microsol-apc -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

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 solis(8).

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.

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.

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 driver. Monitoring of UPS state (on-battery/on-line, critical battery) should work for other models, but is untested.
