Chloride Introduces Powerful Connectivity Tool

LIBERTYVILLE, IL, July 28, 2008 -- Chloride, a global leader and provider of secure power solutions, today announced the availability of the "+B" version of its new ManageUPS™ "P" Series UPS Network Adapter.

New ManageUPS Net Adapter +B simplifies the challenge of monitoring the operational status of Chloride and ONEAC® brand UPS systems via multiple communications schemes for multiple user requirements. This unique capability facilitates the integration of UPS monitoring functions with popular network management systems including IBM Tivoli and HP Openview as well as leading Building Management Systems (BMS) such as Metasys® from Johnson Controls, Apogee® from Siemens Building Technologies, Tridium®  from Honeywell or TAC® from Invensys.

Featuring both a modular 8-position jack for Ethernet and screw terminals for RS-485 cabling, the card enables users to remotely monitor their UPS units via SNMP, web browser, e-mail, ModBus and J-Bus. Users can also program and customize alarm and advisory messages for various conditions and deliver the alerts via e-mail, SMS, SNMP TRAP, MODBUS, or J-BUS protocols. Internal flash memory allows for on-board data and event logging, while also providing a platform for future-proof updating.

The ManageUPS Net Adapter +B is available with or without Environmental Monitoring capability to measure ambient temperature and humidity, and to accept dry-contact signals from three or more third-party devices such as generators, TVSS panels, or door switches.
