44 1600XPi Series UPS Installation and Operation Manual – 60616-014
18 Communication Interfaces
18.1 Remote Contacts
The remote contacts interface is provided as a set of solid state switching devices. The switches are available through a
DB9 male connector on the rear of the UPS. The following chart shows the pin assignment for each signal.

Pin Signal Function Logic In the UPS
1 Fault Signal
Closed when fault detected (See
Section 24.3 for list of applicable
faults)
2 UPS stop common
Backup stop when +3 to +15 V
applied between pins 2 and 3.
1
3 UPS stop signal input
4 Normal input power supply Closed with normal supply power
5 Signal common Common signal return
6 Bypass operation Closed during bypass operation
7 Battery voltage drop
If UPS detects battery voltage
less than Low Battery Threshold
(Parameter 547), UPS will output
logic high to pin
8 UPS operation Closed during inverter operation
9 Power failure signal Closed at power failure
NOTE: Pin switches are shown in their inactive states. For example, if battery voltage is low, pin 7 will be connected to pin 5.
1: When not applying +3 to +15V, the voltage supplied to pins 2 and 3 should be reverse biased (-3 to -15V) to avoid
unintentional closure due to signal noise.
