UPStealth® Inverter/Controller manages the operation of the system. UPStealth® Inverter/Controller monitors the incoming power and decides when to switch over to battery power. A 4 line x 20 character LCD display shows UPStealth® system status and a menu of parameters which can be changed using the front panel keypad.
There are several different types of Battery Panels available. Standard Battery Panels include the 300 and 500 Watt UPStealth® Living-Hinge Batteries for installation between the rack and the cabinet wall of a 170 style traffic cabinet. UPStealth® Living-Hinge is available in a 300 Watt and 500 Watt Battery Panels which fit in 170/2070 33X series traffic control cabinets. A UPStealth®...

UPStealth® Living-Hinge Battery Panels are installed by first putting the included plastic block in the bottom of the area between the rack and outside shell. Slipping the “Speedy Sleeve” in the space next to the rack will allow easier installing for the Battery Panel by covering protruding screws.
UPS system. To use this feature, install the UPStealth® as you normally would. Because there is no AC available the UPStealth® will not start up on its own. To start the system you will manually have to turn the Battery Panel(s) on and then force the Inverter/Controller on.
“NORMAL” position, power to the cabinet comes through the UPStealth® and can provide battery backup. When the switch is in the “BYPASS” position, power to the cabinet comes from the AC INPUT terminal block and the UPStealth® does not supply any power to the cabinet.
If a power failure occurs the following display is shown: Power Failure Display Force On Display If the UPStealth® is started up with the “Force On” switch, the display will first show: The display will automatically switch to the Power Failure Display after the UPStealth®...

Relay Selection & Trigger Viewing Menu Description: View all 8-relay settings and select a relay to configure. This display is configured as two columns, one column has the relay number (under the STATUS heading) and the second column shows the Trigger for enabling the relay. When a RELAY is enabled, The COM pin and the NO (normally open) Pin are connected.
System Description & Relay Setup System Description The UPStealth® has 8 user-configurable relays that can trigger on a power failure, time of day, temperature, flash time, and at a given battery capacity. Each relay can be assigned to any of these triggers. Likewise, any relay can have more than one trigger type, in which case the relay will trigger if any of the conditions occur.
• The settings to be saved will be exactly as shown on the trigger configuration screen, allowing for easy review. UPStealth® Interface On/Off • To easily see what triggers are on, either use the relay selection menu (when there is not a relay set to multiple triggers) or scroll through the trigger panels looking at which box is checked at the bottom of the trigger pane.

System Description & Relay Setup FLASH TRIGGER MENU The “FLASH” time is the length of time after a power failure is detected that the relay will be energized. The relay can be used to put a cabinet into Flash after the power has been out for a certain period of time. It can also be used to inform the traffic center that an area has had a power failure that has lasted a certain amount of time.
System Description & Relay Setup Time Trigger Menu This image shows the user how to activate a relay based on the time of day, everyday. To Setup a Time Trigger: • Select NEXT to get to the time trigger menu if not already on it. •...
System Description & Relay Setup Battery Capacity Trigger Menu This menu allows you to control a relay based on battery capacity during a power failure. When the battery capacity drops below the set battery capacity, the relay is turned ON. The relay can be used to put the cabinet into Flash so the backup time can be increased.
Event Log Description: This screen displays the events recorded by the BBS/UPS, such as a power failure, configuration change, or other important events. On This Display: • EVENT: The type of event, such as a power failure. • T: and D: The time and date of the event. •...
This menu sets how the UPStealth® responds to power anomalies. The voltage thresholds for brown out levels and the over voltage point can be set by the user. You can also set how sensitive the UPStealth® is to power line “transients” and dropouts.
Description: This menu selects the system capacity mode of the UPStealth®. When HIGH CAPACITY is enabled, the batteries will be allowed to discharge below their optimum cutoff point, allowing for greater available backup time. While high capacity mode does not harm the batteries or the system, the lower cutoff point will decrease the overall longevity of the batteries.

AC Switch Delay The switching time from power failure to switch-over to Inverter/Controller power can be set by the user. The range is from about 6 msecs to 200 msecs. The default is 6 msecs, which is the fastest time. The user may want to extend the time if they have some equipment that might be upset by the fastest switching times.
The unit will not power up if the AC power line is connected to its “AC OUT” terminals. The Status Lights and the main display will inform the user if there is a problem with any part of the UPStealth® system. There are no user serviceable parts in the UPStealth®...
