LevelOne UAC-DCC01 Dry Contact Relay Card for UPS-2100 Series

The LevelOne UAC-DCC01 is a specialized dry contact relay card engineered to enhance the functionality of the LevelOne UPS-2100 series. This interface card serves as a critical bridge between your uninterruptible power supply and external monitoring or control systems, facilitating reliable communication of power status events. Designed for professional power management environments, this accessory ensures that your infrastructure remains under constant surveillance, providing the necessary signals for automated responses to power fluctuations or system changes.

Advantages

This relay card offers significant benefits for users requiring robust power management integration. By providing voltage-free dry-contact signals, it allows for seamless communication with programmable controllers and building management systems. The card features five distinct output relay signals, which can be configured to monitor various UPS states such as power failure, low battery, bypass mode, and general system status. Its plug-and-play design ensures that installation is straightforward, requiring no complex software configuration to begin relaying critical data to your external alarm or control devices.

Suitable for

• Server room power monitoring
• Integration with building management systems
• Automated remote shutdown procedures
• External alarm and fault indicator setups
• Workstation and personal computer power management

When it may not be suitable

This card is exclusively designed for the LevelOne UPS-2100 series and is not compatible with other UPS models or brands. If your monitoring system requires digital network-based communication protocols like SNMP or HTTP rather than physical dry-contact relay signals, this hardware may not meet your specific connectivity requirements.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: LevelOne UPS-2100 Series
• Output signals: 5 relay outputs
• Included cable: LAN (RJ-45) to DB9
• Dimensions: 146 mm x 60 mm x 30 mm
• Weight: 200 g

How to use

To install the UAC-DCC01, ensure the UPS is powered down and disconnected from the main power source. Locate the intelligent slot on the rear of your LevelOne UPS-2100 unit and carefully insert the relay card until it is securely seated. Once installed, use the provided LAN (RJ-45) to DB9 cable to connect the card to your external monitoring device or programmable controller. After the physical connection is established, power on the UPS. The card will automatically begin transmitting status signals based on the UPS operating conditions without the need for additional driver installations.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your UPS model is part of the LevelOne UPS-2100 series.
• Ensure your external control system supports dry-contact relay inputs.
• Check the physical space available in your server rack for the cable connection.
• Confirm that the five available relay signals cover all your required monitoring parameters.

Usage recommendations: Regularly test the relay outputs during scheduled maintenance to ensure that your external alarm systems or shutdown controllers are correctly receiving the status signals from the UPS.
