Safety Overview Important Safety Information Follow all applicable electrical codes for your installation area. Read the instructions carefully to become familiar with the equipment before trying to install, operate, service or maintain it. The following special messages may appear throughout this manual or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.
Product Overview Introduction The Schneider Electric™ Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card (AP9613) is a management product that provides the following features: • UPS status information presented through 6 fully isolated output relays. This is expandable to 8 using universal input/output ports and optional Dry Contact I/O Accessory (AP9810) • UPS control and testing by using 4 opto-isolated input contacts.
Hardware and software requirements and tools needed The Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card works with most APC by Schneider Electric UPS devices with an output rated less than or equal to 160kVA and an available SmartSlot. While most devices meet this requirement; verify the compatibility of your device by locating it on the APC website, www.apc.com, and checking for compatible accessories.

Configuring the Dip Switches The Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card requires configuration before testing, final installation, and use. See “Location of dip switches” directly below and “Dip switches: input and outputs” . Location of dip switches The “callout” below points to the location of the dip switches on the card, and shows one possible configuration: ON-OFF-OFF-ON.
Dip switches: input and outputs The table below lists the four possible configurations, with their corresponding inputs and outputs. Configuration 1 Configuration 2 Configuration 3 Configuration 4* OFF-OFF-OFF-ON ON-OFF-OFF-ON OFF-ON-OFF-ON ON-ON-OFF-ON Device Actions Inputs 1 Turn the UPS on. 2 Turn the UPS off. 3 Start UPS self-test. 4 Shut down the UPS when on battery except for self-test or runtime calibration. Turn the UPS off safely.
Installing See “Planning your installation” directly below, “Installation steps” on page 12, and “Connecting to the configuration utility” on page 14. Planning your installation Operating considerations DANGER HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Read and understand this manual and the manuals of the UPS before installing this card. Installation must be performed by qualified personnel. The user is responsible for compliance with all international and national electric code requirements.
inputs, we recommend that an output be configured and monitored appropriately to determine the effectiveness of an input. • Do not wire this Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card when the power is on. • The installation of this Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card must follow applicable building and electrical codes. • Do not use this card to control voltage exceeding 30 VAC or VDC. • For proper operation, ensure that the UPS is grounded and the Dry Contact I/O Card is secured with two screws to the UPS.
Connection strategies You can connect the alarm outputs of the Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card in several ways to meet the requirements of your management systems or switched load. Both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) systems are accommodated in any combination of AND or OR configurations. You can combine Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card alarm outputs to form compound outputs, such as “replace battery OR fault” or “on-battery AND low battery.” N. O. AND N. O. COM N. O. COM N. O. OR N. O.
Installation steps Warning: After installation, it is strongly recommended that you fully test your configuration before putting it into a production environment. 1. Make all connections to the Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card to support your configuration before continuing. See “Itemizing the input contact and output relay terminal blocks” on page 6 for information on making the connections. Electrostatic discharge: The Dry Contact I/O SmartSlot Card is sensitive to static electricity.
3. Orient the Card to fit in the Card slot as shown. Slide the Card all the way into the slot until the end plate is flush with the back panel of the host device. Trying to install the Card upside down may damage it. Observe the correct orientation of the Card. The sides of the printed circuit board align with the guides in the sides of the Card slot. The slot may be oriented horizontally or vertically in the host device, which must be off. 4. Secure the Card with the screws removed in step 3.
Connecting to the configuration utility The Configuration Utility does not need to be installed, it runs off the Card.
To run the Utility, launch the runme.hta file located in the root of the drive. For information on using the Configuration Utility user interface, refer to its online help. When you connect your Card with your PC using the USB cable, the Configuration Utility reads a file called config.lua on the Card. Each time you save a new configuration using the Utility, this file is overwritten. It is also possible to edit config.lua directly using a text editor like Notepad or Microsoft Word.
