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

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
