Communication

￿Industrial Relay Card (IRC) - is used to indicate the operating status of the UPS system using the customer’s monitoring equipment. The IRC uses four isolated normally-open or normally-closed dry relay contacts to indicate the UPS status. Normal, Bypass, Battery, and Alarm mode can be monitored.

￿Single-Port Card - connects to the Powerware Expansion Chassis to enable multiple communication options or to a PC for power management control.

￿ConnectUPS-MX SNMP Card - has Ethernet, modem, and SNMP capabilities.

￿USB Card - connects to a USB port on your computer.
