a. If an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than 30VAC,
less than 30VDC, and 8A.
b. If not an Inherently Limited Power Source, voltage and energy are limited to less than
30VAC, less than 60VDC, 250VA, and the current is limited to 1000/Vmax. The fuse is
limited to 5A if less than 20VAC or 20VDC, or 100/ V maximum if less than 30VAC or
60VDC.
If you choose to use a 24VAC, 24 VDC, or contact closure connection to the EPO, use one of the
following UL-listed wire types:
• CL2 Class 2 cable for general purpose use
• CL2P Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other space used for environmental air
• CL2R Riser cable for use in a vertical run shaft from floor to floor
• CL2X Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and for use in a raceway
• For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low-voltage

Load-Meter Screen
From the Load-Meter screen, you can select the following items:
Total Load by Phase The load supported by each phase in kilovolt-amperes (kVA), in
RMS current (Irms), and as a percentage of the maximum allowable
load (%LD).
Total Lo a d S u mmary For the total load supported:
• kW: The power provided, in kilowatts.
• kVA: The actual power drawn by the load, in kilovolt-amperes.
• Freq: The frequency.
• PF: The power factor, which affects the power available to the
load.
• %LD: The load as a percentage of the maximum allowable
load.
Power Factor For each phase:
• kVA: The actual power drawn by the load, in kilovolt-amperes.
• kW: The power, in kilowatts, provided by the phase.
• PF: The power factor (kW/kVA) that affects the power
available to the load.

Contacts Screen
The PDU can monitor external contact closure events. Possible applications include the following:
• Magnetic contact switches
• Window foil
• Tamper switches
• Heat detectors
• Water sensors
• Pressure sensors
• Building smoke and fire detection systems
You can set input contacts to cause alarm conditions based on their current state and a user-defined
normal state. Relay outputs can map internal alarms and events to outside devices.
Use the Contacts screen to display and configure information about input contacts and relay outputs.
The options that you can select from the Contacts screen are as follows:
Input Contacts Scroll through the list to display information about each of the
installed input contacts. For example, 02of04 displays
information about the second of four installed input contacts.
• Name —The name of this contact input (Maximum: 14
alphanumeric characters).
• Normal—The normal position of this input contact, either
Open or Closed.
• Status —The position of this input contact. If the position
is not the normal position, an alarm condition occurs.
Relay Outputs Scroll through the list to display information about each of the
installed relay outputs. For example, 04of04 displays
information about the fourth of the four available relay outputs.
• Name— The name of the relay output (Maximum: 14
alphanumeric characters).
• Normal— The normal position of this relay output, either
Open or Closed.
• Status —The position of this relay output.
See “Relay Outputs” on page 57 for relay output specifications.
