a) 12VINHI if voltage is sensed on the12V input
b) 12VINLO if 0V is sensed on the 12V input
c) BUTTONON if the ON/OFF button status is ON.
d) BUTTONOFF if the ON/OFF button status is OFF.
e) 12VOUTHI if the trigger output is ON (+12V)
f) 12VOUTLO if the trigger output is OFF (0V)
Request the status of the outlet banks. PS responds with:

e) HICURRENTON if the high-current (delayed) outlets are ON
f) HICURRENTOFF if the high-current outlets are OFF
Request the status of the input voltage
a) NORMAL if the voltage is within limits
b) OVERVOLTAGE if the voltage is greater than 132VAC
c) UNDERVOLTAGE if the voltage is less than 95VAC
d) RECOVERY if recovering from an over/undervoltage state but
has not yet restored power to outlets.
