SG Series UPS - Overview

True Regenerative On-Line Design

As new and innovative technologies have become the backbone of today's businesses, maximum system availability is critical and downtime is more expensive than ever. Increasingly, businesses need a UPS that not only protects against blackouts, but also virtually eliminates more frequent and subtle power disturbances. Surges, sags, line noise and brownouts can disrupt proper operation of sensitive equipment. These disturbances may also create unnecessary production, service, and data recovery costs.

A True Regenerative On-Line UPS provides the highest level of protection against the widest spectrum of power problems. The incoming AC utility source is converted to a regulated DC voltage. From this DC voltage, a new AC voltage is generated, providing continuous, clean, tightly regulated power to your equipment. Line-interactive and Off-line designs leave your equipment connected directly to dirty utility power. They only provide minimal transient, voltage and backup protection. If your equipment operation is "Mission Critical", a true double conversion On-Line UPS, such as Falcon® Electric's SG SeriesT UPS Plus®, is the only clear choice.

Input Power Factor Correction

All SG Series UPS Plus models include state-of-the-art Input Power Factor Correction. This greatly reduces the amount of current demanded from your building wiring system, yielding a highly efficient, "building friendly" UPS.

Microprocessor Control

Falcon Electric's SG Series UPS incorporates advanced microprocessor technology. This technology makes possible a high level of internal UPS control and management. With the supplied UPSILON® software, all SG Series UPS models support unattended shutdown, manage- ment, data logging, and self-diagnostics. The software supports MS Windows® 95, 98, NT, 2000, 2000 Server, ME, XP, Novell Netware® 5 & 6, LINUX and FreeBSD. UPSILON for UNIX is avail- able as an option and supports most popular UNIX platforms and OS versions.

SNMP/HTTP Remote Management Support

Our SNMP/HTTP Agent board provides remote management and monitoring over any Ethernet LAN, WAN or the Internet utilizing a 10BaseT-type connection. The optional SNMP/HTTP agent installs via an option slot located behind a cover plate on the back panel of every SG Series model.

Extended Battery Bank Option

All SG Series models have a continuous duty inverter and support the addition of optional external battery/charger packs. Whether your application requires a few additional minutes or hours, the SG Series will be ready. Falcon also offers optional battery charger upgrades for faster recharging. Please specify your extended battery requirements at the time of your initial order. Contact the factory for battery charger options.

Frequency Converter Option

With a factory modification at the time of order, any SG Series model can be configured for use as an international frequency converter. This makes the SG Series UPS Plus an ideal choice for worldwide power applications. Without this modification, all SG series models will detect the incoming utility line frequency and automatically set the output frequency to match the input.
