[Nut-upsuser] Questions about Eaton 5E 1, 100W 2, 200VA 6-Outlet UPS

I recently purchased a UPS from
http://www.microcenter.com/product/470131/5E_1,100W_2,200VA_6-Outlet_UPS

It's sold as an Eaton 5E 1,100W 2,200VA 6-Outlet UPS

SKU: 147140
Mfr Part #: 5E2200USB-LA
UPC: 743172064875

"The Eaton 5E is an essential line interactive UPS that provides cost
effective and reliable power protection against power outages and bad power
quality. Thanks to its small size the 5E can be installed easily in a
business environment or at home."

Network UPS Tools upsc 2.7.4-151-g9209e18

The git development version was required to get any communication with the
UPS; however a number of surprises awaited me.

upsc eaton5e at localhost

ups.mfr: CTN
ups.model: USB UPS
ups.productid: 0003
ups.status: OB
ups.vendorid: 06da

The Manufacturer, model, and data presented are... not at all what I
expected.

The particular model I selected has a 20A style plug.  While I can plug it
in, I've no other devices with such a plug so I can't actually confirm
it's
making proper contact.

It would be nice if someone more aware of the state of the UPS industry
could comment on if this UPS is Eaton 'branded' as a result of some
licencing deal and/or merger; or if this UPS happens to be a counterfeit.

I'd also like to know if I should be expecting to see things like the line
quality, UPS load, and maybe even a battery voltage (if not remaining time
estimate) from a 'lower end' UPS.

[Nut-upsuser] Questions about Eaton 5E 1, 100W 2, 200VA 6-Outlet UPS

It seems that the UPS I bought is actually served by the blazer_usb driver.

USB ids 06da:0003 (lsusb DB thinks it's a "Phoenixtec Power Co., Ltd
1300VA
UPS", but this has apparantly been re-used by Eaton 5E2200USB-LA)

It's sold as an Eaton 5E 1,100W 2,200VA 6-Outlet UPS

SKU: 147140 Mfr Part #: 5E2200USB-LA UPC: 743172064875

http://www.microcenter.com/product/470131/5E_1,100W_2,200VA_6-Outlet_UPS

"The Eaton 5E is an essential line interactive UPS that provides cost
effective and reliable power protection against power outages and bad power
quality. Thanks to its small size the 5E can be installed easily in a
business environment or at home."



I can only assume that the usbhid-ups driver guesses the manufacturer as
the first whole name in the data-strings if it doesn't reccognize it.

Additional research in to the USB device ID lead to news articles from
2008(!) about Eaton aquiring Phoneixtek.  I'm not sure if this is some UPS
that's been sitting on a shelf for years or not . . . :(



# cat >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-nut.rules << "HEREDOC"

SYSFS{idVendor}=="06da", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003",
MODE="664", GROUP="nut"

HEREDOC

# udevadm control --reload-rules

I think I recall hearing systemd ate udev?

# systemctl daemon-reload

Then I disconnected/reconnected the UPS, since that was faster than looking
up re-triggering udev rules.


# cat >> /etc/ups/ups.conf << HEREDOC

[eaton5e]
        driver  = blazer_usb
        port    = auto
        vendorid = 06da
        productid = 0003
HEREDOC


I still need to perform the following calibrations:

default.battery.voltage.high = value
Maximum battery voltage that is reached after about 12 to 24 hours
charging. If you want the driver to report a guesstimated battery.charge,
you need to specify this (see BATTERY CHARGE).

default.battery.voltage.low = value
Minimum battery voltage just before the UPS automatically shuts down. If
you want the driver to report a guesstimated battery.charge, you need to
specify this (see BATTERY CHARGE).

runtimecal = tShigh,pLhigh,tSmed,pLmed  (timeSeconds and 'percent load'
high/low)


The first doesn't sound that difficult, it's mostly just waiting.  The
second and third values... THOSE are a lot more difficult with older
incandescent light bulbs difficult to find.

Thanks, this info is useful.

Yes, and it is grabbing that from the USB string descriptors mentioned in the
Device Descriptor:

  iManufacturer           3 
  iProduct                1 

(If lsusb has write access to that USB device - usually when running as root -
it will retrieve and display those string descriptors after the numbers.)
> Additional research in to the USB device ID lead to news articles from
2008(!) about Eaton aquiring Phoneixtek.  I'm not sure if this is some UPS

I would be surprised if the entire unit was sitting on the shelf, but the
simpler chips are likely older designs.

This should be covered by one of the rules in the udev file that NUT installs.
Maybe check the path that is detected by ./configure? It's controlled by
"--with-udev-dir=PATH".

Also, was this needed for the Arch package? There was an issue with
Debian/Ubuntu packages where the installed file was the wrong priority (well, it
was initially correct, then something changed around it).

New work is being done on nutdrv_qx rather than blazer_*, but fortunately it is
fairly similar to configure:

The second and third values... THOSE are a lot more difficult with older

Thanks, we'll add this to the DDL:

Hmm, I'll see if we can add a warning if those IDs are passed to usbhid-ups.
(We have a few special cases for other confusing label-versus-OEM naming
situations.)

I think you mentioned this elsewhere, but it is not unusual for vendors to use
different controllers for different model classes. I was only aware of the MGE
and Powerware lines for Eaton, but then again, I don't buy new equipment
often.
> I'd also like to know if I should be expecting to see things like the
line quality, UPS load, and maybe even a battery voltage (if not remaining time
estimate) from a 'lower end' UPS.
For instance, compare http://networkupstools.org/ddl/Eaton/Powerware_3105.html
and http://networkupstools.org/ddl/Eaton/Powerware_5110.html - some of that may
be due to deficiencies in the driver, but the more typical failure mode is to
print an incorrect value rather than omit a value.

We're trying to better understand why xhci_hcd has a hard time with 1.5
Mbit/sec USB. It has mostly shown up with other UPS brands, but I wouldn't
be surprised if it was the same root cause as this. While switching to a better
cable or adding a hub would make these problems go away in the past, that has
not been the case with more recent motherboards.
