Section 1
– System Overview
The Panduit SmartZone™ UPS units are true on-line double conversion systems that
deliver highly efficient and reliable power protection for your computer, IT,
communications, and automatic equipment. These units have high electrical
performance, intelligent monitoring, and network functions to properly monitor and
condition the worlds power problems (power failures, power sags, power surges, under-
voltages, over-voltages, electrical line noises, frequency variations, switching transients,
and harmonic distortion).
Each UPS has multiple options for interfacing with the unit. The UPS can be ordered
with a network card for remote network monitoring, control, and configuration, or can be
ordered without a network card. Additionally, a Network Card or a Dry Contact Relay
Card can be ordered as accessories.
Each UPS unit is also equipped with a serial port for limited local monitoring, control,
and configuration through a PC. This manual provides the information on how to
operate the system with all interfacing options.
The UPS units support VRLA (Value Regulated Lead-acid) batteries as the backup
power storage system. The topology of these units is on-line double conversion with a
built-in economy (ECO) mode. The on-line document conversion architecture provides
the best power conditioning by recreating a true sinewave on the UPS outputs. The on-
line double conversion topology converts the input AC power to a DC power and then
regenerates the AC power on the UPS outputs. This double conversion allows the UPS
to eliminate the inconsistencies in the input power, provided by the utility company. The
UPS may be optionally switched to ECO mode to increase the
unit’s efficiency when the
input power is known to be reliable (requires minimal conditioning).
All UPS units described in this User Manual have a 3.5-inch touch screen color display.
The screen auto detects the UPS mounting orientation and auto rotates to support
horizontal in-rack installation or vertical tower installation.
