CBI All-in-One DC-UPS Power Solutions
Everything and more!
These devices are completely automatic and can charge any kind of battery using factory pre-set charging curves suitable to the most common battery technologies: open lead acid, sealed lead acid, lead gel, Ni-Cd and Ni-MH. These devices are very flexible and can be customized to meet the needs of the user and the requirements of the application. After the installation, it is possible to carry out functional software updates just using any laptop computer. Doing so, your system can always be updated to changing requirements. The Battery Care concept is based on algorithms that implement rapid and automatic charging, battery charge optimization during time, flat batteries recovery and real time diagnostic during installation and operation. Battery faults such as battery sulfated, elements in short circuit, accidental reverse polarity connection can easily be detected, identified and removed. The All in one Series meet the highest standards of quality and insure high reliability, with MTBF values up to 300.000 hours.
C-TEC / AC-C-TEC / CTEC-P / CEM DC-UPS Ultra Capacitor Power Solutions
Ultra Capacitor based technologies provide an attractive yet efficient platform for both simple and complex applications.
DC-UPS systems are an absolute must in a world of uncertainties. DC-UPS helps to prolong the operation of machinery and controlled processes in the event of power outages or in case of power dips and sags.
Altech Corporation offers a wide variety of products for DC-UPS systems starting at 2 A and up to 40 A along with monitoring / setup software, and comprehensive support.
The DC Back-Ups from Altech Corp.® utilize Ultra Capacitors as an innovative way to store energy within a compact design. In the event of a main power supply interruption, the energy stored in the Ultra Capacitors is released. The load is energized from the buffer module, until it‘s depleted.
Back up times depend on the state of the charge of the Ultra Capacitors and the load in which they are supplying. Compared with standard buffer modules, Ultra Capacitor units are capable of prolonged back-up times (up to 55 minutes) and fast discharges. Capacitors excel at controlled shutdown functions and allowing for the protection of computer systems. Back-up times are dependent on the load and amount of Capacitors within the unit. Back up times can be calculated to better serve the requirements of required functions.

FLEX Power Single Phase / Two and Three Phase Power Supplies
More flexibility in input voltage
The FLEX line of power supplies are suitable to a wide range
of input voltage. With a single type it is therefore possible to
meet the requirements of more applications and consequently
improve design activity and stock management.
More Power: Power Boost
As an example, PSA-18024 is a 24Vdc power supply that features a continuous duty current of 7.5A at 110°C and 5A at 60°C and a Power Boost of 150%, equivalent to 7.5A, for at least 3 min. This features allows the use of a smaller size unit to power demanding loads such as motors, solenoid valves, lamps and other loads with transient overload behavior which would otherwise require an oversize power supply.
As an example, PSA-18024 can be the right solution for two design cases in very different temperature conditions:
Power Good relay for monitoring the output voltage level
Output voltage is continuously monitored. The units 24 VDC output are equipped with Power Good relay. The NO contact triggers any time the output voltage level goes below 20Vdc (24 Vdc output). This feature is particularly useful in redundant applications.
Applications in compliance with EN 60204-1 standard
The FLEX Power units comply with the requirement of EN60204-1 standard that an overload of 50% over the nominal current be withstand by the power supply for at least 1 hour to allow the tripping of magneto-thermic switches on the output. These features allows the implementation of “Control of commands and Emergency stops” by means of industrial PCs, PLC, remote I/O, etc. required by the standard.
Hiccup Mode Automatic Restart
This is the default factory setting of all FLEX Power units. In case of shortcircuit or overloading, the output current is interrupted. The device tries again to re-establish output voltage and normal condition about every 2 second till the problem is cleared.
Manual Reset Mode Restart by Operator
In case of short-circuit or overload, the output current is interrupted. In order to restart the output it is necessary to switch-off the input circuit for about 1 minute. This protection mode is particularly suggested in applications where safety procedures require that reset be carried out only by an authorized person.
Continuous Output mode
In case of short-circuit or overload, the output current is kept at high values with near zero voltage. In case of short circuit the current can reach up to 3 times the rated current at 60°C. This protection mode is used to meet the requirements of demanding loads such as motors, solenoid valves, lamps, PLC with highly capacitive input circuits and other loads with marked transient overload behavior.
Output circuits protected by magneto-thermic circuit breakers
Standard output circuit breakers can be triggered quickly and reliably with FLEX technology, which allows three times the nominal current at 60°C. Defective current paths are selectively disconnected, the defect is limited and the important parts of the system remain in operation. This together with the 50% overload capacity in compliance with EN60204-1 allows to safely manage any overload and short circuit condition.
Reduced dimensions and snap-on DIN rail bracket
The higher performances obtained with the FLEX Power line, allow almost half dimensions as conventional technology and higher performances. An example is the PSA-12024 (120V) with maximum current is 12A. In permanent duty at 40°C it can deliver 5A at 24Vdc. All FLEX units feature the new DIN rail mounting bracket, easy to use and safe against heavy loading and vibrations.
Easy Parallel connection
With FLEX technology it is easy to double capacity. The units PSA-360, PSB-360, PSA-600 and PSB-600 can be easily connected in parallel without needing high precision instruments. Follow instructions supplied with each unit.
