Basic ports

The funtionality of a Share-UPS Basic port is shown below. The following
limitations and capabilities apply the the basic port interface:

- pins 3, 5 and 6 are open collector outputs which must be pulled up
to a common referenced supply no greater than +40Vdc. The transistors
are capable of a maximun non-inductive oad of 25mAdc. Use only Pin 4
as the common.

- The output at Pin 2 generate a Lo-to-HI RS232 level what the device is
signaling On-Battery.  The pin is normally at a LO RS-232 level.

- The Share-Ups may be signaled to shutdown the UPS by applying a HI RS-232
level to Pin 1 for 4.5 seconds. Shutdown is also dependent on the UPS~s state
and the Share-UPS~s shutdown mode.
