3. Contact Signal Interface Card Installation
Follow steps (1) through (6) to install the Contact Signal Interface Card.
Caution:
• If the device is shipped with the Contact Signal Interface Card preinstalled,
proceed from step (5).
(1) Preparation
The Contact Signal Interface Card should be installed only after the UPS has been
shut down completely. If the UPS is in operation, follow the instructions of “Operation
Shutdown (If UPS is not to be used for a week or more)” in the UPS Instruction
Manual, and shut down the UPS completely.
！
CAUTION
(2) Remove the protective cover
Remove the cover from the rear panel of the UPS.
① Remove the screws from both locations, and then the cover from the UPS.
Note that one of the screws will be used for securing the Contact Signal Interface
Card.
Note: The protective cover will not be used after inserting the card, but should
be stored in a safe place in case of future need.
Before installing the Contact Signal Interface Card, the UPS
must be completely shut down. Inserting the card when the
UPS is not shut down completely may result in electric shock.

signal cable
Use the special signal cable to connect the “CONTACTS SIGNAL” TERMINAL
BLOCKS of the Contact Signal Interface Card to the computer.
When the UPS is E11A series, Installation of the Contact Signal
Interface Card and the UPS setting procedures are now complete.
Start the UPS according to the procedures in the UPS Instruction Manual.
Even if interface setteing of E11A is set to “Workstation mode” or to
“Standalone mode”, UPS works.
In addition, you cannot use the Contact Signal Interface Card and the LAN
Interface Card at the same time.
In the case of E11A, only TYPE C can be connected to this CARD.

4. UPS Settings（A11F series）
There are two communication mode settings for the UPS.
• Standalone mode
• W/S mode (Workstation mode)
Set the UPS to Standalone mode when using this Card.
Follow the procedures described on pages 6～7 to verify and change the UPS
mode settings.
Note that if the card was factory preinstalled, this step is unnecessary.
Caution:
If the UPS is set to W/S mode, the Interface Card cannot be used.
Also, this card cannot be used with power control software (SANUPS SOFTWARE)
that requires a PC I/F connector for serial connection. If PC shutdown capability is
required while using this Card, the communication settings in the power control
software must be set to “Contact Connection”.

Mode verification and setting modification
(1) Start the UPS
Operating mode verification and setting changes are done using the operating unit
and the display of the UPS front panel. Begin by starting the UPS.
Follow the procedures for startup operation as described in the UPS Instruction
Manual.
Caution:
When the UPS starts, power will be supplied from the outlet.
It is recommended to disconnect the load devices before starting the UPS.

6. Special Functions
The AC output signal is capable of sending a ring signal* (depending on the
computer type, this may be called a “modem signal”). To use the ring signal, this
setting should be modified as described below. After changing the settings, the
UPS must be completely stopped and then restarted for the setting to take effect.
E11A (TYPE C):
• Modify the settings according to the procedures in the UPS User Settings
Guide.
A11F102,A11F152:
• Modify the settings according to the procedures in the UPS Instruction
Manual.
Caution:
If the AC output signal is used as is, the following settings are necessary:
E11A (TYPE C):
• Set the " Setting a Ring Signal" of the UPS User Settings Guide to “Do
not output”
A11F102, A11F152:
• Set the " Setting the automatic start of the computer” to “Do not start”.

*What is a ring signal?
A ring signal is a false modem signal sent to the computer’s serial port. When
the computer receives this signal, it automatically boots up. The serial port and
the motherboard of the computer must support the ring signal feature in order
to use this function.
