14 The Richcomm dry-contact to USB solution is a generic interface that is
15 used to upgrade an existing (RS-232) contact closure UPS interface to
16 USB. As such, all the limitations of the underlying contact closure
17 interface apply. This means that you will only get the essentials in
18 ups.status: OL, OB, and LB. See also genericups(8).

21 Most contact-closure UPSes will not power down the load if the line
22 power is present. This can create a race when using slave upsmon(8)
23 systems. See the upsmon(8) man page for more information.
24
25 The solution to both of these problems is to upgrade to a smart
26 protocol UPS of some kind that allows detection and proper load cycling
27 on command.
