24 V dc UPS for external battery 3.9-130 Ah

The UB20.241 uninterruptible power supply controller (DC-UPS) is used in addition with a 24V power supply and batteries to bridge power failures or voltage fluctuations. This configuration can prevent expensive downtimes, long restart cycles and loss of data.

A unique feature of the UB20 series is the constant voltage in battery mode, which will not change as the batteries discharge. The buffer voltage in battery mode can be set to four different output values. Another feature is the utilization of two independent battery chargers for the two 12V-batteries in series. This feature makes matching batteries unnecessary and allows for precise battery charging, testing and optimized usage of the battery capacity to achieve the longest battery service life.

The UB20.241 includes many battery diagnostic functions that ensure a reliable operation of the entire system. Furthermore, a temperature controlled charging

extends the life of the batteries. It also includes a selectable buffer time limiter as well as ready, buffering and replace battery contacts. For safety and

maintenance, an inhibit input signal is included which prevents a battery backup.

Connecting the center tap of the treatment of the batteries separately

For optimized charging and longevity required that each battery is controlled separately. We recommend connecting the midpoint of the batteries with a center drain connection on the controller to achieve maximum performance. Install a 4 A fuse between the battery and the controller.
If the center pin is not connected works UB20.241 as other DC UPS with two batteries connected in series. It is possible to replace existing DC UPS systems with UB20.241.
