Volt-Free Relay Card for Symphony Range

Volt-free relay outputs for UPS status, alarms and BMS integration

The SPYREL is a volt-free relay card designed by Uniti Power for the Symphony UPS range. It provides five configurable dry-contact outputs that pass UPS status, alarms and bypass events to a building management system (BMS), PLC, alarm panel or other external equipment, plus an input for remote shutdown or remote on/off. Each output is rated up to 240Vac/1A or 30Vdc/1A.

Many sites need to know what a UPS is doing without connecting it to an IP network. The SPYREL presents UPS conditions as simple, electrically isolated contacts that a BMS or alarm panel can read directly, so a mains failure, low battery or bypass event can trigger the site's own alarms and control logic.

Where the SPYREL is used

Typical uses include building management, industrial PLC control, alarm panels and infrastructure projects where UPS alarms must be wired into existing site systems.

Key capabilities

• Five relay outputs: each rated 240Vac/1A or 30Vdc/1A maximum.
• Normally open or normally closed: set per contact to suit the receiving system (normally open by default).
• Selectable functions: each output can signal utility failure, battery low, general alarm, bypass status, summary alarm, battery testing, shutdown processing, overload warning or UPS on.
• Configurable delay: each output and the configurable input can act immediately or after a delay of up to 99 seconds.
• Configurable input: battery mode shutdown, any mode shutdown, emergency power off or remote on/off.
• Dedicated UPS On and UPS Off inputs: two further fixed-function inputs.

Compatibility and installation

The SPYREL is listed for the Symphony 1.5kVA to 3kVA (SPY1500RMi2U, SPY3000RMi2U) and 6kVA to 10kVA (SPY6KiRTB, SPY10KiRTB) UPS. It slides into the UPS communication slot and can be fitted without turning off the UPS or disconnecting the load.

Settings are made through the card's RJ45 settings port using the supplied RJ45 to DB9 serial cable and a terminal emulation program on a PC, via a password-protected maintenance menu. The card measures 60 x 145 x 20mm, weighs 0.10kg and operates from 0 to 40°C.

SPYREL relay card questions answered

How many outputs does the SPYREL have?
The SPYREL has five volt-free relay outputs, each configurable as normally open or normally closed and rated up to 240Vac/1A or 30Vdc/1A.

Can the SPYREL shut down the UPS remotely?
Yes. The SPYREL's configurable input can be set for battery mode shutdown, any mode shutdown, emergency power off or remote on/off, and separate inputs are fixed to UPS On and UPS Off.

Does the SPYREL need a network connection?
No. The SPYREL uses dry contacts, so UPS status reaches a BMS, PLC or alarm panel without an IP network. For network monitoring, see the UPNETG2 network management card.
