backup power

Post by jonegross »

Was wondering is there is a way to setup a ups with the reef angel so if power went out it would turn off everything besides a pump and heater? Thought I had seen something like this before but couldn't find...thanks

The scenario was to use a regular wall wart power supply to find out status of power outage.
If you keep the RA system on the baterry-back-up and use a wall wart power supply on the non battery back-up side, when the power went out, you would keep the RA system online and the wall wart would loose power, indicating the RA that there was a power outage, in which case it would turn whichever ports you like until power was restored.
This wall wart cannot exceed 5VDC output and you would have to use one of the ATO inputs for monitoring.
Roberto.
