SMP Series - Overview

SUP Series UPS has the unique ability to operate from either
120Vac domestic or 230Vac international utility power, while providing
120Vac domestic output power. The SUP does not perform frequency
conversion, however it is the ideal solution for the international traveller
requring voltage conversion.
The Line-interactive or Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) feature provides
output voltage regulation, while the UPS is operating from the utility power.
This keeps the connected equipment's operating voltage within reasonable
limits during abnormal utility power conditions such as brown-outs, high line
voltages and surges.
All SUP models are microprocessor controlled. A Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) is conveniently located on the front panel. This display gives
immediate and detailed UPS and power information without having to
connect an expensive monitoring computer. An intelligent RS-232 computer
interface port is also located on the UPS rear panel in the event remote
monitoring or unattended computer shutdown is required. An optional
external SNMP/HTTP agent is available, giving the ability to manage the
UPS remotely across a LAN, WAN or via the Internet.
Unlike many other line-interactive UPSs on the market, the SUP models
produce a sinewave output voltage, just like the incoming utility power. This
assures your delicate electronic equipment will always receive the sinewave
power it was designed for.
All models have an advanced two-stage battery charger providing safe, fast
battery recharging while yielding a longer battery life.
All models have advanced surge protection circuitry to prevent damaging
power line transients from reaching your equipment. Additional surge protect-
ed, RJ11 telephone jacks are provided on the UPS rear panel.
