CBI all-in-one UPS power device combines multiple functions for use as a power supply unit, battery charger, battery care module, or backup module. This “intelligent” device is compatible with a range of common battery types and comes with a real-time diagnostics system to continuously monitor battery status, charging levels, and potentially emerging battery faults. The CBI device will suit any battery-power application in any industry or setting where battery reliability is essential and the availability of backup power is critical.
The CBI UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) device is available in 12 Vdc, 24 Vdc, and 48 Vdc output versions for pairing with conventional battery types including open lead acid, sealed lead acid, lead gel, and Ni-Cd (as an option). The device has three charging levels (Recovery, Boost, or Trickle), allows for adjustment of charging current (from 20% to 100% of output current), and automatically distributes available power among load and battery. Switching technology delivers up to 91% efficiency.
The device’s battery-charging function is microprocessor-controlled and uses algorithms to detect a battery’s condition and then choose the appropriate charging mode. Real-time diagnostics enable easy battery diagnosis and fault identification (displayed by LED) to protect against potentially occurring faults, such as short circuit, inverted polarity, overload, or battery disconnection. If the CBI device becomes disconnected from the main power source, the battery will serve to supply the load until battery voltage reaches 1.5 V per cell, preventing deep battery discharge.
The CBI device performs over a temperature range from -40ºC to 70ºC (-40ºF to 158ºF) and is housed in a compact and rugged metal case offered in three sizes. The device can be DIN-rail mounted using a built-in bracket.
