Congratulations! By purchasing Deltec's
PowerRite Pro Uninterruptible PowerSystem
(UPS), you now own superiorquality power
protection equipment. Your sensitive electrical
equipment will be protected from problems
associated with poor quality AC power, or a
complete loss ofAC power. The PowerRite Pro
UPS protects personal and business computer
systems, workstations, file servers, small
medical equipment, and telecommunications
equipmentwhile providing outstandingperfor-
mance and reliability.
Why is the PowerRite Pro One of
the Best?
Compad and Easy to Install
The PowerRite Pro UPS is designed to be
compact and easy to install. Because of its small
size, the PowerRite Pro is easy to move and has
a small footprint. Standard plugs and recep-
tacles combined with an easy-to-understand
manual make the PowerRite Pro very easy to
install.
Advanced Battery Management
Advanced Battery Management (ABM™)
prolongs battery life and speeds up recharge
time to give youmaximum reliability. ABM™
also gives you up to 60 day's warningpriorto
the end ofuseful battery life.
Boost and Buck
The PowerRite Pro UPS uses a "Boost and
Buck" tap system for greater output regulation.
If the output voltage is too low, the system
gives it a "boost" to meet the output
requirements. If the output voltage is too high,
the system "bucks" down the voltage to meet
the output requirements.

2 Introduction
a -
Communication Capability
The PowerRite ProUPS includes an ~232 port
which allows theunit to report its operational
status to a host computer. The Power Rite Pro is
also fully compatible with Deltec'sFailSafe III and
LanSafe III UPSmonitoringsoftware.
Bi-Directional Filter
Anotheradvantage is the bi-directional filter for
superior power conditioning. Thebi-directional
filter creates filter protectionto and from the
critical load and the power line. If the load creates
electrical noise, it is filtered so that the noise is not
passed on to the line. If there is noise on the line, it
is also filtered so that the noise is not passed on to
the load.
Auto-Frequency Selection (International only)
The PowerRite ProUPS has Auto-Frequency
Selection which calculates theappropriate
operatingfrequency by analyzing the frequency
of the line. This allows the user to connect the
same equipment even when moving to different
locations.
No Line/No Load - Auto Shutdown
To prevent the batteries from discharging when
the power fails and the load is less than 5%, the.
PowerRite Pro UPS shuts down automatically.
You can disable this function by changing the
setup DIP Switches on the UPS.
