2.4 UPS Cable [External Version]

Use this cable to connect Call-

UPS II

to an

APC

Smart-

UPS

, Matrix-

UPS

,

Symmetra Power Array or other

APC

smart device (Share-

UPS

or Triple

Chassis, for example).

2.5 Power Port [External Version]

The external version of Call-

UPS II

has a power port for an optional

power adapter. This adapter is not needed in most situations. Call-

UPS II

normally receives power from the

UPS

through the

UPS

connection cable,

giving Call-

UPS II

protection from poor power conditions. After

UPS

shutdown for low-battery condition, Call-

UPS II

will still draw power

from the

UPS

for a time determined by the size of the load and the capac-

ity of the

UPS

. However, Call-

UPS II

stops drawing power from the

UPS

before the battery is completely drained.

To determine whether a power connector will be useful, refer to the two
paragraphs that follow. You can obtain a power adapter by contacting

APC

technical support at one of the numbers given on the back cover of

this manual. The

APC

part number for the power adapter is

AP9505

.

With Smart-UPS

The optional power adapter is required for some older Smart-

UPS

models

that do not supply power to Call-

UPS II

. To determine whether your

Smart-

UPS

supplies power to Call-

UPS II

, refer to the Smart-

UPS

user

manual. Plug the adapter into a wall receptacle if you want remote turn-
on and turn-off capability; otherwise, plug it into a Smart

-UPS

receptacle.

(Smart-

UPS

models

250

,

370

, and

400

cannot be turned on or off by

remote connection; for these models plug the adapter into a Smart-

UPS

receptacle.)

With Matrix-UPS

You will need the optional power adapter for use with Matrix-

UPS

only

if you want remote turn-on capability. Matrix-

UPS

can be turned off

remotely by Call-

UPS II

, but, without the adapter, Call-

UPS II

will then

lose power. The

UPS

will execute a Graceful Reboot command (item 5 on

the

UPS

Control menu of Call-

UPS II

) without causing Call-

UPS II

to lose

power. Plug the power adapter into a wall receptacle if you want remote
turn-on and turn-off capability. Otherwise, plug it into a Matrix-

UPS

receptacle.
