Welcome


There is not much here, but this site serves as a reminder of past things we had to dig up on google or another search engine that we thought were note-worthy and that we thought we might need again.

This site is not ment to be a one stop shop for everyone, nor is it ment to be complete, well thought out, etc; but only a place to store our 'notes'.

MSDS sheets for the different batteries used in APC UPS systems

From the APC website:

The type of batteries used in APC's uninterruptible power supplies are sealed, nonspillable, maintenance-free, lead-acid batteries. The electrolyte is suspended in felt pads within the battery and therefore the batteries are spill-proof. The battery terminals are protected against short-circuit during transport. APC adheres to provision number A67 in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the batteries that are used. Since different batteries are used in different UPS systems, the MSDS sheets are not UPS model specific but rather battery specific. Any of the mentioned manufacturers could be used as almost any UPS battery. The battery manufacturer's name may be located on the battery itself. If it is not, the Back UPS, Smart UPS, Matrix, and Symmetra units generally use CSB or Panasonic batteries. B&B Battery, Power Battery, and Yuasa are used for larger UPS systems. Please find the MSDS sheets for the battery installed in your particular UPS below.

Creating barcodes in Excel

Excel
In order to make code 39 or code 3 of 9 barcodes, first, make sure you have the fonts needed. See this location, and download BARCOD39.TTF. Place this file in your c:\windows\fonts or c:\winnt\fonts folder.


You will need two columns. One will hold the data for the barcodes, the second will hold the barcode. In the second field, enter ="*"&A2&"*", replace A2 in this example with the field where the data is held.

Select the desired Barcode font and size for this Cell (where the barcode is), using the Excel Font and Size selection boxes


Notes: This works for Code 3 of 9 or Code 39 barcodes. It might not work for other types. If you have other barcode fonts that are 3 of 9 or 39, they might work just as well as the one provided.
