Measures reported by AtsDevStatusTest

This test helps to monitor the status of key factors that influence the availability, overall health and operations of the APC Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). With the help of the metrics reports, administrators can determine the following quickly:

  • Has the switch failed?
  • Is the communication port of the switch unavailable/inaccessible?
  • Are the input sources of the switch still redundant, or was redundancy lost recently? Has any source failed? Are the sources in sync?
  • Was any output overload noticed? If so, where? - in voltage? current? or power?

Using the answers to these questions, administrators can rapidly capture real/probable problem conditions and swiftly resolve them, so as to ensure the high availability of the switch.

Outputs of the test :One set of results for the target APC Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) that is to be monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Switch_status Indicates whether/not the APC Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is operational.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Fail 1
Ok 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the APC Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is operational. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Comm_status Indicates the communication status of this device.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Never discovered 1
Communication established 2
Communication lost 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the communication status of this device. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 3.
src_selected Indicates currently through which source (Source A or Source B), the APC Automatic Transfer Switch(ATS) is receiving the power supply.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Source A 1
Source B 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate through which source (Source A or Source B), the APC Automatic Transfer Switch(ATS) is receiving the power supply. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Redundancy_st Indicates the redundancy state of the APC ATS device.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Redundancy lost 1
Fully redundant 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the redundancy state of the APC ATS device. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Output_curr_st Indicates if the switch's current output is within or above permissible limits it.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Over current 1
Ok 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate if the switch's current output is within or above permissible limits it. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Output_volt_st Indicates if voltage output of the switch is within/above permissible limits.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Fail 1
Ok 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate if voltage output of the switch is within/above permissible limits. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Frnt_panel_st Indicates if the front panel button in the device can be used to lock or unlock the source-switching in the device.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Locked 1
Unlocked 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate if the front panel button in the device can be used to lock or unlock the source-switching in the device. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Source_A_st Indicates if source A is functioning normally or has failed.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Fail 1
Ok 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate if source A is functioning normally or has failed. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Source_B_st Indicates if source B is functioning normally or has failed.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Fail 1
Ok 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate if source B is functioning normally or has failed. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
Physcl_sync_st Indicates whether/not the phases of Source A and Source B are in sync.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
In sync 1
Out of sync 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the phases of Source A and Source B are in sync. The graph of this measure however, represents the status using the numeric equivalents only-1 to 2.
