Extension Connector
1. Connect the PowerShield to the application equipment (example: FTTH/P Optical Network
Terminal) via the seven-pin output connector, using the appropriate cable (must be ordered
separately). See www.apc.com
for a list of available output cables.
2. Plug the PowerShield power cord into the utility power cord inlet and then into the wall outlet.
Do not overload the wall outlet or circuit.
Cold Start Feature: Upon installation of a charged battery, power will immediately be applied to
the unit even when utility power is not present.
Optional Runtime Extension
The runtime may be extended by adding the external battery CP20B12BP.

Four beeps in four seconds will be emitted one time only. This alarm will sound
when the utility power is lost and the unit goes on battery power.
Every five minutes, four beeps in four seconds will be emitted. This alarm will
sound when operating on battery and the battery voltage has dropped below
threshold, indicating that less than 20% of available runtime remains.
Every fifteen minutes, there will be a quarter-second beep when the battery fails
the automatic self-test.

Output Power and Communication Signals
The PowerShield communication signals are isolated from its internal circuitry via open collector
opto-coupled transistors. The connection labeled “Signal Return” is a common return point for all
communication signals. In the typical application, the attached equipment digital ground connects to
Signal Return, and pull-up resistors turn the open collector signals into logic levels.
