Connect an Emergency Power Off Switch
Overview
To provide a mechanism for
emergency power off, attach a
remote switch (not included) to the EPO interface on the PDU
monitoring unit. The EPO interface () is connected to the
PDU Main Input switch () and to the UPS internal EPO switch
().
When the EPO is activated, the
main input breaker to the PDU transformer is opened, the UPS
DC Disconnect breaker is opened,
and the UPS System Enable switch is turned off. In this sequence, there is no power from the PDU transformer and there is no power from the UPS inverters and batteries.
Note: Contact closure is recommended.
