DESCRIPTION OF THE BACK-UP’S OPERATION 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

The  SINLINE  XL  UPS  is  a  state-of-the-art  electronic  device  constituting  an 

autonomous source of true sine wave voltage of ~230V. This device belongs to the 

group  of  LINE-INTERACTIVE  (VI)-class  UPSs,  which  includes  UPSs  that 

synchronise with the mains. The UPS is equipped with the CLEAR DIGITAL SINUS 

(CDS) system, which generates a precisely stabilised output voltage in the shape of 

sinusoid, which enables supplying power to a wide range of equipment that does not 

tolerate quasi-sine wave voltages. This system increases the reliability of the device 

and guarantees stable operation of the UPS. 

With  the  help  of  the  Automatic  Voltage  Regulation  (AVR)  system  the  UPS  instantly 

corrects  slight  drops  in  the  mains  voltage  to  provide  the  receivers  with  appropriate 

power  supply  conditions  without  tapping  into  the  energy  reserves  stored  in  the 

batteries.  

The back-up also uses the system of advanced DIGITAL POWER CONTROL (DPC) 

which precisely shapes the oscillation of the output voltage to obtain a clear sinus. In 

the mains  operating  mode  the  system filters the mains  voltage  to  remove  the  noise 

and distortions that may be dangerous for the receivers.  

The dedicated DPC system monitors the operation of the UPS; it has a precise and 

very quick-reacting system of detecting overloads and outlet shorting in the back-up 

operation  mode.  In  mains  operation  mode  the  shorting  safeguard  is  provided  by  

a cut-out and overloads are signalled both visually and acoustically. 

When the UPS is started in the back-up operation mode, a special soft start mode is 

used  in  order  to  launch  with  high  loads  that  draw  high  starting  current,  e.g.  laser 

printers. 

Moreover,  the  DPC  system  enables  long  operation  in  battery  mode  by  allowing 

connection  of  an  additional  battery  module  and  control  of  internal  temperature  by 

means of an active cooling system, which is activated as necessary. This manner of 

switching on the cooling reduces the amount of noise generated by the UPS.  

The DPC system offers various modes of communication between the UPS and the 

computer via a communication port or a special slot for the Ever management card 

(HTTP, telnet, SNMP).
