Everything you need to know about NCKCN’s recommended UPS (Battery Backup Unit)

Battery Backup Units (UPS's), General
Print

 

 

Overview:

NCKCN highly recommends having a UPS (or Battery Backup Unit) installed and will provide a UPS during installation.  If you have your own UPS, NCKCN must approve it.  Having a UPS in place helps protect the antenna along with its power supply and will help protect your router during any power outages or surges.

NCKCN highly recommends having only the following plugged into the UPS:

  • Antenna with its power supply provided by NCKCN during installation.
  • Router
  • Possibly a main laptop or desktop

Typically having just the antenna and router behind the UPS will yield best results in terms of longevity of the UPS and to ensure that no overloading is occurring.

Please note that after several lab tests with various loads running, these UPS’s typically run for about 20-30 minutes during power outages which should be enough time for you to save your work and shut things down properly in case power is out for an extended period of time.

PowerCom UPS – Imperial Series (Battery Backup Unit) — (In Stock)

Emergency Power Protection for Computers and Peripherals.  Emergency Battery Power Backup with lightning and surge protection plus free automatic shutdown and power management software

WARNING:

  • DO NOT PLUG IN MOTORIZED PRODUCTS AND OVERLOAD USE.  PLEASE KEEP THE PRODUCT IN A OPEN AND COOL ENVIRONMENT AND DO NOT USE OR STORE NEAR HEAT OR OPEN FLAME.  WARRANTY WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER IMPROPER USE CONDITION.

Highlights

  • Protection for computers against power failure and surge
    • Loads or computers are vulnerable when they encountered sudden power failures, lightning and surge strike.  Typical disasters include system damage on both hardware and software, file and data loss, etc…  A power backup solution is essential either working in the office or at home.
  • Boost and buck AVR
    • The build-in Automatic Voltage Regulator will sense the input power and adjust the output voltage when the input voltage is over nominal or under.  This will let the valuable loads that is connected to this UPS get the optimal input power quality.
  • User replaceable battery to extend product life
    • With ABM (Advanced Battery Management) Technology, the status of internal battery would be checked by the control circuit & CPU.  In case of the battery reaches it’s end of life, the easy replacement design allow users to replace the battery by him/herself without sending the UPS back for service.  This will save the service fee and time.
  • LED display UPS functions
    • Three kinds of LED displays identify UPS status legibly, such as On line / Battery back up / Replace battery.
  • Short Circuit and Overload protection
    • In case of short circuit of the UPS, the unit will be protected by a resettable circuit breaker for easy recovery by simply push the button to the normal position.  The UPS is also equipped with overload protection by giving warning sound from the audible alarm.  If this happens, simply remove excessive loads from the UPS.
  • System diagnostic and battery check function
    • Allow users to periodically check all internal components and battery.
  • Cold start even when power source does not exist
    • Users can power on the unit without any AC power, this provides temporarily backup power in an emergency when the utility power is failure.

Color & Shape/Size

  • Black and Silver
  • Rectangular in shape – and is roughly the size of a loaf of bread
  • Big circular “On” button on the front of the unit — To turn unit on, please press and hold this button for roughly 5-10 seconds or until you see a steady green light being displayed from the front of the unit.

Specifications

  • Input: Capacity = 625VA; Voltage = 100V, 110V, 115V, 120V, 220V, 230V, 240V +/- 25% at line input; Frequency = 50 or 60 Hz +/- 10% (auto sensing)
  • Output: Voltage (on battery) = Simulated sine wave at 100V, 110V, 115V, 120V, 220V, 230V, 240V +/- 5%; Frequency (on battery) = 50 or 60 Hz +/- 1Hz; Voltage Regulation (AVR) = AVR automatically increase output voltage 15% above input voltage if -9% to -25% of nominal. AVR decrease output voltage 13% below input voltage if +9% to +25% of nominal; Transfer Time = 4 milliseconds (Typical)
  • Protection and Filtering: Spike Protection = 1050 Joules (Max); Unit Input = Fuse or circuit breaker for overload & short circuit protection; Overload Protection = UPS automatic power off if overload exceeds 110% of nominal at 60 seconds and 130% at 3 seconds; 10 Base-T Cable Port = Available on AP models; Short Circuit = UPS output cut off immediately or input fuse protection
  • Battery: Type = Sealed, maintenance-free lead acid; Typical Recharge Time = 6 hours (to 90% of full capacity); Protection = Auto discharge protection
  • Physical: Dimensions (W x D x H mm) = 105 x 330 x 168 (4.1″ x 13″ x 6.6″)
  • ALARM: Battery Back-up = Slow beeping sound (about 0.47 Hz); Battery Low = Rapid beeping sound (about 1.824 Hz); Overload = Continuously beeping sound
  • Interface: RS-232 (serial) / USB = Detect battery low, Schedule UPS on/off, AC input/output power status display
  • Environment: Ambient Operation = 3,500 meters max, elevation.  0-95% humidity non-condensing, 0-40 deg C; Audible Noise = <40dBA (1 meter from surface); Storage Condition = 15,000 meter max, elevation
