2.3 Communication Port and PP Contact Card Explanation

The communication port on the rear panel of the UPS is a true RS232 serial
type. It may be connected to a computer and allows the computer to monitor
the status of UPS, and control the operation of the UPS, via the Power
Monitoring software. The Power Monitoring Software is for the Windows
environment, such as Windows 3.1, Windows 95 & 98, Windows NT. For
other applications, such as Novell NetWare, Unix, etc., please contact your
local distributor for a proper solution.

Chapter Three: Installation and Operation
The packing condition and the external outlook of the unit should be
inspected carefully before installation. Retain the packing material for
future use.

3.1. Unpacking

1. Take the UPS out of the PE foam.

a. Use the appropriate number of personnel when unpacking and
lifting the unit.
b. The plastic bag holding the UPS is very slippery so be careful in
unpacking and handling the unit.
3. Standard Package includes:
a. User's Manual
b. Quick Install Instructions
c. Input Power Cord
d. IEC output cables (for the 230V models with IEC receptacles)
e. RJ11 Phone Cable
f. Power Monitoring Software Kit (Includes RS232 Cable)

3.2. Selecting Installation Position

The CPE On-Line Series is intended to be install in a temperature controlled
environment that is free of conductive contaminants. Select a location, which
will provide good air circulation for the UPS. Avoid locations near heating
devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the UPS is exposed to direct
sunlight. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.
