introduction

In critical situations, count on MGE UPS SYSTEMS Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Their protection keeps your data intact and accessible.

Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack UPSs ensure top quality power around the clock, and continue operations during power failures. An intelligent microprocessor detects any operating anomalies of the UPS and triggers an alarm if corrective action is necessary.

In addition to the high-technology aspect of these UPSs, you can count on backup from our staff, a team of specialists, around the corner from you, throughout the world. It’s no accident that MGE UPS SYSTEMS is the world leader in UPS protection. The UPS provides power factor correction to reduce harmonic distortion and current created by non-linear critical loads from polluting the incoming AC line.

UPS includes:

cbatteries,

cpower factor correction / battery charger,

cDC to DC converter,

cDC to AC inverter,

cbypass switch,

cinput/output filters.

The MGE Pulsar UPS is capable of providing the following modes of operation: c ON LINE MODE which is the primary mode of operation in which the critical load is continuously supplied by the inverter and protected from all forms of power line disturbances:

uses of Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack:

Network servers and interconnection devices are very sensitive to electrical disturbances of all types, including outages, voltage sags, brownouts, spikes, etc. The origins of the disturbances also vary, ranging

from atmospheric phenomena, to nearby devices generating interference such as elevators, photocopy machines and machine tools, not to mention human errors, like the accidental pulling out of power cords or tripping of circuit breakers. The consequences of these disturbances on computer systems range from data losses to hardware damage (power supplies, hard disks).

Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack are specially designed to protect network servers and all other interconnection devices that are sensitive to electrical disturbances.

Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack add faulttolerance to the utility supplying your sensitive equipment.

Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack are designed as compact units and feature very quiet operation.

Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack provide a stable supply of clean power, long back-up time during a utility outage (see table) and vast information and control possibilities according to the configuration selected.

Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack On-Line technology provides maximum protection and availability of workstations, servers, and network communication devices.

Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack offer many functions and characteristics designed to simplify power management:

cautomatic battery test carried out periodically. In the event of a fault, a LED provides advance warning for battery replacement;

cfront panel LEDs signal all types of faults and alarms;

cBar graph continuously indicates the battery charge level or the critical load power level;

cPulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack are environment friendly: all components are recyclable and an electronic power-saver device reduces power consumption if the UPS is not active for a period exceeding 5 minutes while on battery back-up;

cEX Driver software provides rapid startup of Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack using the EX Tuner configuration module. This module adapts Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack to user preferences (battery test frequency, startup and shutdown sequences, setting of battery thresholds, etc.). See "communication" section for further details;

cSolution-PacTM is a CD-ROM which contains all the tools needed to supervise your UPS.

cSimply download the EX driver utility from the CD and Solution-Pac. The UPS must be serialy connected to a Windows PC.

options

cUM Sensor environment measurement unit: compatible with SNMP or Solution PacTM, this unit measures the temperature and the relative humidity in the room where the Pulsar is installed. Eight relay contacts are provided to transmit signals to an administration platform, in the form of voltage-free contacts to enable monitoring of (fire alarm, climate control fault, intrusion, etc.);

cbattery extension module: Pulsar EXB20/30 battery extension modules lengthen the battery time of the Pulsar EX20Rack /EX30Rack to meet your requirements. For rack installation of EXB20/ 30 order 19" rack kit P/N 8907U.

coutput transformer: input line cord plugs into the Pulsar EX30Rack output receptacle. Rating is 120V AC input, 208V/ 240V AC 2.75 kVA output;

cmaintenance bypass switch: enables the user to continue supplying ac power to the load while performing routine or emergency maintenance.

additional communications options:

cSNMP administration: MGE has the most complete offering for the administration of a group of UPSs using the SNMP protocol with different network-connection modules (SNMP card or proxy software), supervision modules (application for NMS platforms such as HP OpenView or C.A. UNICENTER TNG) and a file-closing module (UM Client).

cSNMP card: this card, inserted into your unit, can establish a direct Ethernet network connection for your UPS. It can then be temporarily managed using SNMP or the various software modules of Solution-Pac. The MGE UPS SYSTEMS offering complies with RFC 1628 specifications (IETF) and was certified by the InterWorking Labs during the Test Summit in June 1994;

cstatus information card: this option provides you with 5 voltage-free contacts: on battery, on by-pass, low battery, load on UPS. This card can be used with the UPS driver of IBM AS/400.

Contact your dealer for further information on these options.

software supplied with Pulsar EX20Rack and EX30Rack

To meet the different operating environments of your UPS, Pulsar EXRack includes 2 MGE UPS SYSTEMS software programs:

cEX-Driver software for Windows

cNetwork based Solution-PacTM power management software

EX-Driver for Windows

EX Driver for Windows provides communication with the UPS from a simple Windows workstation. EX-Driver is compatible with Windows 3.1x and Windows 95/98, for communication with the UPS via a serial connection for various needs:

c personalization of the UPS operating mode: the EX-Tuner utility, can be used to change certain UPS operating parameters if the standard factory settings are not ideal for the operating conditions.

It is possible to modify the output voltage, battery-test frequency, startup and shutdown sequences, operation of automatic by-pass, etc.;

Solution-PacTM for networks and multi-server systems

Protection by UPS is only complete and effective if combined with powerful software functions which warn users and the operator of any power supply problem, automate system shutdown, supervise and remotely control the UPSs. MGE UPS SYSTEMS created Solution-PacTM for this purpose. Solution-PacTM combines all these functions in a single CD-ROM, usable in local or remote mode (TCP/IP and SNMP), and covering the main network environments. Solution-PacTM is the ideal solution for protecting networks and multiserver systems.

Solution-PacTM on a single CD-ROM contains everything needed to safeguard one or more systems and to supervise one or more UPSs from a local or remote station. Solution-PacTM includes SNMP proxy agents, system shutdown software, and supervision software.

Solution-PacTM is a powerful and upgradable software tool which provides all the supervision, control and safety functions associated with a UPS:

vgraphic display of the UPS,

vremote control of the UPS and output receptacles,

vuser alarm of problems,

vrecording of events in log files,

vautomatic system shutdown and restart,

vlocal or remote supervision of UPSs and ancillary devices,

vtransmission of UPS information and alarms to any SNMP supervisor.

vpaging / e-mail capabilities

vmultiple server shutdown in heterogeneous environment.

Platforms supported:

Windows 3.1, 95, 98, NT, Novelle Netware, OS/2, Linus, Mac/OS, Sun Solaris, HP/UX, IBM Aix, Dec Unix and Open VMS, Silicon Graphics, IRIX.
