Backup time

Time that the connected equipment can operate on battery power if AC-input power fails.

Bargraph

Device on the front panel indicating the percent remaining backup time or the percent

 

load.
Battery module (additional)

Additional battery modules connected in parallel to increase the UPS backup time.

Booster mode

Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is increased if it drops

 

below a value set in the personalisation parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.

De-energisedThe UPS must be physically disconnected from the AC-input power.
EquipmentDevices and systems connected to the UPS output.
Fader mode

Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is decreased if it rises

 

above a value set in the personalisation parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.

Input circuit breakerCircuit breaker protecting the upstream distribution system against UPS faults.
OutletsPulsar Evolution has a group of four non-programmable outlets.
Output circuit breaker

Circuit breaker protecting the UPS against high overloads or faults on the connected

 

equipment.
Personalisation

The parameters for a number of UPS functions may be modified using the UPS Driver

 

software to adapt UPS operation to user needs.
RS232 communications portFor UPS connection to a computer via the serial port.
Programmable outlets

Pulsar Evolution has two groups of two programmable outlets. They may be used for

 

sequential start-up of protected equipment, shedding of non-priority loads during

 

operation on battery power or management of operating priorities to provide the most

 

critical devices with more backup time before battery power runs out. These outlets may

 

be programmed using the Solution-Pac software on the CD-ROM supplied with the

 

UPS.
Solution-PacMGE UPS SYSTEMS safety, set-up and supervision software suite on the CD-ROM

 

supplied with the UPS.
UPSUninterruptible Power Supply.

UPS Driver

Communications software on the CD-ROM supplied with the UPS. It may be used to

 

personalise the default settings.
USB communications portFor UPS connection to a computer via the USB port.
