Emergency Power-off
EPO is used to shut down the UPS from a distance. This feature can be used for shutting down the load and the UPS by thermal relay, for instance in the event of room over temperature. When EPO is activated, the UPS shuts down the output and all its power converters immediately. The UPS remains on to alarm the fault.
There is also a front panel EPO option for user to initial EPO function by pressing the three switches on the front panel together. When the three switches are pressed down at the same time, the EPO function will be active, UPS will shut down and the buzzer will long beep. Pressing startup switches will not turn on the UPS. By pressing the three switches together and also pressing the off switches the UPS will return to normal status and the EPO function will be deactivated.
WARNING
The EPO circuit is an IEC 60950 safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. This circuit must be separated from any hazardous voltage circuits by reinforced insulation.
Page 34
34
CAUTION
The EPO must not be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced
insulation to the utility is required. The EPO switch must have a minimum rating of 24 Vdc and 20 mA and be a dedicated latching-type switch not tied into another circuit. The EPO signal must remain active for at least 250 ms for proper operation.
To ensure the UPS stops supplying power to the load during any mode of
operation, the input power must be disconnected from the UPS when the emergency power-off function is activated.
NOTE For Europe, the emergency switch requirements are detailed in Harmonized document HD-384-48 S1, Electrical Installation of the Buildings, Part 4: Protection for Safety Chapter 46: Isolation and Switching.

6 UPS Maintenance
This section explains how to:
Care for the UPS and batteries Replace Extended Battery Packs (EBPs) Test new batteries
Recycle used batteries or UPS
UPS and Battery Care
For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS clean and dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner. For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
NOTE The batteries in the UPS are rated for a 3–5 year service life. The length of service life varies, depending on the frequency of usage and ambient temperature. Batteries used beyond expected service life will often have severely reduced runtimes. Replace batteries at least every 5 years to keep units running at peak efficiency.
Storing the UPS and Batteries
If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by connecting the UPS to utility power. The internal batteries charge to 80% capacity in less than 5 hours. However, we recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term storage.. Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the date is expired and the batteries were never recharged, do not use the UPS. Contact your service representative.
