    • To configure Sleep mode use an external interface, such as the Network Management Web interface.
  • Automatically turn off or shut down when certain conditions occur, based on user configurations set using the Config Menu Outlets menus. Refer to “Configuration” on page 11

Connect controllable outlet groups

  • Connect critical equipment to one controllable outlet group.
  • Connect peripheral equipment to the other controllable outlet groups.
    • To conserve battery runtime during a power outage, nonessential equipment can be configured to shut down. Use Loadshed Time on Battery Enable/Disable and Loadshed Time on Battery Setting defined in the General Settings section. Refer to “General settings” on page 12.
    • If equipment has dependent peripherals that must restart or shut down in a specific sequence, such as an Ethernet switch that must restart before a connected server can be restarted, connect the devices to different outlet groups. Each controllable outlet group can be configured independently of the other groups.
  • Use the Configuration menus to configure how the controllable outlet groups will react in the event of a power outage.

Emergency Power Off

Overview

  • The Emergency Power Off (EPO) option is a feature that will immediately disconnect all connected equipment from mains power. The UPS will immediately shut down and will not switch to battery power.
  • Connect each UPS to the EPO switch. If multiple units are to be controlled with an EPO switch, each UPS must be connected separately to the EPO switch.
  • The UPS must be restarted for power to return to connected equipment. Press the ON/OFF button on the front panel of the UPS.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

  • Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
  • Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
  • Always connect the UPS to a grounded outlet.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury.

Normally open contacts

  1. If the EPO switch or relay contacts are normally open, insert the wires from the switch or contacts at pins 1 and 2 of the EPO terminal block. Use 16-28 AWG wire.
  2. Secure the wires by tightening the screws.

If the contacts are closed, the UPS will turn OFF and power will be removed from the load.

Normally closed contacts

  1. If the EPO switch or relay contacts are normally closed, insert the wires from the switch or contacts at pins 2 and 3 of the EPO terminal block. Use 16-28 AWG wire.
  2. Insert a wire jumper between pins 1 and 2. Secure the wires by tightening the three screws at positions 1, 2, and 3.
  • If the contacts are opened, the UPS will turn OFF and power will be removed from the load.
    • Note: Pin 1 is the power source for the EPO circuit, it provides a few milliamperes of 24 V power.
  • If the normally closed (NC) EPO configuration is used, the EPO switch or relay should be rated for “dry” circuit applications, the rating should be for low voltage and low current applications. This normally implies the contacts are gold-plated.
  • The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect the EPO interface only to other SELV circuits. The EPO interface monitors circuits that have no determined voltage potential. SELV circuits are controlled by a switch or relay properly isolated from the main power. To avoid damage to the UPS, do not
  • connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a SELV circuit.

Use one of the following cable types to connect the UPS to the EPO switch.

  • CL2: Class 2 cable for general use.
  • CL2P: Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air.
  • CL2R: Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a floor-to-floor shaft.
  • CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and use in raceways.
  • Installation in Canada: Use only CSA certified, type ELC, (extra low voltage control cable).
  • Installation in countries other than Canada and the USA: Use standard low-voltage cable by national and local regulations.

Network Management Interface

(For NC models only)

Introduction

The UPS has a network port and console port that can be used to access the Network Management Interface. Refer to the Network Management Card installation manual supplied with this product.

IP Address Configuration
  • The default TCP/IP configuration setting DHCP, assumes that a properly configured DHCP server is available to provide TCP/IP settings to the Network Management Interface.
  • If the Network Management Interface obtains an IPv4 address from a DHCP server, use the display interface menus About/Accessory, to see the address.
  • To set up a static IPv4 address use the display interface Config menu. Set the IP address Subnet Mask and Gateway from the Config menu.
  • See the User’s Guide for information about the Network Management Interface and setup instructions.
