UPS Standard Features
The UPS has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently
reliable power protection:
8.3.1 Customer Interface
Computer Interface
One serial communications port
is standard on all units, and is electrically isolated
from the UPS. You can use this port to link the UPS to the features described in
Chapter 13,
“
Communications
”.
Building Alarm Monitoring
You can connect your facility’s alarm system contacts to four (4) inputs in the UPS.
The UPS uses these inputs to monitor your building alarms in addition to the UPS
status. This feature is described further in Chapter 11, “Using Features and Options.”
Summary Alarm Contacts
Alarm contacts
are provided for connection to equipment at your facility, such as a
light, an audible alarm, or a computer terminal. The equipment you connect to these
contacts alerts you to an UPS alarm. This feature is described further in Chapter 11,
“Using Features and Options.”
8.3.2 Advanced Battery Management
A three stage charging system increases battery service life by optimizing recharge
time, and protects batteries from damage due to high current charging and inverter
ripple currents. Charging at high currents can overheat and damage batteries.
8.3.3 High Efficiency Mode
A High Efficiency Mode is available that allows the UPS to operate in an offline
bypass mode. In this mode, the UPS is operating on bypass, with the power
processing unit in standby, ready to automatically transfer to normal mode if a
commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, or
out-of-tolerance frequency condition occurs.
8.3.4 Customer Convenience Outlet
An uninterruptible 120VAC, 0.2 amp, fuse-protected convenience outlet is provided
to supply power to the optional modem. It is located on the Customer Interface
Panel.
8.3.5 Installation Features
Power wiring can be routed through the rear and bottom of each cabinet with
connections made to easily accessible terminal blocks. External sensing
and monitoring control wire must be installed in accordance with Class 1 wiring
methods. Class 1 wiring can be routed through the top of each cabinet.
Communications option cards are quickly installed through the rear panel. X---Slot
cards are hot pluggable.
8.3.6 Auto Restart
An Auto Restart function can be enabled to automatically restart the UPS after a
power outage. To have the Auto Restart function enabled, contact a Powerware
service representative.
