A 24 V DC uninterruptable power supply receives Alternating Current (AC) and outputs 24 V DC to a Valueline IPC (in this case). It is comprised of a power supply, switching unit and a rechargeable battery working together in one of two modes. The first mode sources DC voltage from the power supply so the Valueline IPC can operate when AC power is present (often referred to as normal mode).
Startup and Operation 3.8.1 Power supply recommendations The Valueline IPC requires a 24 V DC power source. This can be either a standard power supply or a DC UPS. The following table provides expected amperage requirements for different configurations. Table 3-2...
Valueline IPC – Monitors the state of the Low Battery Alarm, which is a contact closure inside the UPS, after the battery reaches approximately 20.4 V. When this signal is active, the Windows operating system starts the Critical Alarm timer which gives 30 seconds to launch and execute an optional program before the VL IPC begins the shutdown procedure.
NOTE: The Valueline IPC serial port and pins A-B on the power connector cannot accept 24 V. The un interruptible power supply shutdown must be initiated through dry contacts. The QUINT-DC-UPS… must be configured for dry contact mode. If another type of un interruptible power supply is used, it must be configured for dry contact mode or a relay must be installed between the Valueline IPC and the uninterruptable power supply.
