Network Management card AP9619. Using as stand-alone temperature monitor

[Anonymous user]

I had a SURTD5000RMXLI. It burn out, but not Network Management card AP9619.
AP9619 was connected to UPS by ribbon cable and was powered from it.
Is it possible to use AP9619 as stand-alone temperature monitor? It seems to me that all I need is to powering this card. But I don't know pinning of cable to connect power supply.

Can anybody help?

Can anybody confirm or refute that 24V power should be supplied to 3 and 4 pins of ribbon cable?

You can do this, and it works. The only issue is that the SNMP card will report "searching for UPS" in its logs and web interface. I've done it with both the AP961x cards in a single-slot AP9600 chassis and the older AP9606 card with an AP9612TH environment card in a triple-slot expansion chassis. The 9612 has the advantage of supporting a second probe (AP9512TH).

Most of the integrated-environment AP961x cards I've seen only have temperature probes, not temperature and humidity.

In either case you'll need an AP9505 power supply to power the expansion chassis.

Needless to say, none of this is an officially-supported configuration.

Thank you, Terry.

I found that input voltage go to LM2590HV (SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Converter - [http://www.national.com/mpf/LM/LM2590HV.html#Overview] ). May be I'm wrong, pls correct me.
If I'm true, than input voltage of LM2590HV range up to 60V. So I could use 17-20V power supply (from notebook). Or not?

Any help appreciated.

I'm using a 24V wall wart to power my expansion chassis.

The AP9505 provides 24V DC to the expansion chassis. I'm not sure if a bare card (no expansion chassis) will work - there is a circuit board in the expansion chassis which may provide some signals (in addition to power) that the card needs.

may be you are right, but why not try? And why pay twice - I already have ap9619. Only what I need - pinning of ribbon cable, which connect card to ups. If you have, let me know, pls.

I wish you could, but I think the software waits for a UPS before showing temperature monitoring information. If I'm wrong, then you could probably use a [smartslot expansion chassis|http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP9600].
