1.0 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Trace Unrestricted Run-
Time - Uninterruptible Power System (UR-UPS) from
Xantrex Technology Inc. The Trace UR-UPS takes DC
energy stored in a battery, or battery-bank, and converts
it to usable AC power to provide backup support in the
event of a power failure. When AC power is restored, the
UR-UPS recharges the batteries and keeps them ready
for future use.
Internal circuity protects the batteries from over-
discharge by shutting down the inverter when a user-
defined, low-battery condition occurs. The control panel
features LEDs for reading system status.
The Trace UR-UPS is microprocessor-controlled and
produces a modified sine wave for use with a variety of
electrical appliances, including computers.
Basic Features and Functions
Basic features and functions include the following.
• 500 or 1000 watts output (depending on model) for
entry-level, backup power applications
• Models for 12-volt or 24-volt DC input
• Automatic transfer to inverter mode when the AC
supply is interrupted, with selectable transfer
sensitivity
• Duplex, 15-amp, grounded AC outlets
(120 Vac/60 Hz models only)
• 15 amp, AC pass-through circuit, with selectable
threshold for AC input
• Configurable battery type selection for liquid or gel type
batteries
• Three-stage battery charger
• Control-panel LEDs for status and error indication
• Battery voltage indicator
• Selectable low-battery cut-out to protect the batteries
from over-discharge
• Automatic cooling fan
