Dry contact port
CAUTION: Before using the dry contact port, the following cautions must be observed:
• The relay output contacts cannot be connected to any utility circuits.
• Reinforced insulation to the utility is required.
• The relay output contacts have a maximum rating of 250VAC/5A.
The UPS has four relay outputs. Each relay output is available with either an open or closed contact.

ROO allows remote action of the power button to switch the UPS on and off.
• When the contact changes from open to closed, the UPS is switched-on (or stays On).
• When the contact changes from closed to open, the UPS is powered off (or stays Off).
Figure 3: This figure displays a normally open contact.
NOTE: The on/off control using the power button has priority over the remote control.
RPO port
RPO is used to shut down the UPS remotely. This feature is primarily used for remotely powering down
the UPS if there is an emergency. When RPO is activated, the UPS shuts down the output and all its
power converters immediately. The UPS remains on to alarm the fault.
The RPO circuit is an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. This circuit must be separated
from any hazardous voltage circuits by reinforced insulation. The RPO must also meet the following
requirements:
• The RPO cannot be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation to the utility is
required. The RPO switch must have a minimum rating of 27 Vdc and 20 mA and be a dedicated
latching-type switch not tied into any other circuit. The RPO signal must remain active for at least 250
ms for proper operation.
• To ensure that the UPS stops supplying power to the load during any mode of operation, the input
power must be disconnected from the UPS when the RPO function is activated.
10 Component identification
NOTE: Leave the RPO connector installed in the RPO port on the UPS even if the RPO function is not
needed.
The following images illustrate the RPO connections.

Installation
Precautions
Save these instructions. This document contains important safety instructions that must be followed
during installation, operation, and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
WARNING: A risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels exists. The
installation of options and routine maintenance and service of this product must be performed by
individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with
AC power products.

This symbol indicates that the UPS exceeds the recommended weight for one
individual to handle safely.
This symbol indicates that the ERM exceeds the recommended weight for one
individual to handle safely.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe local
occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury from earth conductor leakage current:
• Do not operate the UPS while disconnected from the utility power source.
• Disconnect load devices before disconnecting the UPS from the utility power source.
Preparing to install the hardware
Before installing the hardware:
1. Be sure the necessary tools and materials are available.
2. Select an installation site.
3. Prepare the equipment for installation in the rack.
Tools and materials
The following tools are required for installation:
Phillips screwdriver
The following items are supplied with the UPS:
12 Installation
• Screws
• Washers
Selecting a site
WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock, install the unit in a temperature- and humidity-
controlled indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants.
When selecting a site, consider the following factors:
• Elevated operating ambient temperature—If the equipment is installed in a closed or multiunit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room
ambient temperature. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the operating
temperature. For more information, see Environmental specifications.
• Reduced air flow—In the rack, the rate of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment must
not be compromised.
• Circuit overloading—Consideration must be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings must be used when addressing this
concern.
• Reliable earthing—Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment must be maintained. Particular
attention must be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such
as the use of power strips.
• Electrical requirements—All models require a dedicated (unshared) branch circuit, suitably rated for
the specific UPS as stated in the
Preparing the equipment
Procedure
1. Check the battery recharge date specified on the label that is affixed to the shipping carton.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the battery if the recharge date has passed. If the date on the battery
recharge date label has passed without the battery being recharged, contact an HPE authorized
service representative for directions.
2. Transport the packaged unit to its installation location.
3. Unpack the equipment near the rack where the unit will be assembled.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the
rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
