introduction

In critical situations, count on MGE UPS
SYSTEMS Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Their
protection keeps your data intact and
accessible.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 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.

application of Pulsar EX7, EX10
and EX15:

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 EX7, EX10 and EX15 are specially
designed to protect network servers and all

other interconnection devices that are
sensitive to electrical disturbances.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 add fault­tolerance to the utility supplying your
sensitive equipment.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 are designed
as compact units and feature very silent
operation. They can be installed under a
desk, and can also be installed in a rack
(see "options").
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 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 EX7, EX10 and EX15 On-Line
technology provides maximum protection
and availability of your workstations, server,
and network communication devices.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 offer many
functions and characteristics designed to
simplify power management:
c automatic battery test carried out
periodically. In the event of a fault, a LED
provides advance warning for battery
replacement;
c front panel LEDs signal all types of faults
and alarms;
c Bar graph continuously indicates the
battery charge level or the critical load
power level;
c Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 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;
c EX Driver software provides rapid startup

of Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 using the
EX Tuner configuration module. This module
adapts Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 to user
preferences (battery test frequency, startup
and shutdown sequences, setting of battery
thresholds, etc.). Operation and monitoring
are ensured by the UPS Manager 3.1
module operating under Windows 3.1.
EX Driver connects to the RS 232 port on
the Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 (see
"communication" section for further details);
c Solution-PacTM is a CD-ROM which
contains all the tools needed to supervise
your UPS.
