In critical situations, it is reassuring to be
able to count on MGE UPS SYSTEMS
Pulsar EX15 to EX40 uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS). They maximize protection to
keep your data intact and accessible. In
doing so, they guarantee virtually total
availability.
Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs ensure top
quality power around the clock, enabling you
to continue operations in case of a AC
power outage. An intelligent microprocessor
control device also detects any operating
anomalies of the UPS and triggers an alarm
if corrective action is necessary.
In addition to the high-technology aspect of
these UPSs, you can count ona team of
local specialists, throughout the world. It's no
accident that MGE UPS SYSTEMS is the
world leader.
Network servers and interconnection
devices are very sensitive to electrical
disturbances of all types, including outages,
voltage sags, brownouts, spikes, etc. The
origins of the disturbances also vary, ranging
from atmospheric phenomena such as
lightning and frost, to nearby devices
generating interference such as elevators,
photocopy machines and machine tools, not
to mention human errors, like the accidental
pulling out of power cords or tripping of
circuit breakers. The consequences of these
disturbances on computer systems range
from data losses to hardware damage
(power supplies, hard disks) and this always
means problems.
The Pulsar EX15 to EX40 range of UPSs
was specially designed to provide
centralised protection of multi-user systems
(networked PCs, UNIX systems, etc.), large
servers, server clusters and internetworking
bays. With their optional automatic and
manual bypass modules, Pulsar EX15 to
EX40 UPSs are genuine fault-tolerant power
supply systems for your sensitive
equipment. Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs give
you maximum flexibility and various
connection possibilities (direct connection to
a standard socket or terminal blocks, as
required).
Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs are designed
as compact units and feature very silent
operation. They can be installed where
space is limited. Rack mountable options
are also available (see further).
Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs guarantee a
stable supply of clean power, power supply
autonomy in a AC power outage and vast
information and control possibilities
according to the configuration selected.
With On-Line, galvanic isolation technology,
a large number of devices can be connected
to a standard power socket without worrying
about the configuration of your electrical
installation. Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs
guarantee continuous, top-grade protection
and availability for your workstations,
servers and network communications
equipment. Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs offer many
functions and characteristics designed to
simplify power management:
c automatic battery test carried out
periodically. In the event of a fault, a LED
provides enough advance warning for
battery replacement;
c front panel LEDs signal all types of faults
and alarms;
c bargraph continuously indicates the
battery charge level or the computer
application load level;
c Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs are
environment friendly: all components are
recyclable and an electronic power-saver
device reduces power consumption if the
UPS is not active for a period exceeding 5
minutes on battery operation;
c EX Driver software for rapid startup of
Pulsar EX15 to EX40 UPSs using the EX
Tuner configuration module. This module
adapts Pulsar EX15 to EX40 operation to
user conditions (battery test frequency,
startup and shutdown sequences, output
voltage and output frequency, etc.).
Operation and monitoring are ensured by
the UPS Manager 3.1 module operating
under Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
EX Driver connects to the "U-Talk"port on
the Pulsar EX15 to EX40 (see
"communication" section for further details);
c Solution-Pac™ is a CD-ROM which
contains all the tools needed to supervise
your UPS.
