SG Series UPS - Overview
True Regenerative On-Line Design
As new and innovative technologies have become the backbone of today's businesses, maximum
system availability is critical and downtime is more expensive than ever. Increasingly, businesses
need a UPS that not only protects against blackouts, but also virtually eliminates more frequent
and subtle power disturbances. Surges, sags, line noise and brownouts can disrupt proper
operation of sensitive equipment. These disturbances may also create unnecessary production,
service, and data recovery costs.
A True Regenerative On-Line UPS provides the highest level of protection against the widest
spectrum of power problems. The incoming AC utility source is converted to a regulated DC
voltage. From this DC voltage, a new AC voltage is generated, providing continuous, clean, tightly
regulated power to your equipment. Line-interactive and Off-line designs leave your equipment
connected directly to dirty utility power. They only provide minimal transient, voltage and backup
protection. If your equipment operation is "Mission Critical", a true double conversion On-Line
UPS, such as Falcon
®
Electric's SG Series
T
UPS Plus
®
, is the only clear choice.
Input Power Factor Correction
All SG Series UPS Plus models include state-of-the-art Input Power Factor Correction. This
greatly reduces the amount of current demanded from your building wiring system, yielding a
highly efficient, "building friendly" UPS.
Microprocessor Control
Falcon Electric's SG Series UPS incorporates advanced microprocessor technology. This
technology makes possible a high level of internal UPS control and management. With the
supplied UPSILON
®
software, all SG Series UPS models support unattended shutdown, manage-
ment, data logging, and self-diagnostics. The software supports MS Windows
®
95, 98, NT, 2000,
2000 Server, ME, XP, Novell Netware
®
5 & 6, LINUX and FreeBSD. UPSILON for UNIX is avail-
able as an option and supports most popular UNIX platforms and OS versions.
SNMP/HTTP Remote Management Support
Our SNMP/HTTP Agent board provides remote management and monitoring over any Ethernet
LAN, WAN or the Internet utilizing a 10BaseT-type connection. The optional SNMP/HTTP agent
installs via an option slot located behind a cover plate on the back panel of every SG Series
model.
Extended Battery Bank Option
All SG Series models have a continuous duty inverter and support the addition of optional external
battery/charger packs. Whether your application requires a few additional minutes or hours, the
SG Series will be ready. Falcon also offers optional battery charger upgrades for faster
recharging. Please specify your extended battery requirements at the time of your initial order.
Contact the factory for battery charger options.
Frequency Converter Option
With a factory modification at the time of order, any SG Series model can be configured for use as
an international frequency converter. This makes the SG Series UPS Plus an ideal choice for
worldwide power applications. Without this modification, all SG series models will detect the
incoming utility line frequency and automatically set the output frequency to match the input.
