Configuring JACE-700

Prerequisites:

The setup of the onboard tamper switch Contact Input (CI TMP) is at a different location.
A station in the controller is running and open in Workbench.

Services > PlatformServices, and double-click PowerMonitorService
The Power Monitor Platform Service view opens in the view pane.
As needed, change configuration properties, which include:
- Primary Power Settings
  Shutdown Delay Timer
  Defines the period that the controller waits between detecting loss of AC power and performing a graceful shutdown (backs up database and powers board off).
  
  NOTE: At shutdown the system also turns off 12V battery power wired to any external I/O modules. Depending on whether a sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery is connected, and also on the battery's capacity (as well as the loading factor of any attached remote I/O modules), the maximum recommended shutdown time can vary. Longer periods mean more time running on battery power.If no external SLA battery is present, a value from 30 seconds to 1 minute (the default) is recommended.If an external SLA battery is present, a time of one fourth or less than the total possible battery run time is conservative. Otherwise, in a scenario with successive multiple lengthy power failures, the SLA battery may become completely discharged.
  
  Power Alarm Support
  
  Expand this property to access additional properties that define how the station handles primary power alarms, including the alarm class to use and other alarm source information properties.
- NIMH Battery Settings
  Nimh Battery Alarm Support
  
  Expand this property to access additional properties that define how the station handles nimhBattery alarms, including the alarm class to use and other alarm source information properties. Such alarms apply to the onboard NiMH battery pack in the controller, which is always periodically tested.
- SLA Battery Settings
  Sla Battery Present
  Boolean (checkbox) specifies if an external SLA battery is connected. If set to true (checked), the controller supplies trickle charge voltage, and also periodically tests the battery. The default value is false for no SLA battery (checkbox cleared).
  
  Sla Battery Alarm Support
  
  Expand to this property to access additional properties that define how the station handles slaBattery alarms, including the alarm class and other alarm source information properties. If Sla Battery Present is set to true (checked), such alarms apply to the external 12V sealed lead-acid battery connected to (and trickle charged by) the controller.
- UPS Settings
  Ups Present
  Boolean (checkbox) specifies if one or two normally-closed (N.C.) alarm contacts are wired to onboard Contact Inputs (CIs) labeled PWR and BAT on the controller. The default value is false (checkbox cleared) for no monitoring.
  
  Ups Power Alarm Support
  
  Expand this property to access the additional properties that define how the station handles upsPower alarms (based on “open” at the controller’s onboard CI PWR (UPS PWR)), including alarm class and other alarm source information properties.
  
  Ups Battery Alarm Support
  
  Expand this property to access additional properties that define how the station handles upsBattery alarms (based on an “open” at the controller’s onboard CI PWR (UPS BATT)), including alarm class and other alarm source information properties. Several settings reflect read-only status properties, as follows:
  
  Primary Power Present — Boolean, displays Yes (true) if 15Vdc power is currently supplied to the controller.
  
  NiMH Battery — is a container for NiMH battery values concatenated on a single line:
  
  State — (with icon) is an enumerated descriptor, which is typically Idle if fully charged, else Charging, Discharging, or Unknown.
  
  If this indicator displays Charging, it also displays the estimated remaining charge time until fully charged (Charge Time Left).
  
  NiMH Battery Good — Boolean, displays Yes (true) if last controller NiMH battery test was good.
  
  NiMH Battery Time of Last Test, provides a timestamp (in AbsTime format) of the last NiMH battery test performed by the controller.
  
  SLA Battery Good — Boolean, displays Yes (true) if the last controller test of the external SLA battery was good.
  
  SLA Battery Time of Last Test, provides a timestamp (in AbsTime format) of the last NiMH battery test performed by the controller.
  
  UPS AC Power Present — Boolean, displays Yes (true) if the controller’s onboard CI PWR (UPS PWR) is closed.
  
  UPS Battery Good — Boolean, displays Yes (true) if the controller’s onboard CI BAT (UPS BATT) is closed.
  
  UPS Battery Time of Last Test - provides a timestamp (in AbsTime format) of the last poll of all onboard contact inputs on the controller.
