UPS Introduction
The ZincBlue2 UPS 1000W and ZincBlue2 UPS 1500W (ZincBlue2 UPS 1000W/1500W) are 1000 Watt and 1500 Watt
UPS systems that utilizes an Intelligent Two Stage Operation with an oscilloscope function and is developed to
operate with nickel-zinc batteries. It is designed for installation in all signalized and ITS cabinets and can be rack
mounted in 2U - 19'' EIA racks or shelf mounted.
ZincBlue2 UPS 1000W/1500W functions using an Intelligent Two Stage operation.
Stage 1:
This stage includes Line Conditioner, Waveform Monitoring and Switchover to battery backup functions. The
line conditioner function attenuates surges and spikes on incoming utility power. Oscilloscope functionality
continuously measures the incoming AC waveform and monitors for voltage, frequency and waveform anomalies
outside of user programmed thresholds. When any voltage, waveform or frequency threshold is exceeded, transfer
time to battery backup is a rapid <33ms (typical). The triggering event waveform is 500ms in length captured with
250ms pre-event and 250ms post event sine cycles, along with a day/date time stamp in the event log. Up to 1000
events with waveforms can be stored in the event log and accessed through the browser-based ZincBlue2 Software.
When any of these thresholds are exceeded, transfer time to battery backup is <33ms.
Stage 2:
This stage includes Waveform Monitoring and Return to AC Power functions. Continued vigilance by the
oscilloscope function in Stage 1 monitors the incoming utility AC line for recovery within the user-defined thresholds.
The voltage, waveform anomalies and frequency must all be within their threshold limits prior to returning to utility
AC power. If any one of the three parameters exceed their thresholds within the line qualify time of 3, 10 or 30 second
windows, then the time window restarts once all parameters are again within their proper ranges.
