two-wire cable to an EPO switch, and then short pin1 to pin2 for
approximately 1.0-second to shutdown the UPS in the AC or the Battery
mode. The LCD display will display EPO and Line OFF every 6-seconds. The
UPS must be turned off and then turned back on again to restart the UPS.
Connecting to the EPO port is optional the UPS system operates properly
without this connection.

The optional interfaces cards are ED6/10KVA Programmable Relay Card (Dry
Contact Relay) and the SNMP card. When the option cards are used in
conjunction with RS232 communications port on the rear panel, the shutdown
command from the EPO port will get the highest priority for the control
command, then the RS232 port, then the SNMP card, and then the
ED6/10KVA Programmable Relay card gets the lowest priority. Also there is
ENV PROBE for environmental monitoring.
