# victronups(8)

Driver for IMV/Victron UPS unit Match, Match Lite, NetUps

## NAME

victronups - Driver for IMV/Victron UPS unit Match, Match Lite, NetUps

## SYNOPSIS

**victronups** -h

**victronups** -a *UPS\_NAME* \[*OPTIONS*\]

**Note**\

This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the **victronups** driver. For information about the core driver, see [**nutupsdrv**(8)](/nutupsdrv/8.md).

## SUPPORTED HARDWARE

The victronups driver should recognize all Victron models that use a serial protocol at 1200 bps. These include Match Lite, Match and the NetUps line.

The Match Lite line may only report a handful of variables. This is usually not a bug — they just don’t support anything else.

**modelname**=*name*

Set model name

**usd**=*delay*

Set delay before shutdown on UPS

## BUGS

The protocol for this UPS is not officially documented.
