Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) Cable

This optional 50-foot cable includes the attached matting connector for connection to the UPS. The REPO connector is at the rear of the unit. The factory supplied switch provides a normally open (N.O.) contact rated for 1 Amp at 24 Volts. Pressing the REPO button opens the UPS Output Circuit Breaker and disables battery charging. See the figure below.

NOTES:

Run all customer-supplied control wiring in separate rigid steel conduit from power wiring.

Wire in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

See drawings in Connections for UPS REPO connector location.

Communications Options

The UPS supports the following methods of communication:

SiteNet 1 (automatic, unattended shutdown)

SiteNet 2 (Power Surveillance software)

SiteNet SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

Terminal / Modem Connection

SiteNet 1, SiteNet 2, terminal mode and modem operation require the RS-232 Kit. This kit provides a plug-in communications board that includes relays, serial communications and a DB25 connector for interfacing to the SiteNet software kits.

SiteNet 1 Shutdown Interface Kits

Each option kit includes a 10-foot communication cable with connectors, necessary software for computer interface to the UPS, and separate instructions for installation and operation. A power failure will initiate a pre-programmed timer. Then the software performs an automatic, unattended, orderly shutdown. If the UPS reaches a low battery condition, the software overrides the timer and performs an orderly shut- down. The software runs as a background task on the computer while monitoring the UPS.

SiteNet 2 Power Surveillance

This option includes software to enable UPS monitoring and control from a remote computer or workstation. Contact a Liebert UPS supplier for more details including availability for your computer or workstation

SiteNet SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) The SiteNet SNMP internal agent allows for direct network UPS management in an Ethernet environment. The internally mounted SNMP agent provides true product integration. It draws uninterruptible power from the UPS and eliminates the need for a second UPS for the agent. Remotely configure the agent via BOOTP and TFTP. Configuration and bootstrap are stored in non-volatile memory. The MIB is MIB II compliant. The SNMP option ships with the MIB in DOS and TAR formats complete with a configuration cable.

Terminal/Modem Connection

All information and functions accessed through the control panel are also accessible by a terminal, host computer, or modem through the RS-232 port. You may connect a terminal or computer to the RS-232 port directly or through a modem. The UPS dials out to a selected phone number to report alarm conditions and connects when called from a terminal.

The terminal shows a picture of the LCD display screen. The UPS responds to the left arrow, right arrow, enter, and escape keys on the keyboard just as it would from the UPS control panel. View UPS meters and alarm history, change configuration set- tings, and activate remote start, stop, and transfer (if bypass is available) all from a remote terminal.

Terminal Operation: Connect an ANSI terminal (or a computer with an appropriate terminal emulator program, e.g. ProComm) to the UPS directly or through a modem connection. See Cables for connection details.

Set up the computer terminal as follows:

Baud rate: 2400

Data bits: 8

Stop bits: 1

Parity: none

Full duplex

 

The RS-232 interface can operate in terminal mode which shows the LCD display on the screen, or ESP mode which only qualified service personnel use. To use terminal mode, press the space bar. The LCD display appears on the screen and the left arrow, right arrow, enter, and escape keys become operable. If the LCD display does not appear, the RS-232 may be in ESP mode. Type EXIT to return the RS-232 to terminal mode.

The UPS responds to requests such as viewing UPS meters or alarm history. Some configuration selections (other than voltage or frequency) can be changed during UPS operation. Use the configuration screens UPS ON(1)/OFF(0) and Transfer UPS to remotely turn the UPS ON or OFF, or make transfers (if bypass is available).

Modem Operation: Connect the UPS to a remote computer terminal through a modem link (one modem at each end). See Cables for connection details. The UPS automatically tests for a modem every three minutes, when the communication channel is idle.
