9.5.10 Keep Alive

Activation of the Keep Alive feature provides a method to restore communications when a communication failure is
detected. A reset temporarily removes power and resets the local communications equipment powered by this unit.

Figure 45 — Keep Alive Feature

CAUTION!

Enabling the Keep Alive feature will cycle power at the output. Equipment connected to
the UPS will lose power momentarily.
