FXM UPS Operator's Manual

If you are downloading from Microsoft’s web site, you must have Internet Explorer installed on your computer. In addition to installing .NET, downloading from the web site updates your computer with all the latest security updates. If your computer is part of a company network, you should ask your network administrator if you can download software from the internet.

Novus User Software (available for download from www.alpha.com). It is packaged as a Zip file, so you have to un-zip it and save it where you can access it.

Computer with at least Windows 98 with Microsoft’s .NET framework installed.

DB–9 serial straight-through computer cable.

Procedure

1. Install the Novus User Software onto your computer. Restart the computer.

If you install the user software on a version of Windows without the .NET framework installed (See Section 4.6.2), you will get an error message saying the framework is not installed. Install the framework onto your computer, restart your computer then try again to install the software.

2. Connect the computer cable from any available communications port on your computer to the RS–232 port on the UPS’s front panel (See Section 4.1, “Wiring the RS-232 Port”).
