2 - Introduction
2.1 Introduction
The IT Series is a line interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) which generates a true sine wave output, that protects your equipment
from power anomalies, including complete power failures.
The IT Series UPS is based on microprocessor control. The line-interactive UPS provides pure, reliable AC power to the critical loads protecting them from utility power blackout , swells, sags, surges and interference. Critical loads include sensitive medical instruments,
computers, telecommunication systems, and industrial equipment. Under normal power conditions, the line-interactive design enables the
system to adjust and f ilter power fluctuations continuously and automatically. In the event of power anomaly, it can provide immediate
back-up power from the batteries without any interruption. Complete transfer will be achieved within six (6) milliseconds, with no
interruption.
In addition, when the utility power is connected, the battery charger would work automatically even when UPS power switch is OFF.
Furthermore, in order to save battery energy, UPS can automatically turn the charger OFF under backup mode if none of the connected
loads are operating.
The visual and audible indications of the UPS Advanced Battery Management algorithms present the battery’s status including capacity
degree and battery condition. The self-test function can detect a weak battery before it is put into service. The UPS normally performs a
self-test at power up and manual self-test condition. Self-test function can be initiated manually with the ON/TEST switch at any time.
2.2 Intended use
