VFI-RT+ UPS

Extra Features
Rack / Tower
Online Double Conversion

■ Available 1.5 & 3KVA The VFI-RT+ Uninterruptible Power Supplies are the benchmark in power
protection performance. True online double conversion technology
■ VFI Technology provides the highest degrees of power protection making the UPS
suitable for a wide variety of mission critical equipment and infrastructure.
■ Matching Battery Cabs
The VFI-RT+ can be mounted in a 19” rack installation and occupies only
■ High Capacity Charger 2U of rackspace. Alternatively, the unit can be vertically mounted with the
supplied support brackets.
■ Adjustable Charge Current
The high output power factor of 0.9 removes the risk of overload on
■ Adjustable Output Voltage power factor corrected loads. The high efficiency of the VFI-RT+ reduces
the need for additional cooling requirements, reducing operating costs
■ Frequency Conversion
and can be set into even higher efficiency ECO mode operation if
Mode required.

■ Intelligent
Port for SNMP / Additional battery packs can be added to extend runtime with the added
Relay Options benefit of built-in high capacity chargers, allowing large battery strings to
be recharged in a timely fashion. These can be added at a later date as
■ Rack/Tower Format and when required. Internal UPS batteries and those of matching cabinets
can be hot-swapped during the UPS life for ease of maintenance.
■ Programmable Outlets
To improve reliability and protect against environmental contaminants
■ Hot Swap Battery such as moisture and dust, the PCB boards have been conformally coated.

■ HID USB Interface Full HID Compliant USB interface for connection directly to operating
system power management, with capability of SNMP / Relay for added
■ Conformally Coated PCB communication options.

UPS LCD and Parameter Settings

The comprehensive LCD provides at a

glance battery and load level bars. The
UPS status is provided in a easy to read
graphical display.

The UPS can be interrogated to show

input voltage and frequency, output volt-
age and frequency, battery voltage and
charge percentage. In battery mode the
remaining battery time or on battery
time is displayed.

The LCD can be rotated depending upon

rack or tower use and is also used for
setting UPS parameters:

 Batteries and External Battery Cabs

The VFI-RT+ contains an internal battery tray and an adjustable, high capacity charger. This allows the unit to be used in
standard runtime configurations, but also allows the addition of further battery packs without the need to either specify
an extended run UPS in the first instance, or provide additional chargers. Each cab is matching in appearance, 2U
rackmount or vertical standing, and can be hot-swapped.

Adjustable charging currents from

1A to 12A on the 1500VA and 1A
to 8A on the 3KVA are standard.

Each battery cabinet can be daisy chained to the next cab to provide extendable runtime. The provided cable in each
cab connects to the UPS or the next cabinet. Each cab is complete with a circuit breaker for protection and isolation.

The UPS internal batteries as well

as the cabinet batteries are
contained within self contained
trays and are fully hot-swappable.

Each cab contains 2 trays

consisting of 9Ah blocks meaning
each cab adds 18Ah to the
battery capacity.

The cab comes with vertical

support extenders that mate with
the UPS brackets to allow for
vertical configuration.

Communications

The USB port provides full serial communications to an

attached computer. Being HID compliant the unit will
“talk” to the operating system directly (effectively
making a desktop like a laptop in terms of power
operation). Alternatively, shutdown software can be
downloaded and installed.

Legacy RS232 is also available.

The rear panel includes an

“intelligent slot” for the
addition of either an SNMP or
an AS400 relay card. SNMP
allows monitoring of the UPS
over a network connection. The
advanced card also contains an
event log. The relay card allows
connection to AS400 servers or
any other remote alarm or
Building Management Systems.
