BOSTON ... A new series of microprocessor-based uninterruptible power
|
||
|
|
systems, designed to protect networks and multiple computer installations,
|
||
|
|
has been developed by Acme Electric Corporation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Acme Electric's new SM Series of UPS units are being introduced in 650, 800
|
||
|
|
and 1400 VA power levels to match the requirements of most common LAN
|
||
|
|
installations, according to Daniel K. Corwin, vice president and general
|
||
|
|
manager of Acme Electric's Electronics Division. The user friendly UPS
|
||
|
|
units provide complete backup power protection in support of multiple
|
||
|
|
installations and network requirements. All units in the new SM Series are
|
||
|
|
compatible with Novell and LAN Manager networks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Among the features of the Acme Electric SM series is an RS-232 serial
|
||
|
|
communication interface for monitoring the UPS unit and the input line
|
||
|
|
condition. The units are built with a 20 percent voltage boost capability
|
||
|
|
that regulates voltage output during brownouts down to 90 VAC, without
|
||
|
|
switching to battery operation. This feature prolongs the life of the
|
||
|
|
battery.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Four LEDs indicate whether the unit is "on-line" or "on-backup", if the
|
||
|
|
batteries are charged or need to be replaced, if there is an overload
|
||
|
|
condition, or if the unit is in the boost mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SM Series also features a Multi-Stage Diagnostics test. In this mode,
|
||
|
|
the LED bar graph indicators clearly communicate utility frequency,
|
||
|
|
utility voltage, percent of full load on battery, as well as remaining
|
||
|
|
"back-up" run time available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The new UPS units carry one of the most comprehensive warranty policies in
|
||
|
|
the industry, with a five year warranty on the transformer, two years on
|
||
|
|
the electronics and one year on the internal battery, according to Corwin.

New SAFECON Software
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Acme Electric also will demonstrate its recently introduced SAFECOM
|
||
|
|
software program at Networld 92 Boston. SAFECOM was developed to provide
|
||
|
|
constant monitoring of the UPS units.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Designed to reside in the Novell server, SAFECOM guards against loss of
|
||
|
|
data due to power failure and low battery voltage. When a power
|
||
|
|
interruption is detected, the software system will safely shutdown the
|
||
|
|
file server and allow the network supervisor to close all files and
|
||
|
|
disconnect all users. When power is restored, SAFECOM reverts back to
|
||
|
|
monitoring the UPS unit.
