The PC-mode always turns the output off for at least 5s after a buffer event lasting longer than 1s, independent of
whether the 24V may have recovered during this time. This function ensures that the PC gets a restart signal. To
enable a safe shut-down of the system, the forced turn off of the output is delayed with a constant time of 70s.
To activate the PC-mode, connect the two pins marked with “PC-mode” together on the signal connector together.
If the reset is to be controlled by the PC and not the DC-UPS, a wiring option called “external controlled delayed shut-
down” is available. See section 23.8 for details.

Example A:
The buffer event is longer than 1s
and ends before the buffer capacitors
are fully discharged.
After 70s of the beginning of the
buffer event, the output of the DC-
UPS will be switched off for 5s.

Example B:
The buffer event lasts longer than the
buffer capacitors can supply the
output.
The buffer capacitors are fully
discharged before the input voltage
recovers.
The DC-UPS output will turn-on
earliest 5s after the power supply
output voltage has recovered.
