Title: Message
Yup .... from what Steve Mogan said it seems that you're both absolutely right.
 
I have to say that I thought it was daft nowadays to have UPSs on domestic systems but since moving in here about 18months ago I have changed my mind. We were away Mon/Tue/Wed last week in Kent and arrived home to find VCR clocks flashing and the mechanical CH timer about 8 hours slow - according to the neighbour who was feeding our cat there had been *3* power cuts!
 
That's now *7* cuts since Xmas!

Phil, not sure if this helps but every UPS I've ever had uses a special cable - a standard serial one would never normally work.  I've user Fiskars, Chloride, and I'm now on my 4th Merlin Gerrin 12kva 'la' UPS, thanks to a mental electrician friend of mine!

Hiya Geraint,

UPS arrived Friday and have had it on charge since then, now up to 100%.
Have installed Powerchute on the laptop but as soon as I plug in a
serial cable then the UPS turns off - any ideas?

It has been on overnight supplying the standby current to my projector
quite happily and I have just tried it again ... As soon as I make a
connection to my laptop then the UPS turns off (doesn't matter if the
laptop is on or off) and will not turn back on again until the serial
cable is removed.

The serial cable has worked OK on my ISDN modem, HomeVision, OnDodgy
card programmer etc.

Phil
