Multi-stage, temperature compensated battery charger.
The Power Interface Module 30 contains a magnetic contactor for back feed protection and to
facilitate hot swapping of the electronics module. It is the primary interface between the UPS and
the cabinet.
The PIM houses the relays connected to the Flash controllers. These electro-mechanical relays are
controlled by signals carried to the PIM from the UPS’s SIGNAL port. These logic signals are
converted through optical switches into 120VAC levels, which are then used to switch the electro-
mechanical relays.
The Power Interface Module 60 contains two mercury contactors for back feed protection and to
facilitate hot swapping of the electronics module. The PIM 60 does not include the electro-
mechanical relays for the Low Battery and Timer function.
The Battery Module. The battery is comprised of one or more strings of 8 individual 12V batteries
connected in series for a total string voltage of 96V DC nominal.
The batteries are extreme temperature, deep cycle, AGM/VRLA (Absorbed Glass Mat/ Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) batteries that have been field proven and tested by the U.S. military. The
OutPost
TM
batteries supplied by Clary Corporation are certified to operate at extreme temperatures
from –40
°
C to +74
°
C.
The batteries are provided with appropriate interconnect wiring harness. Optional battery mounting
trays and brackets are available.
The interconnect cable connects to the base module via a quick-release circular connector.
The UPS module includes a charger that replenishes the Battery Pack whenever possible and
required. This charger operates with a maximum charging current of 0.6A at 96V. An optional “Fast
Charger” module plugs into the UPS module to increase the charging current to over 3.5A at 96V.
Mounting/ Configuration
NEMA Style: mounting method is shelf-mount or wall-mount.170 Style: Mounting method is 19”
rack-mount. Shelf angles or rails, typically supplied by others, are available as optional
accessories.
For purposes of safety and proper operation, the circular battery connector has interlocking pins to
prevent turn-on if battery system is not connected, and to shut off the UPS should the battery
system be disconnected.
Battery construction includes heavy-duty, inter-cell connections for low-impedance between cells,
and heavy-duty plates to withstand shock and vibration.
