Backup time
Time that the connected equipment can operate on battery power if AC-input power fails.
Bargraph
Device on the front panel indicating the percent remaining backup time or the percent
load.
Booster mode
Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is increased if it drops
below a value set in the personalisation parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.
De-energised
The UPS must be physically disconnected from the AC-input power.
Equipment
Devices and systems connected to the UPS output.
Fader mode
Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is decreased if it rises
above a value set in the personalisation parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.
Input circuit breaker

Outlets
Pulsar Evolution has a group of four non-programmable outlets.
Personalisation
The parameters for a number of UPS functions may be modified using the UPS Driver
software to adapt UPS operation to user needs.
Programmable outlets
Pulsar Evolution has two groups of two programmable outlets. They may be used for
sequential start-up of protected equipment, shedding of non-priority loads during
operation on battery power or management of operating priorities to provide the most
critical devices with more backup time before battery power runs out. These outlets may
be programmed using the Solution-Pac software on the CD-ROM supplied with the
UPS.
