Note
Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch must be connected to a
NEC Class 2 circuit.
Note
Use only 28-16 AWG copper wire for the connection of the
EPO switch and other optional equipment. Keep all other
wiring and uninsulated live parts separate of other NEC Class
2 circuits.
Note
Do not connect any circuits to the EPO terminal block unless it
can be confirmed that the circuit is a NEC Class 2 circuit.
Note
Remove top cable landing covers as described under Battery
Cable Landings, top entry.

Pins 1 to 4 are for battery measurement (only
applicable to APC XR Battery Enclosures).
Pins 5 and 6 are for external maintenance
bypass Q3 (auxiliary switch N/C type).
When Q3 is closed, signals are fed back to the
UPS controller.
Pins 7 and 8 are for external charge control.
When 7 and 8 are closed, the UPS charges
batteries with a pre-defined percentage (0-25-
50-75-100%) of the maximum charging power.
To be used in generator applications, or if
special codes requires control of charging.
When Q3 is closed, signals are fed back to the
UPS controller.
