Outdoor UPS (uninterruptible power system)
manufactured by TSi Power
are available in a variety of sizes and ruggedized outdoor enclosures, with wide
temperature batteries, and are typically semi-customized, build to order units per your
application requirements. As some of today's electronics are very small, some
outdoor UPS are available designed with extra space inside to house your OEM
systems, so that you have one less outdoor enclosure to deal with.
Outdoor UPS or outdoor uninterruptible power systems,
(also called uninterruptible power supplies, but usually just UPS or
battery backup systems), are for
where uptime is critical to an operation's mission fulfillment. Typical
UPS backup times are from 8 to 20 minutes, and can be as long as 14 hours
for some systems. If even longer times are desirable, choose an outdoor
uninterruptible power supply with extra battery cabinet flexibility,
and/or enough extra reserve batteries to satisfy your UPS requirements.
Choosing the
optimal size UPS
Please remember that your measured current draw is what
will determine your backup time, not your electronics' nameplate ratings, which
sometimes are double or even triple what the actual amperage (or Watts) is that your
systems use. (In other words, you're likely to be pleasantly surprised if
you base your backup time estimation on your nameplate ratings, but
perhaps not too happy if you find out you bought a UPS one or two sizes
larger than you really needed). For calculating actual backup time,
a good rule of thumb is that if your actual load is 3/4 of the UPS
capacity, you usually can double your backup time, and if it is 1/2
loaded, you can usually triple your backup time. You are welcome to call
for a recommendation for your application.
These outdoor UPS come with wide temperature batteries,
and are engineered for extreme/severe weather conditions, typically -20°
to +60°C (-4°
to +140°F).
Even lower temperatures -40°
to +60°C (-40°
to +140°F)
can be accommodated with an optional battery heater.
For high availability power for extreme
mission-critical applications, redundant uninterruptible power systems,
and/or motor-generators or DC to AC inverters are possible
by adding
an automatic transfer switch (ATS). Similar to the RAID concept of redundant
arrays of inexpensive hard drives, ATS enables redundant arrays of
inexpensive UPS.
Note: To use with ATS, the UPS (or inverters
such as the XINv Series)
must have a sine-wave output even when
running on battery, which below would be the Outdoor XUPs Series.
Typical outdoor uninterruptible
power systems applications are:
|
 |
Cellular base stations
To keep wireless communications up and running with high
availability power. |
|
|
CCTV or surveillance camera systems
To enable uptime of mission-critical security systems even if the
power is cut. |
|
|
Research systems
To make sure experiments/monitoring systems make it all the way through
the study.

Outdoor XUPs
The Outdoor XUPs Series is a UPs system in an outdoor
rated enclosure with wide temperature batteries and built-in automatic
voltage regulation to handle brownouts and overvoltages within a wide
voltage input window, without having to exercise the batteries, thus
lengthening battery life. This is a heavy duty
uninterruptible power system with a pure sine wave output. It has
communications capability, a comprehensive array of status LED's, light
weight, and a pure sine wave output. As these systems are all build to order, and
some applications utilize very small components, you may
consider asking if your system could be built with enough room to enable
your equipment to be housed inside, typically in the upper quadrant of the
enclosure.
Typical XUPs Configurations include, but are not limited to,

Battery
extension units
These are custom per application. For most
applications,
extra
batteries can be added into one larger enclosure, but extra enclosures
may be necessary, depending on the load and application. Please call for
recommendation. |

UPS-Wtb
A small standby UPs system with
a wide temperature battery
system for extreme climate
conditions. These are most utilized in outdoor enclosures already provided
by the OEM or systems integrator. Larger sizes are available for OEM
applications.

UPS Shutdown
Configuration Instructions
Note: Most new operating systems, such as Windows XP Professional, have
auto shutdown elements incorporated, and eliminate the need for a separate
shutdown package.
Please consult your operating system manual. |
