1.2 OPERATING MODES
Clary’s SP Series Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) are designed for powering traffic &
pedestrian indications, plus critical traffic control devices (i.e., controllers, modems, CMU’s,
etc.). The power system consists of three elements, which work together to provide critical
loads with continuous, conditioned, regulated, sinusoidal waveform power that is free from
disturbances such as spikes, surges, brownouts or blackouts. These elements are the:
1. UPS Module – (UPS)
2. Power Interface Module - (PIM)
3. Battery Module
Power loads in the traffic intersection (e.g. LED signals) receive standby backup power
through a highly reliable contactor housed in the PIM. Backup power is achieved with a set
of rechargeable, SVRLA (sealed valve-regulated lead-acid), maintenance-free, AGM
(absorbed glass mat), batteries. The complete UPS system is controlled by an onboard
digital microprocessor at all times.
There are two basic modes of operation:
•Standby Operating Mode
•Continuous Operating Mode
In both modes, the UPS continuously generates 120V AC power. The selected mode
determines when and how the UPS generated power is applied to the loads in the traffic
cabinet.
Standby Operating Mode:
During Standby operation, utility (AC) power enters the PIM and passes through a normally
closed, contactor then directly out to the cabinet power bus, PDA, etc. This utility power is
used to power the intersection until a power disturbance occurs at which time, the contactor
is switched, routing the UPS generated AC power to the cabinet power bus. Typically, the
UPS will then be drawing its power from the battery pack. This operation continues until
good utility power is restored, after which, the contactors switch back to route the utility
power to the loads.
With Standby operation, 0.5 seconds (user programmable from 30ms to 2.5sec) after an
outage is detected, standby power is connected to the system and the Flash Command is
initiated, forcing the cabinet into Flash Mode operation. Depending on the size of the
battery system being used and the loading on the power system, backup power can
continue for several hours.
When utility power returns, (or upon application of generator power) the SP Series UPS
waits 30 seconds to be sure that the utility power has stabilized. After this built-in safety

THE CONTINUOUS POWER COMPANY
Page 8
delay utility power is restored to the cabinet. The battery charger then recharges the
batteries in typically 15 to 20 times the duration of the outage or battery discharge time
(whichever is shorter).
The UPS can be set to force a break in power of 2.5 seconds after utility power returns. This
is optional (not the default) and is used in intersections when a hard-restart needs to be
applied to various devices.
With Standby operation, the ONLY required change to cabinet wiring occurs by the
introduction of the PIM. Removal and Replacement (R&R) of the UPS module is quick and
easy even with traffic control devices (TCD’s) connected to the UPS. If no TCD’s are
plugged into the UPS module (i.e. being used for LED flash backup only), R&R of the UPS
module (for upgrades or in the rare event of UPS failure) can be done without powering
down the cabinet or otherwise affecting cabinet operation in any way.
Continuous Operating Mode:
Continuous operation is used for low power applications such as full LED intersections,
power to the intersection is continuously conditioned and backed up by the UPS. Within the
limitation of the battery capacity, virtually all brownout and power outages are eliminated.
Additional Notes on Operating Modes:
•A generator can also be connected up and fed through the PIM to provide indefinite
auxiliary backup of the intersection. (OPTIONAL)
•The SP Series Traffic UPS is designed for compatibility with, and complete
transparency to, all traffic signal cabinet functions including police panel operation.
Flash Operating Modes:( For PIM 30 Model only)
The PIM includes three (3) sets of normally-open (NO) and normally-closed (NC) relay style
contacts. The contacts are intended to connect to the Flash controllers or other devices in
the traffic cabinet. The contacts are actuated at various times as a means of signaling these
devices of important aspects of current operation. These three relay contact sets are labeled
and switched as follows:
Labeled Usage / Indication Notes
On-Batt UPS is operating from battery power.
Timer UPS has been on battery longer than programmable
threshold. Used as notice of shutdown coming from
low-battery cutoff.
Default time period is 2 hours.
Programmable from 1 to 255
minutes.
Low-Batt UPS is operating from battery and the battery
voltage has fallen below a programmable threshold.
Used as notice of shutdown coming from low-
battery cutoff.
Default voltage is 92V (about
40% capacity.)

