S4K2U 5C SERIES USER MANUAL | 13 1.4.3 Inverter In normal operation, the S4K2U-5C’s inverter utilizes the dc output of the PFC recti er to produce precise, regulated sine wave ac power. When mains power fails, the inverter receives dc power from the dc-to-dc converter. In either operation mode, the UPS inverter is on-line, continuously generating clean, precise, regulated ac output power.
14 | 1.0 Product Description 1.5.3 Battery Mode The S4K2U-5C enters Battery Mode when mains power fails or is outside acceptable values. The battery system supplies power through the dc-to-dc converter to the inverter to generate clean ac power for the connected loads. When the S4K2U-5C enters Battery Mode, the UPS sounds a half-second beep at 10-second intervals.
