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.
