The Pinnacle Plus Series Advantage
The Pinnacle Plus series is an indoor Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that uses advanced
technology to protect computer networks, telecommunications installations and other vital instru-
ments from power line disturbances.
The Pinnacle Plus series uses a double conversion circuit and a digitized microprocessor to
provide continuous power to the loads. It offers complete protection against brownouts, spikes,
sags, voltage transients and frequency changes.
!
Automatic Shutdown/Restart
The Pinnacle Plus series shuts down when the batteries are discharged, preventing damage
to the unit. When line power is requalified, the Pinnacle automatically restarts, providing
power to the loads and recharging the batteries.
!
RS–232 Communication
The Pinnacle Plus series can be remotely monitored and controlled.
!
LCD/LED Display Panel
The LCD/LED display provides “at-a-glance” monitoring.
!
Battery Charge Display
The LCD shows the battery % charge, battery backup time and battery voltage.
!
Load Display
The LCD shows the unit’s % loading and the loading in watts and VA.
!
Automatic Bypass
When the Pinnacle Plus detects an internal fault such as deep battery discharge or an over-
load, it automatically uses its built-in bypass circuit to switch the load to line power.
!
Fully Digitized Microprocessor Controlled
Pure sine wave output with less than 3% THD.
!
Cold Start
If there is no line at the input, the Pinnacle automatically provides battery power to the load.
!
Load Shedding
The power management software allows less important equipment to be turned off during
power outages to save battery power for the critical loads.
