Hi there..

We have some very large, very, very expensive Hayley Industrial
Electronics UPSes... Amazingly these UPSes have NO method of us getting
telemetry off of them as they exist now! They only indicators we have
are the analogue guages on the front. These guages measure the load in
Amps, Voltage, and frequency. We'd like to measure the following
conditions within the UPSes, and either have that information accessible
via a serial device or on the network (Items with a * are available on
the analogue guages):

- Input voltage
- Input Cycles
- Cabinet operating temperature
- Battery plant operating temperature
- Battery plant voltage level
- *Output Voltage
- *Output Amps
- *Output Cycles

If anyone knows of anything we can use for this purpose, I would
appreciate any input... Thanks!

Regards,
Richard.
