Communications Communications Ports (USB or RS-232): These ports connect your UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and included cables to enable your computer to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout.

Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port's pin assignments are shown in the diagram. If the UPS battery is low, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 1 and 5. If utility power fails, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins 8 and 5. To shut the UPS down remotely, short pin 3~pin 9 for at least 3.8 seconds. EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: Your UPS features a EPO port that may be used to connect the UPS to a contact closure switch to enable emergency inverter shutdown.
