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 500 VA or
750 VA 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
down last when there is a power outage and battery run-time has been exhausted.
The Main Outlet Group must be turned on for the Switched Outlet Group to turn on.
1. Connect critical equipment to the Main Outlet Group.
2. Connect peripheral equipment to the Switched Outlet Group.
– Nonessential equipment that should shut down quickly in the event of a power outage can be
added to a short power off delay, to conserve battery runtime.
– Equipment that has dependent peripherals that must restart or shut down in a specific order
should be connected to a separate outlet group.
– Equipment that needs to reboot independently from other equipment should be added to a
separate outlet group.
3. Use the Configuration menus to set reaction of the Switched Outlet Group in the event of a
power outage.
