1.2 The CFR Advantage

ADVANCED POWER PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY

Power protection devices can be judged by the type and quality of

power they provide. Alpha CFR Uninterruptible Power Supplies provide
continuous, conditioned “computer-grade” AC power to electronic equipment
such as Computer Systems, Point of Sale Terminals, Process Controls,
Telecommunications, CATV Headend, Broadband LAN, Manufacturing
Control Systems, Critical Care and Hospital Lab Equipment.

SURGE AND SPIKE REJECTION

Alpha's proven design virtually eliminates surges and spikes. The

Alpha CFR UPS provides spike attenuation of 2000 to 1 and meets the
requirements of IEEE 587 / ANSI 62.41.

REGULATION

Unlike many standby power systems, which regulate output voltage

only when operating from their battery backup, the Alpha CFR UPS
constantly maintains +1% output regulation without using precious battery
power. Even with input voltage fluctuations as great as +10% or -25%, the
output remains constant, regardless of load.

ISOLATION

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI and RFI) can

damage semiconductors and have devastating effects on critical data. The
CFR UPS input is

totally isolated from the output to provide maximum pro-

tection from this type of interference. Measured in decibels (dB) of attenua-
tion, Alpha's CFR achieves up to 120 dB common mode, and 60 dB normal
mode.

EXTENDED BACKUP CAPABILITY

Alpha's EBP Series External Battery Packs allow you to greatly extend

your backup capabilities and power through long utility outages. Completely
self-contained and pre-wired, simply plug the EBP cabinet into your CFR and
forget about it. EBP Series External Battery Packs can also be ordered with
an optional, external charger to greatly reduce battery recharge times.
