DELTEC DEBUTS NEW POWERRITE PRO II UPS WITH 10-YEAR WARRANTY.

:XUPS) and one of the fastest- growing UPS manufacturers worldwide, Monday announced its new line of PowerRite Pro II Series Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS).

The new UPS line is part of Deltec's overall strategy to offer unsurpassed power protection systems and software that address the need for high data availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider.  and integrity for LANs, Fileservers, PCs, Workstations and sensitive electronic equipment worldwide.

Deltec's new UPSs feature Hot-Swappable Batteries, Advanced Battery Management (ABM ABM: see guided missile.

ABM - Asynchronous Balanced Mode
) for longer battery service life, Buck/Double Boost Voltage Regulation, Precision Power Control for extended run times to critical servers, Network/Modem Surge Protection See surge suppression and traffic surge protection.  and installable SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc.  and Communication Card options.

In addition, Deltec's LanSafe and FailSafe III power management software is bundled with the PowerRite Pro II and provides remote network-wide monitoring, control and testing as well as prioritized, sequential shutdown of all networked devices.

Longer Battery Life through ABM

Through the use of Deltec's proprietary Advanced Battery Management technology, the PowerRite Pro II UPS solves battery reliability problems that plague the power protection industry. This technical breakthrough extends battery life through a unique 3-step charging process -- fast, floating and rest -- eliminating constant trickle charging Trickle charging, also called float charging, means charging a battery at the same rate as it is self-discharging, thus maintaining a full capacity battery. Most rechargeable batteries, particularly nickel-cadmium batteries or nickel metal hydride batteries, have a moderate  that starve UPS batteries' electrolytes, causing premature failure.

ABM also quickly recharges the battery in 3 to 4 hours after a blackout. This quick recharge time, which is about half the time of other conventional UPSs, is especially beneficial for applications in high-power fluctuation environments.

In addition, the UPS features a battery service alarm that warns the user 60 days in advance that the UPS batteries are nearing the end of their useful life. When this occurs, users have the option of replacing the entire unit under Deltec's exclusive Ten-Year Triple Power Warranty or hot-swapping the batteries (through easy front panel access) without powering down the UPS.

Power Regulation Features:

In addition to ABM, the new 1000, 1500, 2000, 2400 and 3000 VA UPSs incorporate Buck/Double Boost voltage regulation that increases the life of the UPS batteries by minimizing battery usage during normal operation. By extending the input voltage range, the UPS can regulate the voltage in a surge or sag situation without using the UPS's batteries -- thus saving critical battery backup See UPS.  time for protected systems during power outages This is a list of famous wide-scale power outages. 1965

"The battery is the Achilles heal of any UPS system. Our new PowerRite Pro II with Advanced Battery Management along with Precision Power Control and Power Input/Output Regulation is truly the most advanced UPS line the industry has seen in years," stated Susan Connell, vice president of marketing.

Precision Power Control:

To further maximize system uptime, users can save critical battery backup time by scheduling -- via the UPS's Precision Power Control and Deltec's LanSafe III Power Management Software -- less important devices to shutdown first upon a power failure -- allowing more battery runtime for critical devices. This load shedding is done by controlling individual power receptacles on the back of the UPS.

For example, a user may plug in a file server into one receptacle and a workstation into another. Upon a power failure, the workstation is programmed to shutdown first, leaving the server running to complete last minute operations. The ability to program less critical devices to shut down first, extends battery runtime -- in some cases users realize a 50% increase in battery time.

The PowerRite Pro II UPSs are protected with a 10-year prorated warranty which includes $25,000 equipment damage coverage and a 60-day money back guarantee. Available in tabletop or rackmount configurations, the PowerRite Pro II UPSs are bundled with LanSafe or FailSafe software and start at $699.
