1-10 Compaq 1000 Series UPS Operation and Reference Guide
Network Transient Protector
The 1000 Series tower UPS models include a Network Transient Protector that
provides protection for communications equipment (such as network devices,
a fax machine, or a modem) from surges.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the equipment, do not connect the Network
Transient Protector to a digital PBX line. Connect either to an analog phone line
or to a network.
Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) Port
The 1000 Series rack-mountable UPS models include a Remote Emergency
Power Off (REPO) port. The REPO feature allows the UPS to be shut down
from a remote location. To use this feature, the REPO port must be connected
to a remote, normally open switch (not supplied). When this switch is closed,
the UPS immediately disconnects power from its load segments.
To shut down the entire network in the event of an emergency, the REPO ports
of multiple UPS units can be connected to a single switch.
IMPORTANT: The REPO port meets the requirements of NFPA Articles 645-10 and
645-11 for a Disconnecting Means.
IMPORTANT:
■ If the remote switch is closed, the REPO feature shuts down protected devices
immediately and does not utilize the orderly shutdown procedure initiated by
Compaq Power Management Software.
■ The REPO feature shuts down UPS units operating under either utility or
battery power.
■ If the UPS was operating on battery power when the remote switch was closed, no
power will be available to the devices until utility power is restored.
