FALCON® SMP Series - Overview
The FALCON® SUP Series UPS has the unique ability to operate from either 120Vac domestic or 230Vac international utility power, while providing 120Vac domestic output power. The SUP does not perform frequency conversion, however it is the ideal solution for the international traveller requring voltage conversion.
The Line-interactive or Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) feature provides output voltage regulation, while the UPS is operating from the utility power. This keeps the connected equipment's operating voltage within reasonable limits during abnormal utility power conditions such as brown-outs, high line voltages and surges.
All SUP models are microprocessor controlled. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is conveniently located on the front panel. This display gives immediate and detailed UPS and power information without having to connect an expensive monitoring computer. An intelligent RS-232 computer interface port is also located on the UPS rear panel in the event remote monitoring or unattended computer shutdown is required. An optional external SNMP/HTTP agent is available, giving the ability to manage the UPS remotely across a LAN, WAN or via the Internet.
Unlike many other line-interactive UPSs on the market, the SUP models produce a sinewave output voltage, just like the incoming utility power. This assures your delicate electronic equipment will always receive the sinewave power it was designed for.
All models have an advanced two-stage battery charger providing safe, fast battery recharging while yielding a longer battery life.
All models have advanced surge protection circuitry to prevent damaging power line transients from reaching your equipment. Additional surge protect- ed, RJ11 telephone jacks are provided on the UPS rear panel.
