CONNECTION
From UPS to LIFE.NET WATCH STATION
The UPS unit can call the LIFE.NET WATCH STATION in 3 different modes: Routine, Emergency
and Manual.
Routine calls are made automatically at pre-set intervals.
Emergency calls are made in the event of abnormal operating conditions.
A Manual call can be requested by the Customer to check the state of a UPS when it is not working ENG
properly
From LIFE.NET WATCH STATION to UPS
If the telephone line connected to the UPS is not in use, it is possible to call the Unit from the Watch
Station: this permits the Watch Station Operator to check the operation of the UPS without the Cus-
tomer having to make a Manual Call.
