Hello I have just purchased a Mars Convertible MS3000RT UPS (http://www.uisabler.com.tw/HTM/product-marsC.htm#) which has a RS-232 interface. According to the manual, - the RS232 uses just the RX/TX pins - it speaks MegaTec RUPS II I have installed nut-2.0.3 and using the fentonups driver, I get most of the information OK: [root@wolfy tmp]# upsc ablerex@localhost battery.charge: 100.0 battery.voltage: 2.19 driver.name: fentonups driver.version: 2.0.3 driver.version.internal: 1.22 input.frequency: 50.0 input.voltage: 225.3 output.voltage: 220.0 ups.load: 007 ups.mfr: Ablerex ups.model: PowerPure S3000RT ups.status: OL ups.temperature: 39.9 However, there are two values which are not OK: battery.charge: 100.0 and battery.voltage: 2.19. The 100.0 value was shown even immediately after a complete drain of the UPS. About 2 hours later the software included in the package ("UPSilon 2000") claimed the battery was charged 89% (increased to 95% half an hour later), value which is much closer to reality then the 100% shown by nut. After an hour of google and reading of the online nut docs I have no clue how to convince nut to show the real values. Could anyone please assist me ? -- Manuel Wolfshant linux registered user #131416 IT manager NoBug Consulting Romania http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=40317
Please try the "powermust" driver (or "megatec", if you are willing to try the development branch).

However, no luck with powermust: [root@wolfy ups]# upsc ablerex@localhost battery.charge: 0.0 <===very wrong battery.voltage: 2.3 <== very wrong battery.voltage.nominal: 96.0 driver.name: powermust driver.version: 2.0.3 driver.version.internal: 1.1 input.voltage: 237.7 input.voltage.fault: 190.0 input.voltage.maximum: 239.5 input.voltage.minimum: 237.7 output.frequency: 50.0 output.voltage: 220.0 output.voltage.target.battery: 220.0 ups.delay.shutdown: 2 ups.delay.start: 3 ups.load: 9.0 ups.mfr: Mustek <== wrong ups.model: PowerMust <== wrong ups.serial: unknown ups.status: OL I will give megatec a try, once I compile it.
