Phoenix Contact's QUINT UPS-IQ 500VA AC UPS has received UL 1778 Recognition. This is the first-ever industrial control cabinet AC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to be certified for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.
This AC UPS uses Phoenix Contact’s proven IQ technology to increase system reliability. The rail-mounted UPS monitors a scalable battery solution and provides the user with critical operating data. The batteries range from 1.3- to 38-Ah lead acid and include a lithium-ion 120Wh version. Each of the batteries has an individual UL Listing for CID2 hazardous locations. The UL category code is “YEEU2,†and the Phoenix Contact UL file number is E359066.
These units include intelligent battery modules that automatically tell users what type of battery is in use and then determine that unit’s charging status. QUINT provides intelligent battery management on several levels, including: Battery Detection, automatically identifies the type of battery in use as well as other critical battery information; State of Charge (SOC), indicates the remaining back-up time and level of charge on the battery. This gives users the ability to see the amount of available time left at a quick glance;
State of Health (SOH), indicates the remaining service life of the battery module. The history of the battery module is recorded and then provides an indication of when the battery needs to be replaced, before it becomes a concern; and State of Function (SOF, indicates the capacity of the battery module. The available capacity of the battery is provided, indicating how well the battery is accepting the charge and if the full capacity is still available.
