May. 2008 / Rev. 1.1  DS-UBC10.241-EN 
All parameters are specified at an input voltage of 24V, 10A output load, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time  
unless otherwise noted. It is assumed that the input power source can deliver a sufficient output current.

The DC-UPS switches into buffer mode and delivers 
output voltage from the battery if the input was above 
the turn-on level before and all other buffer conditions 
are fulfilled.

*)   The DC-UPS shows “Check Wiring” with the red LED and buffering is not possible 
**)  The total input current is the sum of the output current, the current which is 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. 
***) Please note: This is the input current and not the current which flows into the battery during charging. The battery current can 
be found in chapter 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 
effect of the current limitation 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.
