Tour the LCD Panel
Front Panel Display and Controls:
1. The ON button is to turn the UPS on. Pressing the ON button during the Battery mode will silence the alarm
2. The OFF button is to turn the UPS off.
3. The Utility Power (Green) LED illuminates when Utility Power is present and extinguishes during the Battery mode.
4. The Load Bank 1 (Green) LED is illuminated when the Load Bank is on
5. The Load Bank 2 (Green) LED is illuminated when the Load Bank is on
6. The Bypass Active (Yellow) LED illuminates when the UPS is in the Bypass mode
7. The Weak/Bad Battery (Red) LED illuminates when the UPS detects a weak battery, bad battery or if the battery is disconnected. The Weak/Bad Battery icon is extinguished when the battery’s condition is good
8. The LCD displays the status of the UPS
9. Pressing the Enter button saves the changes made to the UPS settings
10. Pressing the Page Up button goes to the previous page or will change the UPS settings
11. Pressing the Page Down button goes to the next page
12. Pressing the Function button and then the Page Up button will initiate a 10- second battery test
Electrical Characteristics:Output Power Factor
All Encompass LCD Series models come with a 0.9 power factor of which increases the watt capacity of the units. Offering larger capacities in smaller UPS VA sizes reduces the overall cost of the UPS solution for a specific load requirement.
Output Voltage
All units in the Encompass LCD Series produce an electrical signal that does not vary from nominal voltage by more than 2%. Tightly regulating the output voltage increases the quality of power to connected equipment adding to its life expectancy, which lowers the total cost of ownership to users.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
THD is the distortion of a normal AC electrical signal commonly caused by non-linear loads. This distortion can cause internal heat to build up on sensitive equipment not designed to operate with these altered AC signals. The Encompass LCD Series provides power factor correction to reduce the THD and maintain a true sine wave output signal.
Output Receptacle Control: The ability to extend the runtime of critical devices during an extended blackout is handled through the Encompass LCD’s load shedding function. Each model in the Encompass LCD UPS comes with two independently-circuited
receptacle segments. Through the use of Minuteman’s SentryHD software or communication with the UPS through an Ethernet connection, users can either turn on, off or reset each segment independently of the other. By reducing the load amount on the UPS, the runtime of critical devices on the UPS battery can be extended.
Communication Features
Simultaneous RS-232, USB and Ethernet communications: The Encompass LCD UPS provides users with the ability to communicate with the UPS simultaneously through three separate protocols: RS-232, USB and Ethernet. Users can now directly connect and manage the UPS from multiple stand-alone, or networked computers. By including concurrent Ethernet communications (SNMP or direct IP address), the Encompass LCD UPS can provide detailed monitoring and management to many various environments
Other Features
- RoHS 2 Compliance - Recognizing the benefit of being environmentally conscious, Para Systems developed the Encompass LCD UPS Series to be compliant with the European Economic Unions directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS 2), in electronic equipment.
- Manual and Automatic Self-Testing - The Encompass LCD UPS is designed to proactively notify users of any impending faults or failures with the UPS. This allows for preemptive repair or replacement of components or batteries preventing unexpected downtime caused by the UPS.
- Dedicated EPO Port - This direct access port allows users to perform an immediate remote shutdown of the UPS in cases of emergency or when access to the UPS is restricted or inconvenient.
Battery Technology
Battery Technology
- All Encompass units use valve-regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA). All are safe for any type of freight transport: air, sea or ground. For added protection, all Encompass UPS models ship with the batteries disconnected. A “Quick Installation Guide” is included in each Encompass box to detail how to connect the batteries before putting the units into service.
Hot-Swappable Batteries
- All models in the Encompass line offer Tool-less battery replacement, through the front panel of the UPS, without having to remove the UPS from service. Connected loads are protected from voltage anomalies and spikes and surges while the batteries are being replaced
