Introduction
3-Stage Battery Charger
Your APS recharges your battery faster than
conventional chargers because its three-stage
charger profile (Bulk, Absorption and Float) are
optimized, regardless of the type of battery you
use (Wet or Gel).* In addition, the advanced
charging system protects against over-charge
and over-discharge to ensure a longer service
life from your battery.
* The Absorption and Float levels vary according to battery
type, which can be set to either "Wet" or "Gel"cell.
Voltage Regulation
"VR" APS models regulate incoming AC power
by automatically "boosting" or "cutting" the
voltage to keep your equipment running through
brownouts and overvoltages without draining
battery power.
Load Sharing
Select APS models can be set to limit their own
charging functions so they can charge their
batteries at the quickest rate possible without
overloading their power input circuits.
Frequency-Controlled
Inverter Output
All APS models feature Frequency-Controlled
Inverter Output which allows devices dependent
on AC line frequency (such as computers,
VCRs, CD players, tape recorders, clocks and
turntables) to operate properly.
Circuit Board Protection
A silicone conformal coating safeguards the cir-
cuit boards against moisture.
