Each mod el of t he Fire Alar m Bac k -up UPS1481 is des igned to supply a max imum load which is
given by its k VA (1000’s of v olt -amperes) and K W rat ing. It is v ery imp ort ant that the load is
within the rat ing of the FIRE ALARM BAC K-UP ups1481 to ensure that the c onnected loads will
be properly s upporte d.
Volt - ampe res (VA) are th e number of c urrent in a m ps a device d raws multiplied by the nominal
voltage supplied to the device. T he total kVA of all the loads to be c onnecte d t o t he Fire Alar m
Back-up U PS1481 is simply the sum of the k VA requirements of each devic e.
Each electrical devic e t o be po wer ed by the Fir e Alarm Back -up UPS1481 sho uld have a

3-3 Theory of Operation
Illustratio n NO TAG is a simplifi ed block diagram of t he Fire Alarm Bac k -up UPS 1481. This
diagram provides an ex cellent t ool in identifying the m ajor build ing blocks within the Fire
Alarm Back-u p UPS14 81 .
1. External Main input circuit breaker (CB2) — The main input c irc uit power pr ov ides
overcurr ent protectio n t o t he input s ide of t he Fire Alar m Bac k-up U PS1481 .
2. Input Contactor (KI) — The microprocessor base d c ont rol circuitry:
• Verifies UPS t o be normal condition and not t he one ‘at fa ult ”.
• Verif ies correc t input voltage and fr equency t o be within acceptable range and
commands t he closure of t his . C ontactor v ia c ontrol trans f ormer T 2 and fuse Fl.
3. Input Chokes (LI, U) — T hey ac t as a f ilt er and a n important c irc uit ry of an up chop per,
boosting i nput voltag e t o a higher int ernal DC b us v olt age.
4. Batter y charger — The batt ery c harger co nv ert s AC pow er into regul at ed DC pow er t o
charge and t o maintain t he charge on the batt ery bank. Th e c harger is f ully automat ic with
a current li miting feature so that damage wil l not occur to the batteri es in c as e of a charger
malfunct ion. The charger is sized such that t he batteries will be maint ained at f ull c harge
even whe n t he input volt age is at the lo w l ine limit for indefinite periods of t im e.
5. Battery — The bat t ery bank, consisting of eight (8), t en (10), sixt een (16), or tw ent y (20),
12 volt, VR LA batteries , provides the reserve energy t o power the load when s uitable A C
input pow er is not present. T he batteries are seal ed, maint enance—f ree const ruc t ion.
6. Inverter — When t he AC input power is not available to power t he load, the inv erter
converts t he energy st ored in the batt ery bank to AC power to supply the powers the load.
The pulse wi dt h modulated (PWM ) inverter ut iliz es high speed, high ef f ic iency IG BT5 for
fast respo ns e, s inusoidal power.
7. DC Choke (U) — If helps boosting batt ery v oltage to an internal higher DC bus voltage.
8. Output AC Choke (L4) — This acts as a buc k c ircuit co mp onent connec t ing high D C bus
voltage to an appropriate AC out put voltage.
(6002-1646) REV.X8 20
OnLine Power
9. Opt iona l Outpu t Isol a t ion Tra nsf ormer (TI) — T he t ransfor m er performs a number of
critical funct ions. First , it prov ides excellent common mo de and normal mod e noise
isolation of t he load fro m the input or i nv erter power. Sec ondly, it provides voltage
transform at ion and tig ht regulation of the out put voltage while the Fi re Alarm Back -up
UPS1481 is operatin g f rom its internal invert er or directly f rom utility v ia bypass circuitry.
10. lnverter Test Swi tc h(SW2) — This switch is a manually operate d switch which tests t he
Fire Alarm Bac k -up UPS1481 and t he batteries f or proper operation. When the Fire Alar m
Back-up U PS1481 is ru nning and Switch SW2 is pushe d and held in, the Fire Al arm Backup UPS1481 will auto mat ical ly transfe r to battery ope rati on. The Fire Alar m Back- up
UPS1481 will conti nue to run on b at t eries until the switch is released bac k t o t he “nor mal ”
position ( Switch is a mo m entary switch). Wh en t he switc h is released, t he Fire Alar m
Back-up U PS1481 ret urns t o normal operatio n (provid ed input po wer is present ).
11. Control Transformer (T2) — This transf ormer wit h f use (Fl), prov ides (internal
houseke eping) pow er s upply as w ell as 120 VA C for the coil of t he input cont ac t or. The
primary of t his t rans former has vari ous t aps t hat needs t o be matc hed with the various
input voltages.
12. Fan Tr ansfor m e r (T3) — Th is t rans f ormer wit h f us e (F2) prov ides 120 V AC to the fan(s )
for various output voltages that are matched at its pri m ary t aps .
