Features
Availability

• Dual mains input: Increases availability by allowing the UPS to be connected to two separate
power sources
• Scalable runtime: Allows additional runtime to be quickly added as needed
• Hot-swappable batteries: Ensure clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment while
batteries are being replaced
• Generator compatible: Ensure clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment when generator
power is used
• Automatic internal static bypass: Supplies utility power to the connected loads in the event of a
UPS overload condition or fault
• Battery modules connected in parallel: Delivers higher availability through redundant batteries

Serviceability

• Batteries that can be replaced by qualified personnel: Increases availability by allowing qualified
personnel to perform upgrades and replacement of the batteries reducing the Mean Time To
Repair (MTTR)
• Automatic self-test: Periodic battery self-test ensures early detection of a battery that needs to be
replaced
• Shippable with modules installed: Enables pre-installation UPS staging and testing and faster
installation
• Modular design: Provides fast serviceability and reduced maintenance requirements via self-
diagnosing, field-replaceable modules

Manageability

• Network manageable: Provides remote management of the UPS over the network
• InfraStruXure Central Compatible: Enables centralized management via InfraStruXure Central
• LCD: Alphanumeric display which displays system parameters and alarms
• Audible alarms: Provides notification of changing utility power and UPS conditions
• Programmable frequency: Ensures compatibility with different input frequencies
• LED status indicators: Quickly understand unit and power status with visual indicators
• SmartSlot: Customize UPS capabilities with managements cards

Total Cost of Ownership

• Input power factor correction: Minimizes installation costs by enabling the use of smaller
generators and cabling
• Temperature-compensated battery charging: Prolongs battery life by regulating the charge voltage
according to battery temperature
• Manual maintenance bypass: Reduces installation costs by eliminating the need for an external
mechanical bypass
• Intelligent battery management: Maximizes battery performance, life, and reliability through
intelligent, precision charging

Protection

• Frequency and voltage regulation: Gives higher application availability by correcting poor
frequency and voltage conditions without using the battery
• Safety-agency approved: Ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with
the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment. UL, FCC, CE,
C-Tick approvals
• Cold-start capable: Provides temporary battery power when the utility power is out
