A system and method are provided for notifying a user about the occurrence of at least one predetermined event associated with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in operable communication with the system. The system comprises a worker module and a user interface module. The worker module determines whether the predetermined event has occurred and, responsive to said determination, the user interface module generates an user interface providing information relating to an operating parameter of the UPS. The user interface comprises at least one of a graphical portion and an alphanumeric portion.

User interface providing UPS information

Methods and systems are provided for controlling the enabling and/or disabling of an audio alarm that indicates an occurrence of a predetermined event of a power supply, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes programming the UPS to enable the audio alarm of the power supply during a first predetermined time period, and programming the UPS to disable the audio alarm of the power supply while the power supply is still operational during a second predetermined time period. In embodiments of the invention, the system is able to enable and disable an audio alarm during specified time periods of the day. Thus, a user can use the system to designate when an alarm will not sound so as not to disturb the user or others at an inconvenient time.
