- 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
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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 milliampere 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 mains 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.
Network Management Interface
(For NC models only)
IntroductionThe UPS has a network port and console port that can be used to access the Network Management Interface. Refer to the Network Management Card utility CD supplied with this product.
IP Address ConfigurationThe 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 setup 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 on the Network Management Card Utility CD for user information about the Network Management Interface and for setup instructions.

Smart Battery Management
Definitions
- Battery Module: A string of battery cells arranged to produce a battery assembly with a connector.
- Replaceable Battery Cartridge (RBC): An APC battery cartridge consisting of one battery module. Replacement RBCs can be ordered from the APC by Schneider Electric web site, www.apc.com.
- Smart External Battery Pack (XLBP): An enclosure that contains RBC(s) and battery management electronics.
- User Interface (UI): Any interface by which a user can interact with the system. This may include a UPS display interface, a network management interface or PowerChute™ Network Shutdown software.
NOTE: Do not use a battery that is not APC approved.The system will not detect the presence of a non APC approved battery and may adversely affect the operation of the system.Use of a non APC approved battery will void the manufacturer warranty.
FeaturesSmart Battery Management provides the following features:
- Monitors and informs the user of the health of each RBC.
- Monitors and shows on the UPS Display Interface screen, the date for the end of useful life for each RBC.
- The UPS emits an audible alarm and shows a message on the UPS Display Interface screen to indicate the estimated battery end of life. On the UPS Display Interface screen the user can set the number of days before the audible alarm is heard and the message appears on the UPS Display Interface screen.
- Automatically detects the addition or removal of XLBPs and RBCs.
- Monitors the internal temperature of each XLBP and automatically adjusts the battery charging.
Maintenance
- RBC maintenance: The APC RBC uses sealed, maintenance-free, Valve Regulated Lead-Acid batteries and does not require maintenance.
- Runtime Test (Calibration): This should be performed anytime the steady state load is changed significantly, for example a new server is added to or removed from the UPS load.
- Battery health monitoring: The battery energy output and voltage are monitored to assess the health of the installed batteries when theNote: Continued operation after end of useful life notification may cause damage to the batteries. UPS is operating on battery. Battery health monitoring is done during a UPS Self Test, a Runtime Calibration Test, and when the UPS is operating on battery power. The UPS can be configured to perform periodic, automatic Self Tests.
End of useful life
- Near end of life notification: A message will appear on the UPS display interface screen when each RBC is approaching the end of its useful life. For configuration details refer to Replacement Notification Time and Replacement Battery Alarm Time. The estimated replacement date for each RBC is available through the UI.
- Needs replacement notification: The UPS display interface screen shows when RBC replacement is required. The RBC must be replaced as soon as possible.When an RBC requires replacement, the UPS display interface may recommend that additional RBCs be replaced if they will soon reach the end of their useful life.
Note: Continued operation after end of useful life notification may cause damage to the batteries.Recycling: Remove the RBC from the XLBP. Recycle the RBC. Do not disassemble an RBC.
Replace the RBC in a UPSAn RBC should only be disconnected or removed from the UPS temporarily as part of the battery replacement procedure.
- Disconnect the connected battery module in the UPS. Slide the RBC out of the UPS.
- Slide the new RBC into the UPS and connect the battery module to the UPS.
- Securely connect the battery module. Press the battery connector into the UPS until it is firmly connected. A battery that is not properly connected will cause erratic UPS operation, abnormal alert messages and connected equipment may not receive battery power during power outages.
- After installing the RBC, the UPS display interface may prompt the user to verify the status of the replaced battery module. If the battery module is new, respond YES. If the battery module is not new, respond NO.
Recommended actions after installing new RBC
- Verify that the UPS is connected to input power and the output power is turned on. See “Operation” on page 10 for instructions.
- Perform a UPS Self Test.
- Verify on the UPS display interface that the installation dates for the replaced RBC is set to the current date. The installation dates can be changed manually on the UPS display interface.For configuration details refer to Battery Install Date in the “General settings” on page 15 of this manual.
