The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment should not be discarded together with unseparated household waste, but must be collected separately. The product should be handed in for recycling in accordance with the local environmental regulations for waste disposal. By separating waste electrical and electronic equipment , you will help reduce the volume of waste sent for incineration or land-fills and minimize any potential negative impact on human health and environment.

Note: Segment 7 (PIN14 & PIN1 / USER SW2) is fixed to UPS On function. Segment 8 (PIN7 & PIN1 / USER SW3) is fixed to UPS Off function. (Refer to Dry contact Function Section at next page of this document) We Suggest User do not push down USER SW2 and SW3 at the same time.
If user pushes down USER SW2, AS400 Card will send a UPS On command to UPS. If user pushes down USER SW3, AS400 Card will send a UPS Off command to UPS. If USER SW2 and SW3 pushed down at the same time, AS400 Card will first send UPS On command to UPS, then send UPS Off command to UPS. And the UPS always follow the last command.

Configuring the Card Introduction
1. General
This document specifies the Serial communication protocol of the Dry contact Management Card. The card provided the following features.
(1) Get UPS internal information by SCI protocol (2) Bridge communication data between PC and ups (3) Configure five output relay signal (4) Configure one input signal for shutdown ups or remote on/off (5) Configure Dry contact normal open and normal close status (6) Configure Dry contact function definition (7) Configure Dry contact active delay time

2. Definitions
2.1. Common items (1) Computer (Software) has Initiative for communicate by this protocol. Computer will send command ended with . Dry contact Management Card will respond the information of ended with Note : means ASCII code “Carriage Return” (HEX-code 0D). (2) All the information is provided in ASCII format. (3) Communication start timing Dry contact Management Card should be received the command from PC, and send the right response to PC.

2.2. Serial Data format Dry contact Management Card data will be provided at 2400 baud rate and consist of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

BAUD RATE: 2400 band

3. Installing
3.1. Installing the Card The Dry contact Management Card can be installed in UPS equipped with a communication bay without turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load. To install the Dry contact Management Card: 1. Remove the communication bay cover from the UPS. Retain the screws. 2. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), place one hand on a metal surface. 3. Slide the card into the open slot and secure with the screws removed in Step 1
Figure4. Installing the Card 3.2.Connecting the Card
To connect the card to the computer and start the configuration: 1. Plug the RJ-45 end of the supplied serial cable into the Settings port on the card 2. Plug the other end of the serial cable into the serial COM port on the computer.
Figure5. Connecting the Card 8

3.3.Configuring the Card To configure the card: 1. Verify that the serial cable (supplied) is connected to the card’s Settings port and the computer’s COM port. 2. Open your terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal). a. StartAll ProgramsAccessoriesCommunicationsHyper Terminal
Or type HYPERTRM in Windows OS Run Dialog
b. Name the new connection
