Remote Emergency Power Off Port
The UPS includes an isolated REPO port. When properly wired, the REPO feature allows the
power at the UPS output receptacles to be switched off 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 to its loads. The REPO
switch is used in conjunction with a main disconnect device that removes the AC source from
the input of the UPS. To power down the entire network in the event of an emergency, the
REPO ports of multiple UPS units can be connected to a single switch.

Pressing and holding the On button without utility present would normally initiate a battery start and
the UPS would assume the load. However, if the On button is pressed and a REPO is detected,
battery start is inhibited and the UPS will not be able to assume the load. The electronic module
fans will spin and the Alarm LED and an audible alarm will be active as long as the On button is
held.
