UPS EVO TM
2. INTRODUCTION
UPS EVO TM
The UPS EVO TM (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological
research aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost.
The EVO TM units are advanced ON-LINE UPS built specifically to protect your computer from
any irregularities in the AC line (for example blackouts, brownouts, over voltages, micro-
interruptions) which often cause damage to hardware and software.
All that is possible because EVO TM is a Double-Conversion ON-LINE UPS.
Under normal AC line condition UPS EVO TM provides an automatic output voltage regulation
from the Rectifier and Inverter blocks and filters out frequently occurring electrical
disturbances (high voltage transients, spikes, interferences, etc.), thus protecting the devices
connected to its outlets. During a power failure, UPS EVO TM continues supplying adequate AC
power (with a true sine wave) to all connected devices through its internal batteries and by its
DC/AC converter (Inverter).
UPS EVO TM protects the devices from accidental overload or Inverter fault by an AUTOMATIC
BYPASS that directly connects the AC input line with its outlets.
The EVO TM models are factory-equipped with a RS-232 interface which may be used for notify
to a computer a power failure or a low battery condition: this allows automatic data backup
during an extended blackout with the most common operating systems (Windows, Novell,
Linux, etc). Thanks to Interface RS232, UPS EVO TM can communicate the several made
measurements (input and output voltage, batteries, absorption, frequency…), and can also be
programmed in order to start-up or shutdown automatically at fixed times.
