4.3 Protection Strategies

This UPS provides high performance power line protection to the loads. There are, however, other potential

entry points for damaging surges in information systems. These include serial ports (RS-232, RS-422, RS-

485, etc.), parallel ports, telephone lines, and LAN connections. These other entry points must be consid-

ered in developing a comprehensive protection strategy for your system. Contact your dealer or call the

number in the front of this manual for information on related products designed to accomplish total system

protection.

Sensitive information systems can be further safeguarded by following these guidelines:

Verify that all electrical outlets are properly grounded. See section 4.9.

Connect computer leads to a different electrical service branch than heavy motor loads like air condi-

tioners, copiers, refrigerators, and heavy industrial machinery.

Plug all power protection and computer equipment into outlets connected to the same service branch

(controlled by the same fuse or circuit breaker) where possible.

4.4 Connect Computer Interface (Optional)

Power management software and interface kits can be used with this UPS. Use only kits supplied or ap-

proved by the manufacturer. If used, connect the interface cable to the 9-pin computer interface port on the

back panel of the UPS. Secure the connector’s screws to complete the connection.

Note:Note:

Note: Computer interface connection is optional. The UPS works properly without a computer interface

connection.

4.5 Connect Telephone/Network Surge Suppression (Optional)

sockets on the back of the UPS. The RJ-45/RJ-11 modular combination sockets accept all standard single

line telephone and 10Base-T connections. This connection will require another length of telephone cable

(supplied) or network cabling (not supplied) to complete the connection.

Note:Note:
