Configuration Cables
Configuration cables are necessary for paralleling. They provide the following features:
• Synchronized start up, shut down, and fault recovery
• Digital communication for load sharing
• Up to 32 units in parallel.
The table below lists configuration cables for systems of 2‑5 units. Contact the factory for
configuration cables that support more than five units in parallel.

On/Off control – Parallel Systems
When several units are connected in parallel, any “on” front panel switch actuation will cause
all outputs to turn on at once. In addition, the “remote‑on” rear panel signal can be used for a
coordinated start. Any “off” front panel switch actuation will cause that specific unit be turned
off. All other units will continue to deliver power, assuming the load can be supported with one
less unit. In addition, the “remote‑on” or “remote‑off” rear panel signal inputs may be utilized
to enable and disable one specific unit.
For coordinated shutdown, the user must send “SYSTEM DISABLE” over RS‑232. See Section V of
the Owner’s guide for details on the RS‑232 interface. See the UPS User Commands document
for more information on the “SYSTEM DISABLE” command.
