Installing the remote emergency power-off
The uninterruptible power supply includes a remote emergency power-off connector
that enables you to turn off power at the uninterruptible power supply output
receptacles from a customer-supplied switch in a remote location. For example, you
can use this feature to shut down the load and the uninterruptible power supply by
thermal relay, in the event of a room overtemperature condition. When a remote
emergency power-off is activated, the uninterruptible power supply shuts down the
output and all its power converters immediately. The uninterruptible power supply
logic power remains on to issue an alarm.
The remote emergency power-off feature shuts down the connected devices
immediately and does not follow the orderly shutdown procedure that is initiated by
any power-management software.
Any devices that are operating on battery power are also shut down immediately.
When the remote emergency power-off switch is reset, the connected devices do
not return to battery power until the uninterruptible power supply is restarted
manually.
