The BPM also offers output distribution in order to simplify wiringin a rackmount IT environment, potentially removing the need for a panelboard, breakers, and conduit fordistribution.Although the BPM is designed to be safe, the bypass can carry high levels of voltage and current. The BPMshould only be operated by an experienced user, familiar with UPS behavior and functionality. Installation formodels requiring hardwire connections should be performed by a qualified electrician following local electricalcodes. Please refer to the installation chapter of your UPS manual for the BPM wiring diagram.Bypass OverviewThe BPM has three operating positions (see Table 1).
