayed on a large LCD panel located on the front of the system.

Outcall™ Paging /Remote Notify. The Remote Notify system enhances proactive power management, enabling the Powerware Plus to automatically call for help if power or equipment problems occur. Remote Notify is an entry-level notification system in which the Powerware Plus is connected to a phone line via an internal modem. Remote Notify's outbound and inbound call capabilities save valuable time and money by directly notifying a pager or personal computer. This alerts the appropriate network manager or administrator and, in many cases, a problem can be diagnosed and solved without visiting the site.

The Outcall Paging feature allows the Powerware Plus to call as many as two telephone numbers during an emergency. The number of outcalls per event is programmable and the delay time between outcalls is also programmable.

Software. The strong integration of software with Exide Electronics UPS hardware provides additional power protection services for end users. PowerVision management software is designed to monitor Exide Electronics UPS products, providing the most sophisticated alarm management and notification tools available. FORESEER^™'s unique interface capability and performance analysis tools identify dangerous trends, execute corrective action and prevent failures. All Powerware Plus models above 18kVA have these management software capabilities.
