INTRODUCTION

2.1 General

The ULTRA Series UPS is a compact, light weight and attractively designed
uninterruptible power supply for office automation equipment (computers and
peripherals such as monitors, modem, printers, fax machines, etc.). Its major function
is to eliminate any power problem such as a black out, brown out, sag, surge, spike,
noise, etc. that might cause malfuction of the load causing work interruption. With its
Advanced Microprocessor Control, when the UPS detects any abnormal conditions, it
will respond instantaneously. It also has special features: Power Watcher, a full time
load measuring system, Battery Watcher, the battery capacity checking system, Ultra
Fast Charger, providing less than 3 hours charging time without shortening battery
life and Perfect Ultra Display, which shows the current status of the UPS ( load level,
input voltage level, battery level, battery replacement condition and overload
condition) and Advanced Load Outlet Management (ALOM), which the user can
program to turn off a low priority outlet when there is a low battery or overload
condition (for 1050VA or higher only). For the UPS with LED display and EASY display,
LED lamps represent the messages or status. For the UPS with LCD display, the
messages or symbols show on LCD screen.

The ULTRA Series UPS can be started when there is no power source. It is conve­nient for you to have spare power when the source fails or in an emergency. It
also can communicate with a computer through the Easy-Mon X Monitoring and
Management Software (sold separately) via USB or RS-232 (for some model) port .
This software can monitor the UPS and AC source status on PC that connected
directly to UPS. It allow user to schedule on-off the UPS, schedule self-test and data
log. It also can monitor the UPS and AC source status of the UPS in the network through
Easy-Mon Netview Manager (sold seperately) and alarm the blackout status on
computer server to client computer in the network through Easy-Mon Alert (sold
seperately).

2.2.1 Operating in the normal mode
Normally, UPS is working under line interactive mode in which the path of

current is as follows : When the current first flows into the UPS, it has to pass
through a surge protection circuit to filter surges and spikes which may occur
from a nearby lightning discharge or load switching by the local power
company. Here, the high voltage power will go to the line grounding system
and let only the acceptable current pass to the EMI/RFI filter to eliminate EMI
and RFI. Then it flows to the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) to regulate the
voltage level to approximately your country's standard nominal mains voltage
(see product specification, 100, 110, 120, 220, 230 or 240 Volts). If the voltage is
too high or too low compared to the standard nominal voltage, it will be
adjusted to the safety level for your loads (please refer to the specifications).
After that the current will flow to two destinations. The first part goes to the
EMI/RFI attenuation then to the Power Watcher and to your connected loads.
The Power Watcher provides information about load conditions, whether or
not you are overloading your ULTRA Series UPS. (Power Watcher is continuously
monitoring in real time both for the stabilizer and inverter modes.) The
remaining power flows to the battery charger circuit to charge the batteries
and maintain them fully charged.

2.2.2 Operating under backup mode
The UPS will transfer to backup mode (inverter mode) when it detects

abnormal situations such as blackouts, brownouts, surges, sags or abnormal
frequency. These situations may harm your loads and may be too risky for the
UPS to operate in the interactive mode. When an abnormal power mode is
detected, the UPS will Immediately transfer to the backup mode with no loss of
power to the loads. At this moment, the backup power will begin to be drawn
from battery. The current from the battery will flow to the inverter (changing
direct current to alternating current). Then, the power flows to the EMI/RFI
attenuation, Power Watcher and on to your loads.

You can also monitor the UPS from a PC by using Easy-Mon X Monitoring and
Management Software through a connection between the PC and the UPS
communication port. For instance, you can set the UPS shutdown time and restart time,
this status will be displayed on your PC monitor.

2.3 Features

Advanced LEONICS Microprocessor control: A specially programmed

microprocessor produced only for LEONICS is used as the CPU for the UPS.
This makes the ULTRA Series UPS perform faster and more accurately to
protect valuable equipment and its peripherals and provides advanced
control features.
Power Watcher: Full time load power monitoring and battery charge
warnings are provided to make sure that your UPS will be able to properly
backup power to the PC protected by UPS. "Power Watcher" helps users
know in real time that they are not overloading their UPS. With this useful
feature you can increase loads as much as you want until the UPS overload
warning is shown. (LEONICS suggests that for highest reliability and safety
that you should connect loads at no more than 75 % of rated UPS power.
This allows for loads that change power level during use and provides for
some reserve backup power for some loads.)
Battery Watcher (Battery Replacement Indicator): Every time ULTRA
Series UPS performs a self-test and when the battery has been fully
charged, it will perform a battery condition evaluation to determine
whether the battery used by the ULTRA Series UPS is still good or should
be replaced. The battery replacement indicator will show when the
battery should be replaced.
Ultra Fast Charger: This UPS features an advanced, 3 stage charger (Bulk ­Boost - Float) to shorten charging time without harming the battery.
Besides fast charging, UPS also maintains the proper charging voltage to
preserve the battery from self-discharge and to make sure that it is always
fully charged and ready to provide backup power to your PC.
Intelligent Battery Management (IBM): The intelligent battery
management system will manage charging and discharging to get
longer backup times and prolong battery life.
Advanced Load Outlet Management (ALOM): This feature allows the
user to preset operation of the "Intelligent Channel" via Easy-Mon X
Software. The user can preset the intelligent output channel to cut off
power to low priority loads when the UPS is overloaded, over temperature
or has a low battery (available on 1050 VA or higher model only).

Hot Swappable Battery: The user can replace the battery even when the
UPS is running and without turning off the computer as long as mains
power is available.
Surge Protection for Telephone Line: Surge protection protects
equipment data from surges that come from telephone line (RJ11).

Surge Protection for LAN Line (option): Surge protection protects
equipment data from surges that come from LAN line. These special
sockets can accept either telephone plugs (RJ11) or LAN plugs (RJ45).
Perfect LED Display (depend on model): Attractive outlook with full
function LED display. It shows load level, input voltage level, battery level,
battery replacement condition and overload condition.
Perfect LCD Display (depend on model): Attractive outlook with full
function LCD display. It shows load level, input voltage level, battery level,
battery replacement condition and overload condition.
Easy Display (depend on model): Simple outlook with easy function
display. It shows utility line status, battery status and load status.

Multi-function switch : Single switch with 4 functions, very convenient to users :

1. Turn on / Turn off UPS

2. Mute audible alarm

3. Self-test switch

4. Switch display mode (For the UPS with LED display only.)

Extend Backup Time (option): It extends the battery unit to increase the
duration of UPS backup time. It can protect data with extra effectiveness.

Inverter temperature sensor (option): When the UPS is operating under backup

mode, the inverter temperature sensor will check the temperature inside inverter and

warning when the temperature is too high. You should reduce the load immediately.

Automatic voltage regulator -37% to +30%. buck and double boost (option) :

With it’s especially wide range automatic input voltage regulator, from –37% to +30%,

UPS can lessen backup mode transferred transaction, which helps you save the

battery‘s energy for emergencies, it also prolongs your battery life. (This optional is

special for specific models, please see your features on the side of the carton).
