16 1600XPi Series UPS Installation and Operation Manual – 60616-014
8 Product Description
An uninterruptible power system (UPS) is a system that is installed between the commercial power and the load equipment.
The UPS provides steady AC output power during commercial power short-term blackouts or brownouts. This power is
provided for a sucient amount of time so that the load can be shut down in an orderly fashion. This prevents loss of data
and possible damage to both hardware and software.
During normal operation, the UPS uses commercial AC power. It absorbs all of the high voltage spikes and transients
caused by switching and faults, and all of the common-mode and normal mode noise which is associated with commercial
AC power. The UPS converts it all to clean DC power. From this power, the UPS charges its batteries and generates its
own extremely high quality AC waveform output. The result of this process is maximum power conditioning and regulation.
If the AC power supplied to the UPS drops below a specied voltage level, the unit’s batteries automatically begin supplying
power instead of receiving it. This insures that the loads connected to the UPS continue to receive power with no interruption.
When AC input power becomes available again, operation returns to normal. The unit’s batteries begin to recharge so they
will be ready for the next power interruption.
8.1 Application and Use
Toshiba 1600XPi Series of On-Line UPS provides continuous computer-grade AC power in a compact, high performance,
and energy ecient unit. The UPS unit ensures safe and reliable operation of critical oce equipment. All units feature an
audible alarm which sounds if the battery voltage drops below a specied minimum during use. This is an additional aid to
help protect valuable oce data banks. All units allow for computer interfacing.

8.3 Power Backup
When an electrical power failure occurs, the UPS’s internal batteries automatically supply back-up power to the load without
interruption. For example, when used to support a computer, the UPS back-up assures enough additional time to complete
the activity and store the data. This allows an orderly shutdown after a power failure has occurred.
8.4 Power Conditioning
When commercial power is present, the UPS supplies conditioned power to the load while maintaining its batteries in a
charged condition. The UPS protects against the normal, everyday problems associated with unreliable commercial
power, including power sags, surges, signal interference, and spikes. This protection keeps power-line problems from
reaching your load, where they can cause equipment to operate erratically, or damage software and hardware.
