Is there a UPS that after the mains power has gone off and the UPS has run out of power, that once the mains power has returned the UPS will turn itself back on again?

The one we have you have to manually press the button on after it has shut off :confused:

Thanks :)
 
I did too but it just makes a massive never ending beep whilst being turned off.

Even after the power is returned it continues its high pitched beep and does not turn itself on again.

You have to manually press the on button which is not practical as the PC is miles away offsite! :(

You shouldn't allow the UPS to run out anyway, you should set it to shutdown the machine once battery level reaches a low level.

I'm a tad confused. The PC is set to shutdown.. the PC does shut down. The UPS however is still on after the mains goes out.

The site runs on a generator and it goes off after work, by the time morning comes the UPS is dead anyhows.

Maybe its a rubbish UPS and should not die after being left on overnight?

Or maybe you mean the UPS should shut off before it dies and can be programmed to turn back on :confused:

Cheers :)

I have found the software CD and the only option are choosing the percentage of battery left in the UPS before stopping power the PC.

Nothing at all about powering off the UPS itself and turning itself back on either by time or when the mains power returns :(

I guess this is now more of a spec me a model that can do this thread. Current make is APC and model is a 'BE550-UK'.
 
Just got off the phone to APC and they say a SC420i at £99 should do the job. You are correct it was a SMART UPS I needed :)

Not considerable amount more tho as my one current one costs £60-70 according to my boss :confused:
