NOTE:
Use latest device Documentation, Software and Firmware to ensure reliable operation of the system (down-
loadable from www.wieland-electric.com).
The UPS 20-960 is a microprocessor controlled unit that can perform two functions:
•
UPS rated 960 W / 20 A usable in any system rated 12 ... 48 V DC
•
DC-DC converter (non-isolated) rated 960 W / 20 A usable in any combination of IN/OUT voltages
12 ... 48 V DC
For the UPS function, it may use a battery of 12 V, independently of the operating load voltage. For any
supply voltages (12 ... 48 V DC) it may use also multiple battery configuration (10 ... 58 V DC). The UPS
module monitors the voltage coming from a DC power supply and in case of power failure a backup
battery is supplying the energy to the load. In normal condition the battery is kept charged by an inte-
grated battery charger supporting various battery chemistries.
As a DC-DC converter (no battery present) the input must be connected to the battery connector. The
input voltage is converted to any output voltage as per the set-up.
