Special Cabling Note
Be aware that an RS-232 cable with ONLY the RX, TX and ground pin must be used when interfacing with GXT2
series UPS units (and possibly others), since the handshaking lines are used for purposes other than
RS-232 flow control.
Use of a standard RS-232 cable with full handshaking may result in undesired operation and/or shutdown.
It is therefore advisable to confirm the proper cable/wiring with the diagram provided in the manual with
your UPS.
Supported Hardware
Tested to work on the following units:
• Liebert GXT2-6000RT208
This is an experimental driver. You have been warned.
