DELTEC TO EXHIBIT NEW WINDOWS 95 PLUG AND PLAY SOFTWARE DRIVER AND POWERRITE MAX UPS AT SPRING COMDEX.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 1996--Deltec Electronics Corp., the fifth largest Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) manufacturer in the United States, will display at Spring Comdex in booth number 1262 its newest offering in plug and play power protection systems.

Products to be showcased include: PowerRite(R) Max, the most feature-rich UPS available today; the first true 32-bit Windows 95(R) Plug and Play UPS driver; and LanSafe III and FailSafe III power management software, judged as ``exceptional'' by Computer Reseller News (May 13, 1996) in its recent UPS review.

Responding to the need to communicate more easily with UPSs in a Windows 95 environment, Deltec has developed a true 32-bit plug and play software driver that functions as an integrated device driver in Windows 95. This new driver quickly communicates with Windows 95 and saves all work-in-progress in the event of a prolonged power failure.

The current 16-bit UPS driver available for Windows 95 only shuts down Win95 without saving open files. Deltec's driver also gives users the ability to quickly and easily monitor and configure their UPS via the main applet that displays the UPSs' control panel.

Through this control applet, users can view important information about their UPS in real-time, including: battery level, battery service, communication status, input voltage level and site wiring fault indication. In addition, users receive power failure alerts before the UPS initiates an orderly shutdown.

Deltec's new PowerRite Max UPS Series represents the first UPS to offer intelligent communication capability, Advanced Battery Management (ABM(TM)), Windows 95 Plug and Play compatibility (with available bundled driver), hot swappable batteries and network/modem surge suppression with a price point and warranty that surpass the market leader.

Based on the same proprietary technology as the company's award-winning PowerRite Pro, the PowerRite Max features Deltec's patented ABM technology that incorporates an exclusive three-step charging process that doubles battery life by charging only when needed, speeds battery recharge time and provides early warning of pending battery failure.

Competitive UPSs constantly trickle-charge the battery, which starves the batteries' electrolyte, causing premature failure.

In addition, PowerRite Max includes a battery service alarm that warns the user 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.

For complete protection across the network, the PowerRite Max's Network/Modem Surge Protection isolates devices from "back door" power disturbances that can be transmitted through modem and network lines.

Selected models of the PowerRite Max are available in bundled configurations with Deltec's award-winning LanSafe III and FailSafe III Power Management Software, compatible with all popular operating systems, including Windows 95.

LanSafe III supports other manufacturers' UPSs and provides exclusive features, including SafetyNet(TM) -- user-defined sequential shutdown of multiple networked devices. This allows users to define which devices to shut down and in which sequence in order to save critical workstation data back to the server before bridges and routers shut down.

With the PowerRite Max's Precision Power Control(TM), users also have the flexibility to configure scheduled start-ups and shutdowns of equipment to save energy, increase security and extend battery run time.

For stand-alone systems, FailSafe III performs similar functionality to assure maximum data security.

The PowerRite Max family is available in 450VA, 700VA, 1000VA and 1500VA, with list prices starting at $299. Software bundles start at $339.

As with all of Deltec's UPSs, the PowerRite Max is protected under Deltec's Triple Power Warranty, which includes an unprecedented 10-year pro-rated warranty, a $25,000 Load Protection Guarantee and a 60-day No Questions Asked Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.
