6.2 Glossary
Backup time Time that the connected equipment can operate on battery power if AC-input power
fails.
Bar graph Device on the front panel indicating the percent remaining backup time or the percent
load.
Battery module (additional) Additional battery modules connected in parallel to increase the UPS backup time.
Booster mode Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is increased if it drops
below a value set in the personalization parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.
De-energized The UPS must be physically disconnected from the AC-input power.
Equipment Devices and systems connected to the UPS output.
Fader mode Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is decreased if it rises
above a value set in the personalization parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.
Input circuit breaker Circuit breaker protecting the upstream distribution system against UPS faults.
Output circuit breaker Circuit breaker protecting the UPS against high overloads or faults on the connected
equipment.
Personalization The parameters for a number of UPS functions may be modified using the UPS Driver
software to adapt UPS operation to user needs.
RS232 communications port For UPS connection to a computer via the serial port.
Programmable receptacles Pulsar Evolution has two programmable receptacles. They may be used for sequential
start-up of protected equipment, shedding of non-critical loads during operation on
battery power or management of operating priorities to provide the most critical devices
with more backup time before battery power runs out. These receptacles may be
programmed using the Solution-Pac software on the CD-ROM supplied with the UPS.
Receptacles Receptacle that allows you to connect the equipment you want to protect.
Solution-Pac MGE UPS SYSTEMS safety, set-up and supervision software suite on the CD-ROM
supplied with the UPS.
UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply.
UPS Driver Communications software on the CD-ROM supplied with the UPS. It may be used to
personalize the default settings.
USB communications port For UPS connection to a computer via the USB port.
