SG Series UPS - Overview
True Regenerative On-Line Design
As new and innovative technologies have become the backbone of today's businesses,
maximum system availability is critical and downtime is more expensive than ever. Increasingly, busi-
nesses need a UPS that not only protects against blackouts, but also virtually eliminates more frequent
and subtle power disturbances. Surges, sags, line noise and brownouts can
disrupt proper operation of sensitive equipment. These disturbances may also create
unnecessary production, service, and data recovery costs.
A True Regenerative On-Line UPS provides the highest level of protection against the widest spectrum of
power problems. The incoming AC utility source is converted to a regulated DC voltage. From this DC
voltage, a new AC voltage is regenerated, providing continuous, clean, tightly regulated power to your
equipment. Line-interactive and Off-line designs leave your
equipment connected directly to dirty utility power. They only provide minimal transient, voltage and
backup protection. If your equipment operation is "Mission Critical", a true double
conversion On-Line UPS, such as Falcon
® Electric's SG Series TM UPS Plus ® , is the only clear choice.
Input Power Factor Correction
All SG Series UPS Plus models include state-of-the-art Input Power Factor Correction. This greatly
reduces the amount of current demanded from your building wiring system, yielding a highly efficient,
"building friendly" UPS.
Microprocessor Control
Falcon Electric's SG Series UPS incorporates advanced microprocessor technology. This
technology makes possible a high level of internal UPS control and management. With the
supplied UPSILON
® software, all SG Series UPS models support unattended shutdown, management,
data logging, and self-diagnostics. The software supports MS Windows ® 95, 98, NT, 2000, 2000 Server,
ME, XP, Novell Netware ® 5 & 6, LINUX and FreeBSD. UPSILON for UNIX supports most popular UNIX
platforms and OS versions.
SNMP/HTTP Remote Management Support
Our SNMP/HTTP Agent board provides remote management and monitoring over any Ethernet LAN,
WAN or the Internet utilizing a 10BaseT-type connection. The optional SNMP/HTTP agent installs via an
option slot located behind a cover plate on the back panel of every SG Series model.
Extended Battery Bank Option
All SG Series models have a continuous duty inverter and support the addition of optional external bat-
tery/charger packs. Whether your application requires a few additional minutes or hours, the SG Series
will be ready. Falcon also offers optional battery charger upgrades for faster recharging. Please specify
your extended battery and charger requirements at the time of your initial order.
Frequency Converter Option
With a factory modification at the time of order, any SG Series model can be configured for use as an
international frequency converter. This makes the SG Series UPS Plus an ideal choice for worldwide
power applications. Without this modification, all SG series models will detect the incoming utility line fre-
quency and automatically set its output frequency to match.
