UPS Low Battery Signal Time

This parameter in the "UPS Shutdown Parameters" dialog box specifies when PowerChute plus will create one of the two events explained in the following table:

UPS Operational State
Event Generated at UPS Low Battery Signal Time
Example
On battery (supplying battery power) Low Battery Condition event If UPS Low Battery Signal Time is 10, PowerChute plus generates this event when the battery has 10 minutes of runtime remaining. Note
PowerChute plus always initiates a shutdown after a Low Battery Condition event.
On line (using utility power UPS Battery Is Discharged event If UPS Low Battery Signal Time is 10 and the UPS is on line, PowerChute plus generates this event when the battery has 10 minutes of runtime remaining. Because the UPS is on lineon line, PowerChute plus by default does not shut down the system in response to this event. (See Event Actions...)

The following Run Time bar graph shows a red area indicating a Low Battery Signal Time value of 7 minutes (marked with an arrow in the example).

Note:
By default, the main screen does not display the Run Time bar graph. See
Monitoring Preferences... for information about how to select which bar graphs the main screen displays.
