The Cfr Advantage - Alpha CFR 5000 Operator's Manual

1 Introduction
1.1

The CFR Advantage

Advanced Power Protection Technology
!
Alpha's CFR Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides continuous and conditioned
computer-grade AC power for computer systems, point of sale terminals, process controls,
telecommunications, cable TV headend, broadband LAN, manufacturing control systems,
hospital critical care and lab equipment.
Regulation
!
The unit maintains ±1% output regulation without using the batteries. Even with input voltage
fluctuations as great as +10% or –20%, the output is constant regardless of the load's size.
Isolation
!
The output is totally isolated from the input to protect the loads from spikes, surges and line
noise. The ferro resonant transformer provides non-degradable spike and surge protection.
Extended Backup Capability
!
Alpha's EBP Series external battery packs extends backup time during power outages.
Installing the battery pack is as simple as plugging it in.
Self Test Function
!
The built-in self test checks all critical areas, including the batteries, to ensure optimum per-
formance.
Load and Overload Information
!
The display panel shows the loading and tells you when the unit is overloaded.
Generator Ready
!
The unit has frequency sense and constant slew frequency synchronization circuits for
trouble-free operation with most standby generators.
Advanced Communications Capabilities
!
The RS–232 communications port is SNMP and modem compatible.
Safety
!
Alpha designed the CFR to meet or exceed UL, CSA or VDE safety standards. This commit-
ment to safety makes Alpha Technologies a leader in the power industry.
