Reference Manual
All parameters are specified at 24V, 10A output load, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless noted otherwise.
It is assumed that the input power source can deliver a sufficient output current.

*) The DC-UPS shows “Check Wiring” with the red LED and buering is not possible
**) The total input current is the sum of the output current plus the current required to charge the battery during the charging
process and the current which is needed to supply the DC-UPS itself. See also Fig. 5-2. This calculation does not apply
in overload situations where the DC-UPS limits the output current, therefore see
Fig. 5-3
.

is indicated in section 8.

Electronic output current limitation
The DC-UPS is equipped with an electronic output
current limitation. This current limitation works
in a switching mode which reduces the power
losses and heat generation to a minimum. As a
result, the output voltage drops since there is not
enough current to support the load. A positive
eect of the current limit ation in switching mode
is that the input current goes down despite an
increase in the output current resulting in less
stress for the supplying source.
