The UPS Color code

If all settings have been entered correctly, administrators can view the current UPS status in real time using the UPS monitor. While the interface layout may vary depending on the manufacturer and model, key information—such as the selected UPS model—will be displayed.

Overview – the color code

The upper status bar offers an overview of all connected devices. The color scheme is based on the typical colors of a traffic light. In general, a distinction is made between 4 different system states, which are correspondingly highlighted with a color code. What exactly applies is described in a short text next to the marker.

The colors of the markers will change as followed:

1. Initialization phase of devices and services

   	The services are currently starting to search for devices. This notice can be seen both, when commissioning additional modules or when restarting the CS141 for some reasons, as an example a reboot caused by a firmware update.
   	The initialization phase has been completed and no device was found. A blue marker means that the connection was never established. Please check wiring and operating state of the according devices. In some cases, you also may check your configuration work.

2. Notifications and alarm conditions during normal operating mode

   	Devices and alarms are within the specified parameters, everything OK.
   	There is an event that deviates from normal operation and should be observed, e.g. A running UPS test, temperatures reach remarkable values, initialization of devices and services is carried out after a restart, etc.
   	A device reports an alarm state or the conditions for a configured alarm behavior have been met. Communication Lost with a red marker means that an existing connection to a device has broken down.
