Key Features of the SUVTP40KH4B4S
1. Double Conversion Online Topology
The SUVTP40KH4B4S uses double conversion online technology, providing consistent, clean power with zero transfer time during outages. This ensures protection against power surges, sags, and interruptions, making it ideal for sensitive equipment.
2. Scalable Runtime
With four included battery modules and support for additional external battery enclosures (e.g., SUVTXR6B6S), the UPS allows users to extend runtime as needed. This scalability is perfect for businesses with growing power demands.
3. Hot-Swappable Batteries
The hot-swappable battery design enables battery replacement without powering down connected equipment, ensuring uninterrupted operation during maintenance.
4. Dual Mains Input
The UPS features dual mains input, increasing availability by allowing connection to two separate power sources. This enhances reliability in environments with unstable power grids.
5. Internal Maintenance Bypass
An automatic internal bypass supplies utility power to connected loads during UPS overloads or faults, reducing downtime. The built-in maintenance bypass eliminates the need for an external mechanical bypass, lowering installation costs.
6. Intelligent Battery Management
The system maximizes battery performance, life, and reliability through precision charging and temperature-compensated charging, which adjusts voltage based on battery temperature. Periodic self-tests detect batteries needing replacement.
7. Network Manageability
Equipped with a pre-installed AP9619 Network Management Card, the UPS supports remote monitoring and management via DB-9 RS-232, Ethernet, or APC InfraStruXure Manager. The Smart-Slot allows additional management cards for enhanced functionality.
8. User-Friendly Design
The UPS features a multi-function LCD status and control console, LED status indicators, and audible alarms for quick status checks. Its rack/tower convertible design protects investments when transitioning between setups.
