Communication Connection
Communication Ports:
USB Port
RS-232 Port
Intelligent Slot
To allow for unattended UPS shut down, start, and status monitoring, connect one end of the
communication cable to the USB/RS-232 port and the other end to the communication port on your PC. With
the monitoring software installed, you can schedule your UPS to shut down or start and monitor your UPS
status from your PC.
The UPS is equipped with an intelligent slot for attaching either an SNMP or an AS400 card. When installing
either card in the UPS, it will provide advanced communication and monitoring options.
Making Network Connections
Network, Phone, or Fax Surge Ports
Connect a single modem, phone, or fax line into the surge-protected “IN” outlet on the back panel of the
UPS unit. Connect from the “OUT” outlet to your equipment with another modem, phone, or fax line cable.
Disabling and Enabling the EPO Function
The UPS is equipped with an EPO (emergency power off) function. By default, the UPS is delivered from the
factory with a metal plate connecting Pin 1 and Pin2, which disables the EPO function. To activate the EPO
function, loosen the two screws and remove metal plate from the EPO port.
NOTE:
The EPO function’s logic is set up via LCD settings. For more information, see Program 16 in “UPS
Settings,” on page 22.
Optional Expandable Battery Connection
Connect one end of the external battery cable into your UPS and the other end into the battery box. Use the
following illustration to connect your expandable battery.
CAUTION
: External battery connections must only be performed by qualified service technicians.
ATTENTION
: Les connexions de batterie externes doivent uniquement être effectuées par des
techniciens de maintenance qualifiés.
NOTE

Turning on the UPS
Press the ON/Mute button on the front panel for two seconds to power on your UPS.
