TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
he DC/AC Digital Technology-Extreme
Temperature SP1250DLE Series Continuous
Power System (CPS) is a revolutionary new concept
in DC/AC total power protection and management.
The SP1250DLE Series is a DSP processor-based
UPS that allows the user to set most of the control
feature parameters. By directly linking a personal
computer to the SP1250DLE Series Com ports,
frequency settings and operation, alarm signals, load
switching, fan operation, etc. can all be programmed
to meet specific application requirements.
The SP1250DLE Series is a true on-line, DC/AC
continuous power source. This product is a design
result of the need for the new, next generation of DC
Powered Traffic Control Cabinets. In the tradition of
Clary products, the SP1250DLE Series generates
the same high quality and proven reliability to provide
the best DC/AC power protection available for
today’s critical applications.
In keeping with the state-of-the-art design, the power
electronics are completely governed by an on-board
DSP based processor. Given the powerful
processing capability of today’s DSP chips, this
allows the UPS to evolve into an all-in-one complete
power distribution and monitoring center. Not only is
your critical load insured of the most reliable and
constant DC/AC power available, but the user may
now continuously monitor the status of the various
operational parameters in the system.
The AC utility source is connected to the power
switching and control electronics when the input
switch is closed. The input line is filtered, rectified
and power factor corrected for enhanced
performance without disturbing other equipment that
may share the same utility circuit.
The DSP processor controls an Inverter Generator
that produces a clean, low harmonic, AC output
sinewave for continuous power applications, while
the DC output stages provide continuous low ripple
power.
When the input AC utility line fails, the battery circuit
within this system takes over to ensure continuous
power. Only when properly rated input power is
returned, does the unit reconnect the input source
back to the system.
The unit is connected to a Com port which allows the
user to monitor and set operating parameters. With
a simple link to a personal computer using the
“SP560_SP1250LE UPS software program”, the
user can view the event history of the power
distribution system. More sophisticated users may
choose to implement the optional SNMP package to
allow full Network Power Management capability.

INSTALLATION
The system is lightweight and can be easily moved.
Some important points to consider when positioning
a unit for operation:
The installation site should maintain an ambient air
temperature of less than 165oF (74oC). When the
environment for the system remains cooler during
operation, there is less stress on the batteries and
the internal electronics.
The air inlets, vents and fan should not be
obstructed or blocked in any way. The more
breathing space the system has, the cooler it
operates.
The air should remain free from excessive dust
and chemical fumes.
Once a location has been selected and the unit is
installed, it is ready for operation.
If used as an UPS, allow at least 24 hours, after the
system is first installed, to fully charge the external
batteries to a maximum state.

Page 11
OPERATION
nce the system has been properly installed, it is ready to operate. The following procedures will explain
how to start-up the system while plugged into rated electrical power and also how to start-up with no AC
power available.
Normal Operation on AC Start-Up:
Verify that the unit is plugged into properly rated electrical power.
Plug in External Batteries to DC input.(if used as an UPS)
Position the System Switch to the ON position.
The system will quickly beep three times.
AC Input LED will be Green.
Battery LED should be on Green if batteries are connected.
You will now have 120VAC available at the AC outlet.
To turn off the load, press and hold the Load Button until the AC Out LED turns off. Approx. 2 seconds.
Battery Operation after AC Start-Up:
Unplug the unit from the standard wall outlet.
The AC IN LED will turn Red.
An Audible beep will sound.
The Alarm LED will flash Red after approx. 10 seconds.
To silence the Audible alarm, quickly press and release either the Cold Start or Load button.
If the unit is allowed to operate further, it will time out and shut off completely. If power were to return, the unit will
automatically restart and return to the condition it was in at the moment it went into Battery Mode.
DC Start Operation (Cold Start)
If no utility power is available at the time backup power is required, the unit may be started to accomplish
abbreviated tasks. The limitations of the battery prevent extended operations at full load.
Position the System Switch to the ON position.
Push and hold in the COLD START switch.
You now will have 120VAC available at the AC outlet.
Loading the System
The system can be loaded up to full rated load. If too much load is applied, the audible alarm will sound. If this
increased load is not removed within a few seconds, the unit will discontinue output operation and latch into an
alarm condition. The audible alarm will continue to sound and the ALARM LED will light. Reducing the load and
cycling the System Power Switch OFF then ON can reset the system.
