UPSI-IP-1 series | UPSI- IP-2 series
3 Intended use – description
This device is built for use under difficult and extreme environmental conditions. The
device is intended for professional use in applications such as industrial control, office,
communication and measurement technology. It must not be used in devices or equip-
ment where a malfunction will cause serious injury or endanger human life.
The functional purpose of the UPS is bypassing short-term and long-lasting power
failures and/or fluctuations. However, it may also be used for user-scheduled power-
downs of mains and cycles, e.g. replacing larger batteries in vehicles, while continuing
to power the electronics, opening or closing safety valves after a malfunction or shutting
down a system. As storage media, which are also mounted in the product housing in
addition to the UPS board, serve in series and / or parallel connected supercapacitors
(also called supercaps, ultracapacitors or EDLC) or Li-ion battery packs with LiFePO4
technology.
An important characteristic of the UPS is the fact, that the output voltage is constantly
regulated during backup operation without dropping when the accu voltage decreases.
For an increase of lifetime the batterypacks will be charged quick by optimized charging
algorithms.
The main difference between the UPSI-IP-1 / IP-2 devices and the standard models UPSI-
1208 / -2406 / UPSI-1208D / -2406D (for DIN rail mounting) is that the housings have IP67
protection. This means that the components inside (UPS board, storage medium and
DC / DC con filter board (just -xxUW devices)) are completely protected against
contact and dust (IP6x) as well as against water penetration during temporary immersion
(IPx7). It is expressly pointed out that the devices are not suitable for permanent operation
under water!