INVERTER - This indicator identifies the status of the regenerated, conditioned protected
output power. This indicator will stay ON as long as protected power is available from the
power inverter generator.
AC IN - The utility input indicator that identifies status of the line voltage. If the line voltage
is within the specified range, it will remain lit. If the AC input is out of range, but present,
the indicator will slowly blink.
LOAD LEVEL - This is the system output capacity status bar. The number of LEDS
illuminated indicates an approximate percentage of system load. All green LEDS
illuminated would indicate full load. The top red LED illuminates on over-loads.
BATTERY LEVEL - This is the battery status bar graph. During normal operation, this bar
graph will show the charging of the battery; all indicators lit will represent a fully charged
battery. During battery operation, this bar graph represents a discharge meter indicating
less battery time available as each light goes OFF.
COLD START - A momentary push-button switch to activate the system in the event no
utility power is available. The system will be allowed to start up by using power from the
battery. Depress this switch, the indicator above it will light, and hold it in until the audible
alarm beeps once. The system will maintain a load for a period of time depending upon the
condition of the battery. DC INPUT breaker must be ON.
ALARM - This is a fault indicator that will light in the event that the inverter generator is non-
operable. This could be due to an over-temperature situation or an inverter malfunction.
ALARM SILENT / TEST - A momentary push-button switch that controls two different
functions depending on the mode of operation. In the normal mode of operation, if this
switch is depressed and held in, the above indicator will blink. Once it stops blinking, the
unit will perform an internal 1 to 2 minute battery check. Once the test is completed, if the
battery is below standards, the system will indicate that the battery needs replacing. The
system will not run this battery test unless the battery is detected as fully charged. The
audible alarm on the unit will be disabled. This is set at the factory.
NOTE - Cold Start and Alarm Silent switches must be held in for at least two
seconds to engage their function. This is to prevent any inadvertent switch
operation.

HOUR METER - A cumulative run time meter that shows the total battery run time for the life
of the unit.
EVENT COUNTER - A meter that counts the number of times the system has gone into
battery operation. The Event Counter also increments each time the unit is turned off and
on by the SYSTEM POWER SWITCH.
RESET- A momentary pushbutton switch that resets the Event Counter to zero.
UPS OUTPUT PRESENT - A green LED that is illuminated to indicate fully conditioned and
continuous output AC power is present at the output receptacle.
RS232 - A RJ45 connector that outputs true RS232 communications signals.
UPS OUTPUT - A NEMA type duplex, 5-20R output connector that provides continuous
power. This receptacle is connected to the bypass line when the inverter is not running.
BYPASS - A 20A protective pop out circuit breaker in the bypass line of the continuous
output circuit. Protects the UPS OUTPUT 5-20R connector noted above.
SIGNAL - A DB-9 subminiature, female connector that outputs the open-collector signal
contacts that generate a low state during utility interrupt, low battery and inverter off
conditions.
AC INPUT - A circular locking connector provided for AC power to and from the UPS.
DC INPUT - A circular locking connector provided for battery power to the UPS.
NOTE – For safety purposes, these AC INPUT and DC INPUT connectors are
tied into an interlock system which ensures that if either connector is
disconnected, the unit will discontinue operation.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 CHARACTERISTICS
Overview
The Clary SP Series Traffic UPS is a turnkey, true on-line, power conditioner and battery backup or
uninterruptible power system (UPS) designed for the extreme environments found in traffic cabinets
(-40 to + 74 deg C).
The Clary SP Series, with its standard 41Ahr battery pack, is capable of operating, a full LED
intersection for over an hour at 1400W (watts) output. A typical intersection consuming 450W can
be powered for approximately 4 hours. In Red-Flash operation, which consume only about 300W,
over 6 hours of backup is possible. These times assume fully charged batteries at an ambient
temperature of 25C.
Operation
The Traffic UPS is capable of producing – simultaneously -- full regenerated and regulated, true
sine wave power, with standby and continuous AC outputs. The Power Interface Module (PIM) is
the link between the utility power, the UPS power, and the loads.
When utility power is adequate, the PIM routes that power to the loads. Upon loss of utility power
the Traffic UPS routes UPS generated power to the loads. In the event of UPS failure and/or battery
depletion, the PIM will ensure that the UPS will drop out and, return to utility power when available.
The traffic control system will then default to normal operational mode.
The Power Interface Module (PIM) enables removal and replacement of the Traffic UPS without
shutting down the traffic control system (i.e. “hot swap” capability). Connectors are equipped with a
“safety interlock” feature.

THE CONTINUOUS POWER COMPANY
Page 15
For 170 type cabinets, upon loss of power the Traffic UPS can actuate the existing Flash Transfer
Relays (FTRs) and Mercury Contactor (MC) to allow the traffic control system to put the cabinet into
Flash Mode operation.
Existing Flasher Modules and Flash Transfer Relays are utilized. The Traffic UPS does not
duplicate or take over flash operation or flash transfer relay functions.
The Traffic UPS is capable of providing continuous, fully regenerated, conditioned, regulated,
sinusoidal (AC) power to selected devices such as signal controllers, counters, modems,
communications hubs, NTCIP adapters, video equipment, etc.
To facilitate emergency crews and police activities, the Traffic UPS is compatible with police panel
functions (i.e. “Signals OFF” switch must kill power to the field wiring even when on UPS/Battery
power).
Utility Voltage Windows and Battery Operation
The UPS operates from utility if the utility voltage is between 85 and 135 vac. When the utility falls
below 85 vac or climbs above 135 vac the UPS operates from the batteries. In the Standby modes
of operation, the PIM is activated when the utility is below 100 +/- 2 VAC or above 130 +/-2 VAC.
The UPS does draw from the batteries until the voltage is out of the previously stated limits.
There is a programmable noise rejection window, which specifies how the UPS system treats small
time-duration power glitches. Power disturbances must last at least 40ms to trigger change in
operation. Small disturbances on this order occur frequently due to many different conditions.
These disturbances, however, are not detrimental to traffic controllers. To minimize nuisance
switching this noise rejection window is implemented.
After operating in Standby mode, the UPS monitors the utility voltage. When this voltage is restored
to adequate conditions for 30 seconds, the UPS returns utility power to the cabinet.
Description
The Traffic UPS consists of three major components, the UPS Power Module, the Power Interface
Module, and the Battery System.
The UPS Power Module consists of the following:
•True on line, double conversion, pure sine wave, high frequency inverter utilizing IGBT
technology.
•Local individual indicators for battery status, load levels, battery run-time, and event counter.
•One DB9F connector (Signal) and a RJ45 connector (RS232) for remote signal alarms and true
RS232 monitoring and remote communications.

THE CONTINUOUS POWER COMPANY
Page 16
•Multi-stage, temperature compensated battery charger.
The Power Interface Module 30 contains a magnetic contactor for back feed protection and to
facilitate hot swapping of the electronics module. It is the primary interface between the UPS and
the cabinet.
The PIM houses the relays connected to the Flash controllers. These electro-mechanical relays are
controlled by signals carried to the PIM from the UPS’s SIGNAL port. These logic signals are
converted through optical switches into 120VAC levels, which are then used to switch the electro-
mechanical relays.
The Power Interface Module 60 contains two mercury contactors for back feed protection and to
facilitate hot swapping of the electronics module. The PIM 60 does not include the electro-
mechanical relays for the Low Battery and Timer function.
The Battery Module. The battery is comprised of one or more strings of 8 individual 12V batteries
connected in series for a total string voltage of 96V DC nominal.
The batteries are extreme temperature, deep cycle, AGM/VRLA (Absorbed Glass Mat/ Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) batteries that have been field proven and tested by the U.S. military. The
OutPostTM batteries supplied by Clary Corporation are certified to operate at extreme temperatures
from –40°C to +74°C.
The batteries are provided with appropriate interconnect wiring harness. Optional battery mounting
trays and brackets are available.
The interconnect cable connects to the base module via a quick-release circular connector.
The UPS module includes a charger that replenishes the Battery Pack whenever possible and
required. This charger operates with a maximum charging current of 0.6A at 96V. An optional “Fast
Charger” module plugs into the UPS module to increase the charging current to over 3.5A at 96V.
Mounting/ Configuration
NEMA Style: mounting method is shelf-mount or wall-mount.170 Style: Mounting method is 19”
rack-mount. Shelf angles or rails, typically supplied by others, are available as optional
accessories.
For purposes of safety and proper operation, the circular battery connector has interlocking pins to
prevent turn-on if battery system is not connected, and to shut off the UPS should the battery
system be disconnected.
Battery construction includes heavy-duty, inter-cell connections for low-impedance between cells,
and heavy-duty plates to withstand shock and vibration.
