Smart UPS 2200 INET battery bleeper disable and recalibrate?

[BillP]

Hi

I have purchased a smart ups from eBay, i have also got the com and the smart slot enabling me to interface it via Ethernet. I cannot turn of the battery bleeper and seem to have limited options. I had the SU1000i which has a lot more options than this and easier to operate. I also having problems with battery's seem to go flat. Is there a way i can calibrate battery and turn off the bleeper via Ethernet? if so which program to use i'm using power chute business. i also have compatibility issues with older versions I'm running windows 7 x64

many thanks

Hi,

Are you saying that with the UPS plugged in, and the batteries connected, the batteries do not appear to be charging ? (IE battery bar graph indicators - all five - are not illuminated even after 24 hours of charging ?

And...by "bleeper" do you mean the UPS front panel "replace battery" LED or the "fault" LED is lighted up and the UPS is beeping every few seconds ?

No what I am saying is the battery's charge as normal. When load is connected say 300w it will run once the ac is unplugged, after about 1 minute i lose the first bar of battery, after 10 minute i lose the second bar, in about another 10 or 20 min I am down to 1 bar. From that point the bleeper constantly bleeps, which is annoying. But the battery's are still good for another 2 hour or so. Maybe longer.

Sounds like normal behavior - that's just the UPS' low battery alert. If as you say there is a management card in the slot in the back you can change the on-battery behavior to Mute the alert.

As for calibration you can either do it thru the management card, or do it manually by "BRAIN-DEADING" the UPS:  Pull the plug when its on line with load attached then let the UPS completely drain its batteries til it shuts down, then unplug the UPS, press and hold the off button til you hear a click, then disconnect the battery, press and hold the power on button for 20 to 30 seconds to discharge the UPS' internal capacitors, then plug the battery back in, plug the UPS back in and power it up. As it charges up again the battery run time should be recalibrated.
