IRWINDALE, Calif., 14 Sept. 2007.Falcon Electric Inc. in Irwindale, Calif., is offering the SSG Series industrial-grade uninterruptible power supply (UPS) Plus (related application) models from 1.5 to 3 kilovolt amps. This regenerative on-line UPS provides military and aerospace applications with a high level of power protection that tolerates these environments -- including temperatures as hot as 55 degrees Celsius.

The SSG Series provides users with battery monitoring and replacement notification, as well as user-friendly, hot-swappable battery packs. Slide-out battery packs are replaced through the UPS front panel.

The SSG Series also gives users the ability to program two independent output "load segments." This feature extends the battery runtime for a specified pair of receptacles for a particular connected device, such as a controller, while cutting off the power to the remaining receptacles after a utility loss or low battery condition.

For applications that require hours of backup, additional battery banks available. The SSG Series provides a continuous, clean, tightly regulated power source from polluted incoming AC power source. It acts as an electronic firewall between incoming "dirty" power and sensitive microprocessor-based programmable logic controllers (PLCs), computers, and automated systems.

For unattended OS shutdown and easy monitoring of the UPS system, Falcon's UPSilon shutdown and management software supports Windows platforms, including Vista, as well as Novell NetWare 5 & 6, Linux and FreeBSD. For remote management, users may purchase an optional SNMP/HTTP agent board that installs directly inside the UPS and provides a TCP-IP addressable, 10/100 Ethernet communications for remote monitoring and management. To assure easy integration into industrial and large IT installations, the SSG Series features Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) with NFPA-70, NEC 645-11 compliant operation.
