APC by Schneider Electric AP9810 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC AP9810 is a dry contact input/output accessory designed to integrate with specific APC Smart-UPS and Symmetra UPS systems. It provides a means to remotely monitor critical UPS status events and control UPS functions via simple contact closures. This accessory is essential for environments requiring integration with third-party monitoring systems, building management systems (BMS), or custom alarm panels where direct network access to the UPS is not feasible or desired. The AP9810 translates UPS operational states into discrete signals, allowing for immediate notification of power events or enabling remote shutdown/startup commands.

Compatibility

This accessory is compatible with select APC Smart-UPS models (e.g., those with an accessory slot) and APC Symmetra LX and RM configurations. It requires a compatible UPS with an available communication slot that supports the AP9810 accessory. Always verify your specific UPS model's compatibility matrix before deployment.

Installation Notes

Installation involves physically inserting the AP9810 into the designated accessory slot on a compatible APC UPS. Wiring for the dry contacts requires careful attention to the terminal block configuration for inputs and outputs. Ensure proper grounding and adherence to local electrical codes during wiring. The device draws minimal power from the UPS communication port.
