INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM (continued)
7. To always maintain an optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
8. Before storing the UPS for an extended period of time, turn the unit OFF. Then cover it and store it with the
batteries fully charged. Recharge the batteries every three months or so, to ensure good battery capacity and long
battery life; further, this might also prevent damage to the unit from an unlikely battery leakage.
9. The unit provides one serial port and one USB port to allow connection and communications between the UPS and
any attached computer. The primary computer, (the one with PowerPanel® Business Edition S/W installed), is the
computer that you will use to control the UPS and make any changes to its operation. When there is a power failure,
the connected to the USB or Serial Port computer may be "asked" by the UPS for a graceful shutdown following a
possible pre-programmed time period delay indicated within the controlled S/W.
10. EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: Use the provided gray cable to connect to a special EPO contact switch. Follow
the appropriate circuit diagram below to wire the cable to your EPO configuration. The EPO remote switch is a
switch installed in an outside area, connected to the unit via an ordinary RJ-11 phone line. In case of an emergency,
it can be used to immediately cut-off power from the UPS unit.
