8-1 Network Card

The UPS system includes an internal network card that provides an Ethernet interface for remote monitoring and control of the UPS system. Refer to the network card documentation for additional information. Note: The network card must be removed in order to use the UPS system’s RS-232 port.

Shorting the EPO terminals activates the EPO (emergency power off) function, which provides emergency shutdown of the UPS system.

Use the included RS-232 (DB9) serial cable to connect the UPS system’s RS-232 serial port to a computer’s RS-232 serial port. Install the included software on the computer in order to monitor and control the UPS system. (See the software documentation for system requirements, installation instructions and additional information.)
