Requirements
-
Ensure that the ONT is connected to a network.
-
Ensure that the output of the UPS is what the ONT requires.
-
Ensure that the ONT must not be connected to a DC power interface.
Overview
The ONT provides an option to connect battery backed power supply (for example, UPS) for uninterrupted operation. A 2x4 Molex
connector is provided on the front panel of the unit for the same. We do not intend to supply UPS along with ONT so you need
to procure it. Pin-out of the front panel UPS connector is given below. Follow the pin-out to prepare cable and connect UPS
with ONT.
The following table lists the UPS pin-out.

The UPS connects to the residence’s 110/220 V AC; 50/60 Hz power, converts the AC voltage to 12 VDC, and monitors the power
source and battery for alarm conditions. The ONT is meant for indoor installation.
The ONT may be used with IEC/ UL certified BATTERY BACKUP (for UPS connector) with Output: 12 VDC, 30 W, complies with Limited
Power Source, Tma = 40 degree C, and minimum operating altitude 2000 meters. Support of the UPS requires purchase of a 1m,
3m or 6m cord with 8-pin power connector interface ordered separately in addition to the UPS. There may also be additional
UPS options available.
The ONT provides alarm monitoring for AC power failure, battery present, battery charge level, and battery end of life on
its UPS connector. These alarms are transported over the PON to the service provider’s alarm network.
The indoor UPS is rated for indoor installations (up to 40°C/104°F). Units are configured with North American 3-prong Type
B power plug. There are two versions available: grounded and floating. The grounded unit is designed to pass ground to the
ONT for added protection against power surges and interference. The floating unit does not pass ground across the transformer
and is used when service providers prefer to isolate the ground of the ONT from the house ground.
