Model Scope/General Description 

The  La  Marche  A-Series  UPS  System  (AUPS) is  an  Uninterruptible  Power  Supply  system  designed  to  power 
critical AC loads. Modular in concept, it utilizes separate rectifier and inverter components allowing for simplicity 

in sizing and growth for various requirements. The inverter section is compact and supplies a sine wave output. 
It provides reliability through transistor switching and a ferroresonant transformer which has inherent voltage 
regulation,  output  filtering,  and  overload  protection.  The  rectifier  section  uses  controlled  ferroresonant 

technology,  with  separate  adjustable  voltage  settings  for  float  and  equalize.  It  provides  high  efficiency,  high 
power factor, short circuit protection, and an integral alarm package. 

 
Understanding the Model Number 

The  AUPS  model  number  is  coded  to  describe  the  options  that  are  included.  Find  the  model  number  on  the 
nomenclature nameplate of the system. Then, follow the chart to determine the configuration of your system. 

 

 
Optional Accessories Included in the System 

This unit may have been outfitted with a number of optional accessories or option packages. To determine the 

options included (if any), refer to the cover page of the manual package. If the manual package that is included 
with the unit is no longer available, contact La Marche and provide the model or serial number of the  unit to 
receive a list of the included accessories.
