Alpha Technologies CFR 1500, CFR 2000, CFR 2500, CFR 3000 - Manual (Page 9)

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, Cable TV 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 protection from this type of inter-
ference. Measured in decibels (dB) of attenuation, 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.

6.8 Repair Instructions
Before returning a unit to Alpha Technologies for repair, a Return Material Authoriza-
tion (RMA) should first be obtained from Alpha's Customer Service Department. The RMA
number should be clearly marked on the unit’s original shipping container. If the original
container is no longer available, the UPS should be packed with at least 3 inches of shock-
absorbent material. NOTE: Do not use popcorn-type packing material. Returns should be
prepaid and insured (COD and freight collect can not be accepted).
ALPHA TECHNOLOGIES DOES NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE
CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER PACKAGING OF RETURNED UNITS.
