8.2 EPO and Remote Shutdown
EPO (Emergency Power Off): TB1-14, -15
The EPO is a NO (Normally Open) dry contact switch. When the EPO is closed, the Input circuit break-
er to the UPS opens and all power to the unit is removed, including backup power from the batteries.
Remote Shutdown: TB1-16, -17
The Remote Shutdown is a NO (Normally Open) dry contact switch. When the Remote Shutdown
switch is closed, the UPS transfers from Normal/Backup to Bypass after a 1-2 sec. detection delay.
(See the diagram below)
When the closed Remote Shutdown switch is opened, the UPS transfers from Bypass back to it’s initial
state (Normal/Backup) after a 1-2 sec. detection delay.
If the UPS is in bypass when the Remote Shutdown is closed, no action is taken.
8.3 Cable Size and Tightening Torque
Use the following table to select the recommended wire size and terminal lug tightening torque for I/O

Note: Wire size is presented as the recommended size followed by a bold number in () indicating the maximum wire
size the terminal block can accommodate. See Appendix C for knock-out hole sizes on the back of each model.
8.4 Battery Cabinet Connections
Optional external battery cabinets can be used to extend the backup time of the UPS beyond that
available with the internal batteries. The external battery cabinets connect to the UPS via Anderson-
style connectors. See Section 20.
