Installation

❑ Switch off the Paragon UPS using the “on/off” button located on the front panel of the unit (see the

Paragon Series User Manual).

❑ Disconnect from the power supply.
❑ Unscrew the communication card cover at the rear of the unit.
❑ The default pin settings can be modified (optional pinout configuration procedure):

- pin 2: used for the “replace battery” signal in the default configuration, but can be reconfigured for the
“emergency off” command.

- pin 5: provides a common electrical reference for all signals. Connected to 0-volts in the default
configuration but can be reconfigured for volt-free contacts.
(See “configuring pins 2 and 3” below for further information on modifying the default configuration.)

- Insert the status information card.

- Secure the card with the screws.

Functions

This relay card provides you with a simple means of transmitting data to a management system, a PLC, or a
computer system, using a 9-pin connector with the following pinout:

❑ Pin 1: chassis ground.
❑ Pin 2: contact closed when the battery must be

replaced.

A battery test is performed when the UPS is first powered on,
then again weekly (adjustable with UPS Driver). If a battery fault
is detected, the contact closes.

❑ Pin 4: contact open when operating on battery supply.
❑ Pin 5: common electrical reference for all signals (0V).
❑ Pin 6: contact closed when operating on automatic bypass.
❑ Pin 7: contact closed when a “low battery” warning is received.
❑ Pin 8: contact closed when your application is powered via a UPS.
❑ Pin 9: contact closed when operating on battery supply.
