3. Introduction
This On-Line-Series is an uninterruptible power supply incorporating
double-converter technology. It provides perfect protection specifically
for Novell, Windows NT and UNIX servers.
The double-converter principle eliminates all mains power disturbances.
A rectifier converts the alternating current from the socket outlet to direct
current. This direct current charges the batteries and powers the
inverter. On the basis of this D voltage, the inverter generates a
sinusoidal A voltage, which permanently supplies the loads.
omputers and periphery are thus powered entirely by the mains
voltage. In the event of power failure, the maintenance-free batteries
power the inverter.
This manual covers the UPS listed as follows. Please confirm whether it
is the model you intend to purchase by performing a visual inspection of
the Model No. on the rear panel of the UPS.
