1. INTRODUCTION

1.1Overview

The Value Series of Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) was designed to prevent spikes, transients and blackouts from reaching your sensitive equipment. Your equipment may include such items as computers and computerized instruments to telecommunication systems. When AC power is present, the UPS filters the power continuously. When AC power fails, the unit employs its internal maintenance-free battery to supply back-up power without interruption.

1.2Frequency Auto Sensing

The VS models can operate in either a 50 or 60 Hz environment. When you plug the UPS into an AC outlet and turn it on, it will automatically detect the incoming line frequency and configure itself to match that frequency.

1.3User Replaceable Battery Design

The battery is the most critical part in a UPS. The average lifetime of a battery is between 3 and 5 years. The special user-replaceable battery design of this UPS provides significant savings and gives the UPS an almost unlimited life. You can replace the battery very easily, and without turning off your UPS or the equipment it is protecting.

Many UPS’s provide only a basic power failure warning. The Value Series, together with OPTI-SAFE Xtreme also provides you with important operating information. If OPTI-SAFE Xtreme is not part of your UPS package, you can purchase it from your local dealer.
