6 Smart-UPS RT 2400/3000 VA Tower/Rack-Mount UPS User Manual
Installation
If Required, Connect the Emergency Power Off (EPO) Feature
The EPO interface is a safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect it only to other SELV circuits.
To avoid damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a closure type
circuit, properly isolated from the utility.
The EPO feature provides immediate de-energizing of the UPS and connected equipment from a remote
location, without switching to battery operation.
1. Use one of the following cable types to connect the UPS to the EPO switch.
– CL2: Class 2 cable for general use.
– CL2P: Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air.
– CL2R: Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a floor-to-floor shaft.
– CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways.
– For installation in Canada: Use only CSA certified, type ELC (extra-low voltage control cable).
– For installation in other countries: Use standard low-voltage cable in accordance with national and
local regulations.
2. Locate the EPO connector on the rear of the UPS. Use a normally-open contact to connect cable to each
EPO terminal.

hours. Do not expect full battery run capability from a new battery or after On Battery operation until the
battery recharges.
To use the UPS as a master ON/OFF switch, ensure all connected equipment is switched on. The equipment
will not be powered until the UPS is turned on.
