As a well-known brand in the field of power management, APC’s SURT5000UXI-CH uninterruptible power supply provides reliable power protection for many critical equipment. Here are the instructions for using this UPS and the method for selecting a 1-hour backup power.
1、 SURT5000UXI-CH Basic Overview
This UPS has excellent performance and can provide stable power output for servers, network devices, etc. It adopts online dual conversion technology to effectively isolate mains interference, output pure sine wave AC power, and ensure the safe and stable operation of connected devices. Its rated power is 5000VA, which can meet the power demand of equipment within a certain range.
2、 Installation and Connection
When installing, the first step is to choose a suitable installation environment, avoiding damp, high temperature, and dusty places. Place the UPS in a stable position and secure it in place. Connect the mains input and ensure that the power cord is securely connected. Then connect the equipment that needs to be protected to the output port of the UPS, ensuring that the total load does not exceed the rated power of the UPS.
3、 Operation and monitoring
The SURT5000UXI-CH is equipped with an intuitive control panel that displays important information such as UPS input/output voltage, battery level, and load percentage. Through the buttons on the panel, users can perform power on/off operations and switch to bypass mode (during maintenance or special circumstances). In addition, it supports network management functions and can achieve remote monitoring and management through network connections, making it convenient for users to understand the operation status of UPS anytime and anywhere.
4、 Backup power for 1 hour optional
To achieve a 1-hour backup power, it is necessary to select a reasonable battery pack. Firstly, determine the DC voltage of the UPS. The DC voltage of SURT5000UXI-CH is usually a certain standard value (refer to the product manual). Then, based on the discharge characteristics and capacity calculation formula of the battery, calculate the required capacity of the battery. Generally speaking, it is necessary to choose lead-acid or lithium batteries with appropriate capacity and reliable quality. For example, if the rated voltage and discharge curve of the battery are known, combined with the power requirements of the UPS, the number of batteries and connection methods that should be configured can be calculated. At the same time, corresponding battery connection cables and battery cabinets (racks) should be equipped to ensure standardized battery installation, good heat dissipation, and safe connection.
In daily use, regularly conduct charge and discharge tests and maintenance checks on the battery pack, such as checking the appearance of the battery for bulges and leakage, cleaning the battery terminals, etc., to ensure that the UPS can provide 1 hour of backup power in case of mains power interruption, and to safeguard the continuous operation of the equipment.
