PIM

The Power Interface Module (PIM) connects between the cabinet and the UPStealth®.  The PIM allows the UPStealth® to be 

removed or disconnected from the cabinet without removing the power from the cabinet.  The UPStealth® connects to the PIM 

with a plastic circular connector making it easy to disconnect the UPStealth® from the cabinet.  The utility power is connected 

to the AC INPUT Terminal Block and the cabinet is connected to the “AC TO THE CABINET” Terminal Block.  With the PIM switch in 

the “NORMAL” position, power to the cabinet comes through the UPStealth® and can provide battery backup.  When the switch is 

in the “BYPASS” position, power to the cabinet comes from the AC INPUT terminal block and the UPStealth® does not supply any 

power to the cabinet.  The PIM mounts to a rail in the cabinet with the mounting brackets supplied.

User Interfaces

There are two primary ways to directly interact with an installed UPStealth® while standing in front of the tra

ffi

c cabinet:  the 

front panel LCD display and keypad on the front of the Inverter/Controller or by connecting through the Ethernet port with a 

laptop with the installed RTi Connect™ desktop application. Once connected through the Ethernet port, the technician can see 

and manage the UPStealth® parameters menu.  In addition, a technician can also connect to an installed UPStealth® remotely, as 

long as the installed UPStealth® is connected to a network (see RTi Connect™ Manual).

Inverter/Controller User Display 

 

The main user interface is the Inverter/Controller front panel keypad and the LCD Display.  By moving the cursor on the display 

with the “ENTER” key, you can highlight and select menu items.  The arrow keys allow you to change the value of the item 

selected.

The LCD Display has several screens that allow the user to see all of the status information or set operating parameters of the 

system.  The following is an overview of each display:
