Using Features and Options

11.1

General

The many standard features of your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system provide
consistent, economical, and dependable power protection. In addition, you can
add available options to enhance the performance of your system. This chapter
provides descriptions of some of the features and options introduced earlier in this
manual. Refer to drawing 164201150−13 in Appendix A for location of the
customer interface panel and for terminal wiring information.
NOTE: Refer to the applicable Powerware® 9315 Operation manual provided with
the UPS for UPS features and options
11.2

Building Alarm Monitoring

This standard feature lets you connect the System Bypass Module (SBM) to your
building alarms, such as smoke detectors or overtemperature alarms. The
terminals for external connections are located inside the SBM on the customer
interface panel.
Regardless of how you assign the building alarms, they display as Building Alarm 1,
Building Alarm 2, Building Alarm 3, etc., on the LCD screen of the Monitor Panel. You
should use twisted pair wires for each alarm input and common.
If the SBM is equipped for a Powerware Sync Control, or Hot-Tie Control, not all
Building Alarms will be available for customer use. See Appendix A, Drawing
164201150−13 for affected areas.
11.3

General Purpose Relay Contacts

Two general purpose relay contacts are provided as a standard feature on the
SBM. The alarm contacts (one notice and one alarm) are located inside the SBM
on the customer interface panel. Refer to drawing 164201150−13 in Appendix A
for location of the customer interface panel and for terminal wiring information.
You can specify that each contact be either normally closed (NC) or normally open
(NO). If the state of the contact changes from the state you specify as normal, an signal
is issued. You can connect these contacts to equipment at your facility (such as a light
or an alarm bell) to let you know when an alarm is active on the SBM. This feature is
useful if the SBM is located in a remote area where the SBM alarm horn may not be
heard immediately.
NOTE: In choosing contacts, note that Relay 1 is normally deenergized and is
only energized for an alarm condition. Relay 2 is normally energized and is
only deenergized for an alarm condition.
