6. Available options

Backfeed option

This option opens the Bypass AC input or the Normal AC input if power fails. This option is mandatory to meet standard IEC 62040-1-2.

If an external backfeed protection system is used, it must comply with the requirements indicated in Annex L of standard IEC 62040-1-2.

NMC (Network Management Card) option

This option is a communications card for supervision and protection of a three-phase device. Each UPS can be equipped with a maximum of four NMC communications cards.

Optional communications card with additional power relay

The UPS is already equipped with a relay communications card. But it is possible, with this option, to add another card with programmable power-relay functions.

Optional serial communications card

This option is an RS232 or RS485 serial communications card operating under the JBUS protocol.

Telpac Power Services option

This option consists of a communications card operating under the JBUS protocol for Teleservice functions.

AS4I option

This option consists of a low-power relay card for shut-off and scheduling functions.

Multislot option

This option consists of communications cards to concentrate the communication of two parallel-connected UPSs.

External synchronisation module option

With this option, a SYNIN communications card and two circuit breakers are added to each UPS unit. The external synchronisation module issues a reference frequency used to synchronise the UPS units. For more information, see document no. 34000346.

Check the different input/output signal levels (LV, ELV, SELV) on the optional communication cards (4) and use appropriate wiring.

IP32 option

This option protects the UPS against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm and falling drops of water from up to 15° from vertical. For roof installation, See “IP32 installation”, page 67.
