SC420I reports wrong model number and line voltage
Hi everyone,
my SC420I reports wrong model number and line voltage(details bellow).
I tried with apcupsd, nut and serial terminal in Linux and Powerchute Business on Windows 10. Same result everywhere.
I use FTI FT232R serial to usb converver(probed different ones as well) and a geunie APC 940-0024E cable.
Any ideas whats wrong and how could I fix it?
