2. Product Introduction
The PSAS400 communication card provides contact closures for remote monitoring of your
UPS. To meet different application requirements the PSAS400 card is capable of selecting the
status of the dry-contact signal (active close or active open) by setting jumper. The suitable
applications are listed below:
IBM Server, Personal PC & Workstations equipments

Auto-controlled industrial equipment & communication applications

3. Installation
Step 1: Remove cover of Intelligent Slot
on the rear panel of the UPS.
Step 3: The cover of PSAS400 should
attach close to the rear panel. Using
