MICROSOL-APC(8) 		   NUT Manual			 MICROSOL-APC(8)

NAME
     microsol-apc - Driver for APC Back-UPS BR UPS equipment

SYNOPSIS
     microsol-apc -h

     microsol-apc -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

	 Note

	 This  man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the mi-
	 crosol-apc driver. For information about the core driver,  see  nutups-
	 drv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
     This driver supports the following UPS models:

     *	 APC Back-UPS BZ1500-BR

     *	 APC Back-UPS BZ2200I-BR

     *	 APC Back-UPS BZ2200BI-BR

     In  2009,	Schneider  Electric acquired Microsol Technologies, and by 2012,
     the entire Microsol line was being sold under the APC  brand.  This  driver
     supports  these  newer,  APC-branded models. Older equipment should use so-
     lis(8).

EXTRA ARGUMENTS
     This  driver  support  the  following  extra  optional  settings	in   the
     ups.conf(5).

     battext=n
	 Default = 0, no extra battery, where n = Ampere*hour.

     prgshut=n
	 Default = 0, no programmable shutdown; 1 to enable one.

COMMANDS
     shutdown.return
	 Shut down in .3 minutes and restart in .3 minutes after that.

     shutdown.stayoff
	 Shut down in .3 minutes and do not return.

ISSUES
     For  other  APC-Microsol  models, the reported voltages, currents and power
     will be incorrect, as the communication protocol reports  unprocessed  data
     instead  of real values, needing model-specific post-processing by the dri-
     ver. Monitoring of UPS state (on-battery/on-line, critical battery)  should
     work for other models, but is untested.
