To program IR output:

1. 

From the setup menu, turn the Menu Navigation Knob until IR1 Setup is displayed. Push the Menu Navigation Knob to 

select.

2. 

Turn the Menu Navigation Knob until IR1 Program is displayed. 

3. 

The screen will display the message “READY TO SAMPLE REMOTE”. Press the button on the remote.

4. 

If the signal was learned, then the screen will display the message “IR1 SAMPLED” and advance to the “TEST IR” screen. 

Press the navigation knob to test.

5. 

If the signal was not learned, the screen will display the message “IR1 SAMPLE FAIL”, then it will return to the IR1 Pro

gram screen. Repeat steps 3 and 4.

6. 

To program another IR device, from the Setup menu, turn the Menu Navigation Knob until IR2 Setup is displayed.  Follow 

steps 3-5.

RS-232 Communications Protocol & Command Set

The RS-232 serial interface can be used in the following ways:

1. Initial system setup. An installer can use a notebook computer to set the variables within the Power Control software. Once the 
setup is completed, the notebook computer can be disconnected. All settings are stored in the F1000-UPS.

2. Connection to a PC or Network: Functionality is very similar to a standard UPS with a PC.
The F1000-UPS can provide continued power to maintain recording capabilities of any number of devices in the event of a black 
out or brown out. It is also capable of saving open documents and shutting down the PC during extended power failures. This 
requires a permanent RS-232 connection to the PC and having the Power Control software running in the background on the PC. 
(Windows based OS only; Mac Energy Saver software compatible)

3. Integration with sophisticated automation systems like AMX and Crestron:
The serial communications command set and protocol is open and is published later in this manual. This information can be used 
by the automation system programmer for both F1000-UPS control by the automation system and reporting of power events by 
the F1000-UPS to the automation system.

Flow Control: 

None

Controller Commands

Commands and responses are in the form of ASCII character strings terminated with a carriage return <CR> ASCII character 13 
(hex). If the state variable LINEFEED MODE = ON, a linefeed character (<LF>, 0Ah, 10d) will follow the carriage return.

Incoming messages (to the F1000-UPS) shall be terminated with one of the following characters: NUL (00h, 00d), carriage 
return (<CR>, 0Dh, 13d) or line feed (<LF>, 0Ah, 10d).

The F1000-UPS shall discard the incoming message under the following conditions:
The message overruns the receiver buffer (32 characters).
No terminating character (NUL, <CR>, <LF>) is received within 500ms of receipt of the last character.
The following are commands sent by the controlling equipment to the F1000-UPS.  

NOTE:

 Responses are only transmitted if unsolicited feedback is enabled (!SET_FEEDBACK)
