NAME
       powervar_cx_ser - Driver for Powervar UPM Series UPS equipment with
       Serial connection

SYNOPSIS
       powervar_cx_ser -h

       powervar_cx_ser -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

           Note

           This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
           Powervar driver. For information about the core driver, see
           nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
       This driver supports the Powervar UPM UPS family (devices with serial
       port connection). For USB connected UPM Series devices, see also
       powervar_cx_usb(8).

EXTRA ARGUMENTS
       This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5)
       file:

       startdelay=num
           Change startup delay time from 1 second default.

       offdelay=num
           Change shutdown delay time from 0 second default.

       disptesttime=num
           Change display test time from the 10 second default.

INSTANT COMMANDS
       This driver supports the following Instant Commands (see upscmd(8)):

   All GTS and UPM UPS units
       beeper.disable
           Disable the UPS beeper.

       beeper.enable
           Enable the UPS beeper.

       beeper.mute
           Temporarily mute the UPS beeper.

       shutdown.return
           Turn off the load possibly after a delay and return when power is
           back.

       shutdown.stop
           Stop a shutdown in progress.

       shutdown.reboot
           Shut down the load briefly while rebooting the UPS.

       shutdown.stayoff
           Turn off the load and remain off.

       test.battery.start.deep
           Start a "deep" battery test. This test runs the UPS until the low
           battery point and then returns to the AC line.

       test.battery.start.quick
           Start a "quick" battery test. The default time is 2 minutes. This
           time can be set in the ups.conf file. See testime above.

       test.battery.stop
           Stops a battery test that is in progress.

       test.failure.start
           Starts a simulation of an input power failure.

       test.failure.stop
           Stops a simulation of an input power failure.

   All UPM UPS units
       test.panel.start
           Start testing the UPS panel.

       reset.input.minmax
           Reset minimum and maximum input voltage status.

WRITABLE VARIABLES
       See upsrw(8) to see what variables are writable for the UPS.
