power source. Installation, operation, and calibration are the subjects covered.
At this time, there are three models available in the ACX Series:
Model
Maximum Output Power VA
110ACX
1000 VA
115ACX
1500 VA
118ACX
1800 VA
All ACX models are configured with a digital UPC (Universal Programmable Controller).
Detailed operating instruction and control and metering specifications are described in the UPC
Series Operation Manual which is supplied with the unit.

1.2 SAFETY NOTICES
The ACX is capable of transferring very large amounts of electrical energy very quickly. This
basic quality is fundamental to any high-performance power source. The warnings and cautions
listed below should be observed at all times.
WARNINGS are conditions which are hazardous to user personnel. All warnings throughout
this manual will be formatted as shown below. A condition which is hazardous to both personnel
and equipment will be issued as a warning.
CAUTION statements indicate a dangerous situation which may damage the equipment but is
not a threat to life or limb. Cautions will assume the format shown on page 3. All cautions
should be rigorously observed.
CONSIGNES de SECURITÉ
La ACX est en mesure de transférer des forts niveaux d’énergie électrique et cela de manière
très rapide. Cette caractéristique est une qualité fondamentale pour ce type d’équipement haute
performance. Les règles de sécurité, avertissements et précautions décris ci-dessous doivent
être observés à tout moment.
Attention! (Avertissements): conditions dangereuses pour le personnel utilisateur. Tout les
avertissements dans ce manuel seront formattés et indiqués comme ci-dessous. Toute
