Fideltronik Lupus 500 LCD no comunication.

[V4M]

Welcome,


I have problem with my UPS, it's old Fideltronik Lupus 500 LCD (line interactive UPS).

I had bought new accu for it, and it can hold my NAS + network gear up to 25 min.


But I can't force it to talk with freenas.


It is on supported list in nut, and also apears on drop down menu “drivers” in UPS settings (nutdrv_qx).

It is connected to ugen0.4

Code:

Jul 18 19:27:02 NAS ugen0.4: <MEC> at usbus0 (disconnected)
Jul 18 19:27:02 NAS uhid0: at uhub1, port 2, addr 4 (disconnected)
Jul 18 19:27:05 NAS ugen0.4: <MEC> at usbus0
Jul 18 19:27:05 NAS uhid0: <MEC MEC0002, class 0/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 4> on usbus0

Jul 18 19:31:00 NAS notifier: nut not running? (check /var/db/nut/upsd.pid).

I had try to set port to auto in auxality parameters:

Code:

novendor

port=auto

I think it is related to USB to RS232 converter driver.

As I remember most of those cheap UPS have RS232 to USB converter, and they talk by RS protocol. But Im not sure.


Can anyone have any advice , how to force that UPS to work?


I got it for free, my only cost is new PB accumulator ^^

System is updated, and working fine.

Were you able to make this work?

No I wasn't able to get that working, I don't have to much free time recently, so I focus my attention on other diy project.


Second issue is that I had got Zippy NRW-6400P and it has full PFC, and that UPS doesn't support that kind of load (on papaer). New PSU still not tested in my NAS.

I think these UPS will be assigned to other task.
