Overview
SCUPS® Model 1026 Super Capacitor 12VDC Uninterruptible Power Supply, Board Unit
-
Provides critical power backup for remote locations.
-
Recognized for significant advantages over battery UPS systems.
-
Low Maintenance, Long Service Life, Wide Temperature Change.
The SCUPS® Model 1026 SuperCapacitor based Uninterruptible Power Supply is designed to provide nominal 12VDC power when a unit’s 12VDC line power is interrupted. In addition, several digital signals are available to alert the host system that supplemental power is in use, and to provide a state of charge (SOC) indication. User applications can use digital signals to commence an orderly shutdown operation and can use the SOC signals to gauge the level of energy in the super capacitor. Once Primary power is restored, the unit’s super capacitor is recharged and becomes ready for the next power interruption event. The use of the SuperCapacitor for energy storage provides a very low maintenance solution with extremely high cycle life and without the shelf life concerns of typical battery backup systems. The SCUPS® is perfect for low power remote systems where primary power can be interrupted. Typical applications include remote locations with intermittent grid power or renewable energy systems such as solar powered systems. The SCUPS® Model 1026 is also available as a standalone desktop unit (See Model 1027, Cat No 301027).
