Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – No Battery, Maintenance-Free
The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) uses 24VDC input/output to
provide 35W of power and 5 to 15 minutes Hold Time and is designed for
critical networking and control applications such as industrial managed
switches and human machine interfaces (HMI’s). The Industrial UPS uses
Ultracapacitors instead of batteries, eliminating the #1 cause of
conventional UPS failures, which lowers the risk of downtime - and
there’s no need for costly and time consuming maintenance.
