The UPA-200 Power Alert reduces the risk of electrical arc flash by
pre-verifying the electrical isolation from outside of an electrical
panel. Hard wired to the circuit breaker or main disconnect, the UPA
LED's flash to indicate the presence of hazardous conditions (20-600
VAC & 20-1000 VDC) associated with stored energy. Engineered with
redundant circuitry, the power alert is powered by the same voltage
that it indicates. The unit is easily installed into the panels through a
standard push-button 33mm knockouts.
The UPA-200 is ideal for mounting on the front controller door panel.
The use of fiber-optics on this unit to transmit the LED lights to the
enclosure door allows the unit to be mounted on an ungrounded door
panel due to no voltage present on panel.
The eight detector UPA-200 visually alerts to the presence of dangerous AC or DC (Stored Energy) potentials occuring between any
combination of the four minitored input lines (L1, L2, L3, GND). Two
LED indicators are assigned to each input line are designate "+" and
"–". For each input line carrying an AC potential (bi-polar), both the
"+" and "–" LEDs will be active. A DC or Stored Energy potential will
illuminate the "+" LED for the positive line and the "–" LED for the
negative line.
