9.  PC-MODE 
The PC-mode always turns the output off for at least 5s after a buffer event lasting longer than 1s, independent of 
whether the 24V may have recovered during this time. This function ensures that the PC gets a restart signal. To 
enable a safe shut-down of the system, the forced turn off of the output is delayed with a constant time of 70s. 
To activate the PC-mode, connect the two pins marked with “PC-mode” together on the signal connector together. 
If the reset is to be controlled by the PC and not the DC-UPS, a wiring option called “external controlled delayed shut-
down” is available. See section 23.8 for details.

Example A:
The buffer event is longer than 1s 
and ends before the buffer capacitors 
are fully discharged. 
After 70s of the beginning of the 
buffer event, the output of the DC-
UPS will be switched off for 5s.

Example B:
The buffer event lasts longer than the 
buffer capacitors can supply the 
output. 
The buffer capacitors are fully 
discharged before the input voltage 
recovers. 
The DC-UPS output will turn-on 
earliest 5s after the power supply 
output voltage has recovered.
