Introduction
The RT-UPS is an uninterruptible power supply that can supply 12 V at 2 A for up to 1
minute. It has been designed specifically to overcome brown-out problems in vehicles
while the engine is cranking or if the driver stalls the engine and the ignition is turned
off. It is suitable for use with the Inertial+GNSS Navigation Systems from OxTS
including the RT and Inertial+ series.
Product features
The features of the RT-UPS are:
Suitable for use in vehicles.
Brown-out and black-out protections during cranking or when the engine stalls.
Wide input voltage range from 9 V to 48 V, including standard 12 V, 24 V and
42 V systems.
Charges the battery at the same time as supplying the output.
Isolated output.
Transient protection for equipment.
Description
RT-UPS is designed to enhance the use of OxTS’s Inertial+GNSS Navigation System
product range. The wide input voltage range allows use of most of the common
automotive power supplies to be used, for example 12 V, 24 V and 42 V.
The RT-UPS turns on when input power supply is on. If the input power supply is
removed or drops too low then the RT-UPS will supply power to the output for up to 1
minute. Power is supplied from an internal battery and the output voltage is not
interrupted. The RT-UPS keeps outputting a stable voltage during vehicle cranking, if
the cigar socket is temporarily removed or if there are transients on the vehicle power
supply.
While the input power supply is absent a warning buzzer will sound and the RT-UPS
will continue to supply power to the output. If the RT-UPS does not detect a load on
the output then the RT-UPS will turn off immediately and the buzzer will stop.
If the input power supply is restored within 1 minute then the RT-UPS will revert back
to the vehicles power supply and charge the battery (if necessary).
