UPSI-2406IP-26U

Ruggedized DC-UPS / IP65/67 enclosure / 144W / 24V 6A / LiFePo4 Battery / DC-DC / accu

Robust emergency power supply for outdoor use!
DC UPS with protection class IP67 and safe LiFePO4 battery technology

In harsh industrial and mobile applications, our DC UPS series UPSI-IP guarantees uninterruptible 24V DC power supply for control and regulation modules, embedded box IPCs, drives, actuators, sensors, safety technology and many more in the event of a power failure.

The DC UPS is dustproof and waterproof according to protection class IP67. The high-quality aluminum housing contains the complete DC UPS control and charging electronics as well as the LiFePO4 battery pack for long autonomy times. In normal operation, the UPSI-IP makes the nominal voltage supplied by the mains available at the output, charges the battery pack and monitors the voltage thresholds at the input. If the voltage falls below the defined threshold, the system switches over to UPS backup mode within fractions of a second and ensures an uninterrupted and regulated voltage supply at the output.

The UPSI-IP is ideal for application areas like security and building technology, heavy industry, petrochemicals, tunneling and mining, energy, communication, commercial and special vehicles, the food industry, chemicals and agriculture.

LiFePO4 – The safe and long-lasting lithium-ion battery technology

The integrated LiFePO4 battery pack (lithium iron phosphate) impresses in safety-relevant applications with its particularly stable battery chemistry, high cycle stability and particularly long service life of at least 10 years. The battery management system (BMS) with cell balancing ensures that all cells are charged evenly so that the full capacity of the battery pack can be used over the long term.

Robust aluminum housing with IP67 protection

A robust aluminum housing protects the electronics and energy storage against mechanical influences. The sealed housing elements and connections are resistant to water, ice, oil and dust in accordance with protection class IP67. In addition, the UPSI-IP systems are shock and vibration tested according to EN 60068-2-27 and EN 60068-2-6. Mounting brackets with holes are already attached to the housing for quick and secure attachment.

Minimum load detection

The 'minimum load detection' monitors the output load to be supplied from the energy storage in backup mode (battery mode). If the load at the output falls below a certain limit value, the energy storage device is automatically disconnected from the charging and control unit, so that the energy store is not unnecessarily emptied by the DC UPS electronics. In addition, the minimum load detection ensures that the computer system has been shut down properly after an initiated shutdown process, before the reboot function initiates the restart of the system.

Integrated shutdown & reboot function for IPC systems

In the event of a "PowerFail", the DC UPS signals the failure via the integrated interface, so that a controlled shutdown of the computer system is initiated and valuable data can be saved. The integrated reboot function of the DC UPS automatically initiates the restart of the supplied IPC after the supply voltage has returned, without the need for costly on-site intervention by a service employee, e.g. with completely self-sufficient computer systems in inaccessible locations.

UPS data monitoring and preprogramming for autonomous operation

For data communication with controllers or PC-based systems a USB interface is available (RS232 on request). The included software "UPS Gen2 Configuration" can be downloaded free of charge for setting and preprogramming all parameters of the DC UPS system and for real-time monitoring with fuel gauge. The adjustable parameters include load sensor (mA), shutdown delay, maximum backup time, minimum battery capacity before power up, ignition timer and restart delay. The data connection to the IPC system takes place via integrated USB interface. In addition, an extensive set of commands enables the direct reading of sensor values and the setting of parameters. The continuous recording of operating data allows "Data Monitoring" in real time. The open communication protocol offers system developers individual options for connecting to their own system.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

Where can the DC UPS be used?

The UPSI-IP series offers a very rugged design for applications in harsh environments such as forklifts, industrial lifts, plant exteriors, mining, transportation, locations with heavy dust and much more.

How can the device be mouted?

The DC UPS is equipped with high quality metal holders for safe panel mounting to machines, metal counter plates, walls, fences or other fitting equipment.

What protection against environmental influences does the UPSI-IP series offer?

The robust aluminium housing is built to IP67 protection standard which protects against water, dust and other pollution. Additional it is protected against pressure issues and inside condensation via a pressure compensating valve.

Which energy storage is installed in the DC UPS?

The DC UPS is supplied by a particularly robust, safe and long-lasting 10-year LiFePO4 battery with 99Wh. This enables long backup times of up to 6 hours. The LiFePO4 battery pack is designed for more than 5000 charge and discharge cycles.

Within which temperature range can the DC UPS be operated?

The operating temperature range of the DC UPS is -20…+45°C (Storage -20...+55°C).

Which interfaces are available?

The device can be controlled via USB. Static signal output and RS232 are available on request. The scope of delivery includes a resilient 3m USB cable as well as a set of power cables (input/output) of 3m length each (can be shortened as required).
