4.6 Shutting Down the UPS Completely
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Disconnect all local and remote electric power
supplies before working with the UPS. Ensure that the unit is shut down and power has been disconnected
before beginning any maintenance.
For 5 kVA to 10 kVA models, transfer to Bypass mode, see Transferring from Normal to Bypass Mode above. Then,
if power to the load is not needed, open the input circuit breaker.
For systems with direct power distribution, isolate the UPS from AC power by disconnecting the external input circuit breaker.
If the main and bypass are independently powered, open the two input circuit breakers.
4.7 Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO)
REPO turns off the UPS in emergency conditions such as fire or flood. When an emergency occurs, the REPO switch turns off
the rectifier and inverter and stops powering the load immediately. The battery stops charging and discharging.
To manually power off in an emergency, disconnect the terminal connecting the REPO port on the rear of the UPS.
