Installation
Enclosure Installation
Install the enclosure in a protected area that is free of excessive dust and
has adequate airflow.
Do not operate the PowerShield where the temperature and humidity are outside
the specified limits. See Specifications.
4 Use screws that are appropriate for the weight of this unit and the mounting surface material. See Specifications.
Battery Installation
Connect Equipment and Power
The PowerShield battery charges when it is connected to utility power. The
battery charges fully during the first eight hours of normal operation. Do not
expect full battery run capability during this initial charge period.
- Connect the PowerShield to the application equipment (example: FTTH/P Optical Network Terminal) via the seven-pin output connector, using the appropriate cable (must be ordered separately). See www.apc.com for a list of available output cables.
- Plug the PowerShield power cord into the utility power cord inlet and then into the wall outlet. Do not overload the wall outlet or circuit.
Cold Start Feature: Upon installation of a charged battery, power will immediately be applied to the unit even when utility power is not present.
Optional Runtime Extension
The runtime may be extended by adding the external battery CP20B12BP.

alarm will sound when the utility power is lost and the unit goes on battery
power.
Low Battery Voltage| Every five minutes, four beeps in four seconds will be
emitted. This alarm will sound when operating on battery and the battery
voltage has dropped below threshold, indicating that less than 20% of
available runtime remains.
Replace Battery| Every fifteen minutes, there will be a quarter-second beep
when the battery fails the automatic self-test.

Output Power and Communication Signals
The PowerShield communication signals are isolated from its internal circuitry
via open collector opto-coupled transistors. The connection labeled ìSignal
Returnî is a common return point for all communication signals. In the typical
application, the attached equipment digital ground connects to Signal Return,
and pull-up resistors turn the open collector signals into logic levels.
