Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.

2.1 Introduction
The IPS module serves as temporary power during a short interruption in power.
When the power is off, the IPS delays the shut down time to allow work to be fin-
ished. Once the delay shut down time has expired the IPS sends a shutdown order to
the PC.
There are two modes for setting IPS shutdown PC: PS-ON or RS232.
Refer to the figure below for a description of the connection.
Note! Customers can choose either the model based on their installation
requirements.

2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 VESA Mount Installation
First assemble VESA bracket on PPC, then install PPC-IPS following figures.
Figure 2.3 Mounting Diagram
2.3.2 DIN-rail Installation
The other method of installing the IPS is to install it on a DIN-rail. Take the DIN rail
bracket and screws from the accessory bag, attach as below.
Figure 2.4 DIN Rail Mounting
Note! Max. depth for VESA mounting screws is M4*8 (mm).

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
After the DIN-rail bracket is secured on the IPS, connected it to the rail as shown
below.
Figure 2.5 Attaching the IPS to a DIN Rail
2.3.3 POWER cable & Control Cable Installation
Connect cables after installation of the IPS. Below we use the example of an Advan-
tech Panel PC as a loading machine. If customers use another PC as a loading
machine, install the Power cable and PS_ON cable according to the other machines
connector pin definitions.
2.3.3.1 Making the Power cable
1. Take the power cable from the accessory bag.
Figure 2.6 Power Cable Photo
