ESCRIPTION

 

The UB40.241 is an uninterruptible power supply controller (DC-
UPS controller), which is used in combination with a 24V power 
supply  and  an  external  24V-battery  pack  to  bridge  power 
failures.  When  the  power  supply  provides  sufficient  voltages, 
the  DC-UPS  controller  charges  the  battery.  When  the  power 
supply voltage fails, the energy stored in the battery is released 
to the DC bus in a regulated process. 

A unique feature is the battery charger, which can balance two 
unmatched  batteries  and  which  includes  two  independent 
battery  testers  for  the  two  12V  batteries  connected  in  series. 
This  feature  makes  matching  batteries  unnecessary  and  allows 
for precise battery charging, testing and optimized usage of the 
battery capacity to achieve the longest battery service life. 

The  device  includes  various  battery  diagnostic  functions 
including a battery-low pre-warning signal that ensure a reliable 
operation  of  the  entire  system.  Furthermore,  temperature 
controlled  charging  extends  the  life  of  the  batteries.  It  also 
includes  a  selectable  buffer  time  limiter  as  well  as 

Ready

Buffering

  and 

Replace  battery

  contacts.  For  safety  and 

maintenance, an inhibit-input signal is included to enable phases 
without enforced buffering.
