24V, 20A, DC-UPS 
1. TERMINOLOGY AND ABBREVIATIONS 
DC-UPS  Abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply system with a DC input and a DC output. 
A DC-UPS utilizes batteries as back-up energy source. 
Power supply mode  Describes a condition where the input voltage is in the rated input voltage range and the 
supplying power supply can deliver a sufficient amount of current for the DC-UPS and the 
load. Additionally it is assumed that the output is loaded within the allowed limits and the 
battery is charged, if necessary. 
The mode can also be called “Normal mode”. 
Battery mode  Describes a condition where the input voltage is below the transfer threshold level, the unit 
is running on batteries (buffering) and the output is loaded within the allowed limits. 
The mode can also be called “Buffer mode”. 
Normal mode  see “Power supply mode” 
Buffer mode  see “Battery mode” 
Inhibit mode  Describes a condition where buffering is disabled on purpose (e.g. for service actions). 
T.b.d.  To be defined, value or description will follow later. 
DC 24V  A figure displayed with the AC or DC before the value represents a nominal voltage with 
standard tolerances included. 
E.g.: DC 12V describes a 12V battery disregarding whether it is full (13.7V) or flat (10V). 
24Vdc  A figure with the unit (Vdc) at the end is a momentary figure without any additional 
tolerances included. 
may  A key word indicating flexibility of choice with no implied preference. 
shall  A key word indicating a mandatory requirement. 
should  A key word indicating flexibility of choice with a strongly preferred implementation.
