1. INTRODUCTION
The V-Series is a Line Interactive UPS system that includes the newest and latest
technology enhancements. The Line Interactive technology with AVR function (on-line
voltage boost-up & buck-down) allows for a wide input voltage range of 90 to 150VAC.
The V-Series UPS is ideal protection for microprocessor control loads. After the UPS
has been turned “On” it will protect the load from transients, spikes and other power
aberrations. In the event of a blackout (or severe brownout) the UPS will automatically
switch to back-up mode and maintain power to the load until the software shuts down the
system or when the battery reaches a low voltage state. Also included with our UPS
systems is a cyclic self-testing function to verify both the operation of the UPS and the
condition of the battery.
In addition, the V-Series UPS provides advanced telephone line and Ethernet surge
suppression through the modular connectors on the back panel.
The Line Interactive UPS in conjunction with our monitoring software makes your
UPS operate intelligently and provides you with total protection for all your loads.
Interference to Radio / TV
If this UPS causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the UPS off and on, the user can attempt to correct the
interference by one or more of following measures:
1. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from the one that the
receiver is connected.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
3. Re-orientate the receiving antenna.
