American Power Conversion MX28B2400, MX28B4800 RJ45 Ethernet Connector, Relay Output Connections

The DB9 connector on the top right hand side of the unit, behind a blank panel directly above the controller, uses the special RS-232 cable (APC part number 940-0024C) to allow local access through a Terminal Emulation program like HyperTerminal™ or Procomm™ .

RJ45 Ethernet Connector

The optional management card, which is behind a blank panel directly above the controller, has an RJ-45 connector to support a TCP/IP protocol over a 10BaseT Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).

Relay Output Connections

There are eight alarms available that provide outputs via Form “C” relay contacts. The last two of these are pre-assigned as the Minor and Major relay outputs. The Major relay is energized (NO-C contacts closed) during normal (non-alarm) operating conditions; all the other relays energize when an alarm condition occurs. The other six outputs are initially designated as “Relay 1” through “Relay 6” (the user may assign more meaningful names if desired). The various system alarm conditions can be assigned to any of the eight alarm outputs. There are three sets of Wago connectors on the interface card. Two are for Output Relays and one is for Input Relays. To attach the Output Relay wires, push down on the white spring-loaded lever; Insert the wire and release the lever. Refer to the board layout in Figure 3.9-1 for Output Relay connections. The relay contacts should only be used to switch resistive loads of 0.5 amperes or less at 60 volts or less. The following shows the alarm output connection designations.
