Main Outlet Group and Switched Outlet Group

Overview

The Main Outlet Group and the Switched Outlet Group can be configured to independently turn off, turn on, shut down, and reboot connected equipment. (These features are not available on the 750 VA tower units.)

The Main and Switched Outlet Groups can be configured to do the following:

  • Turn off: Disconnect from power immediately and restart only with a manual command.
  • Turn on: Connect to power immediately.
  • Shutdown: Disconnect power in sequence, and automatically reapply power in sequence when utility power becomes available.
  • Reboot: Shut down and restart.

In addition, the Main Outlet Group and the Switched Outlet Group can be configured to do the following:

  • Turn on or off in a specified sequence
  • Automatically turn off or shut down when various conditions occur

Note: If the Main and Switched Outlet Groups are not configured, all of the outlets on the unit will still provide battery back-up power.

Using the Main and Switched Outlet Groups

The Main Outlet Group functions as a master switch. It will turn on first when power is applied, and shut off last when there is a power outage and battery runtime has been exhausted.

The Main Outlet Group must be turned on for the Switched Outlet Group to turn on.

  1. Connect essential equipment to the Main Outlet Group.
  2. Connect peripheral equipment to the Switched Outlet Group.
    • Nonessential equipment that should shut off quickly in the event of a power outage to conserve battery runtime can be added to a short power off delay
    • If equipment has dependent peripherals that must restart or shut down in a specific order, such as an ethernet switch that must restart before a connected server, connect the devices to separate groups
    • Equipment that needs to reboot independently from other equipment should be added to a separate group
  3. Use the Configuration menus to configure how the Switched Outlet Group will react in the event of a power outage.

Customize the Main and Switched Outlet Groups

Use the Control menus to change the Main Outlet Group and the Switched Outlet Group settings.

Emergency Power Off

EPO Overview

The Emergency Power Off (EPO) option is a feature that will immediately disconnect all connected equipment from utility power. The UPS will immediately shut down and will not switch to battery power.

The UPS should be manually restarted to reapply power to connected equipment. Press ON/OFF on the front panel of the unit.

CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

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

Failure to follow these instructions could 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: The power for operating the EPO circuit is sourced from pin 1. This is an isolated 24 V which can source only a few milliamperes.

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 utility 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 for 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 in accordance with national and local regulations.
