PC house cheating?

Hey,

I am a UPS freak.. I have bought like four UPS's now. Anyway, I bought the Panora UPS because people said its good. But then when I loaded the software they gave with the CD which is used to monitor the UPS I found the e-mail functions don't work (they are virtually dummy functions I guess). Into further findings I found that the real designer of the UPS is Remio (http://www.remio-ups.com/english/index.php). And http://www.remio-ups.com/english/products_series.php?cid=5&sid=10 convinced me that the statement "The product is made with Sri Lankan Expertise" is false. Aleast they should have imported the UPS in the colorful case. I'd really want that

I thought Panora was a Sri Lankan product... I think they are importing it. And in the box of it, it says Made in Proc there is no country called Proc.

Also the processor of the UPS (although its a line interactive UPS) identifies the UPS as a off-line (Standby) UPS which is why it uses a different protocol for the COM port communication (so the Winpower software won't support it).

Either PC house made a really bad choice when they decided on the UPS model or they wanted to do a cheap job.

Also! The PowerPlus Software that is given with the Panora UPS is owned by Remio so there are no two questions about the real owner of the UPS model. And thanks to PC house now I have to run my Sunpac UPS for the data cable and the Panora for the Backup. My power bill topped off to Rs. 7500 thanks to that. Now I'm off hunting for another good UPS where the data cable feature is working.

Thanks.

Most UPS for home PCs (Interactive or not) are Off-Line UPS. which means the battery power only turns on when there is a power falier.
On-Line UPS has battery circuit is always on (there is no transfer time between AC and Battery power). On-line UPS are more expensive because they use hight quality batteries etc. and are used with servers or workstations. Off-Lines UPS are enough for home PCs.

have you tried RUPS 2000. it works on most UPS.

What is the protocol of the UPS?

That setup will hardly draw more power. Maybe 5-10% more...

UPS's in Sri Lanka are not Off-Line UPS's and they are the most cheapest UPS there is. The flaw of Off-Line is that they cannot give AVR since the UPS is disconnected from the load when main power exists. Line Interactive on the the other hand can give an AVR because of the Boost and Buck transformer it uses but the only down side is that the Line Interactive can't charge the battery while its giving backup so relays are used to switch the battery in and out of charging and backup mode.

The Panora UPS is a line interactive but has a processor of a Off-Line UPS.
And I'm going to give away this UPS to my friend. The only bad thing that happened to it is the fuses for the phone line protection got blown some how. I'm giving it for Rs. 1500 with 1.5 years warranty. :cool:
