The highly efficient, high-performance AUPS-C20 UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
module could be installed with four Li-ion batteries to provide stable 12V output and
uninterruptible power to the IEI AFOLUX series panel PCs. The UPS module also
receives a wide range of inputs between 9 V and 28 V DC. The AUPS-C20 is built on an
intelligent design and provides outstanding line and load regulations. The AUPS-C20 is
capable of providing power for certain of time in power failure.
The AUPS-C20 UPS module comes with the utility software that provides information on
current power source and battery status. With the AUPS software installed and network
connected, the AUPS-C20 can be monitored and turned on/off through a remote
computer.
