2.6 System Configuration
The UPS device and the internal backup battery make up the system. Depending on the
site and load requirements of the installation, available options may be utilized to create
a tailored solution.
Planning a UPS system should include the following considerations:
• The total demand of the protected system shall dictate the output power rating (VA).
Allow a margin for future expansion or calculation inaccuracies from measuring
power requirements.
• Backup time required will determine the battery size needed. If the load is less than
the UPS nominal power rating then the actual backup time will be longer.
Here are the following backup time for each model that is based in a 100% load.
Model Backup time Internal

The following configuration options are available for enhanced UPS performance:
• External Battery Cabinets. (Additional External Battery Cabinets are
available if more back-up time is needed.)
• Connectivity options (Remote Contact, SNMP/WEB card).
