Sentinel Tower UPS

Sentinel Tower

Power Range

5 - 10 kVA/kW
  • 1:1
  • 1-3:1

Sentinel Tower protects mission-critical systems such as safety devices, telecommunications equipment and IT systems, where maximum power reliability is essential.

The 5 - 10 kVA/kW range uses on-line double conversion (VFI) technology with a three-level inverter to achieve 95% efficiency, and its unity power factor means more real power delivered to your load. The 5 and 6 kVA/kW models are single-phase in and out, while the 8 and 10 kVA/kW models can be installed on either a single-phase or a three-phase supply.

Up to three units can run in parallel for extra capacity or 2+1 redundancy. Selectable ECO Mode raises efficiency to as much as 98%, built-in castors simplify positioning, and ER versions with more powerful battery chargers are available for longer runtimes.

Characteristics

  • Small footprint
  • Power factor 1
  • High efficiency 95%
  • Parallelable up to 3 units
  • 3 level inverter
  • Maintenance bypass
  • High quality output voltage
  • Total microprocessor and DSP control.
  • Interruption-free static and manual bypass;
  • Specifications guaranteed up to 40 °C (the components are designed to work at high temperatures and thus are subject to less stress at normal temperatures).

Parallel configuration of 3 units for (2+1) redundant or power parallel system. The UPS continue to operate in parallel even if the connection cable is interrupted (Closed Loop).

  • More power delivered;
  • More real output power (W).

The operating mode can be programmed via software or manually via the front display panel.

  • ON LINE: efficiency up to 95%;
  • ECO Mode: to increase efficiency (up to to 98%), allows for the selection of LINE INTERACTIVE technology (VI) to power low priority loads from the mains supply;
  • SMART ACTIVE: the UPS automatically decides upon the operating mode (VI or VFI) based on the quality of the mains power supply;
  • STANDBY OFF: the UPS can be selected to function only when the mains power supply fails (emergency only mode);
  • Frequency Converter operation (50 or 60 Hz).
  • Even with non-linear loads (IT loads with a crest factor of up to 3:1);
  • High short circuit current on bypass;
  • High overload capacity: 150% by inverter (even with mains failure);
  • Filtered, stabilised and reliable voltage (double conversion ON LINE technology - VFI compliant with EN62040-3), with filters for the suppression of atmospheric disturbances;
  • Power factor correction: UPS input power factor close to 1 and sinusoidal current uptake.
  • UPS can be installed on a single-phase or three-phase distribution network STW 8000 and STW 10000;
  • Output terminal board + 2 IEC sockets for powering local consumers (computers, devices, etc.);
  • Simplified positioning (built-in castors).
  • Automatic and manual battery test.
  • Proper battery care is critical to ensuring correct UPS operation in emergency conditions. The battery care system consists of a series of features and capabilities to optimise battery management and obtain the best performance and operating life possible;
  • Unlimited extendible runtime using matching Battery cabinets;
  • The batteries do not cut in during mains failures of <20 ms (high hold up time) or when the input supply is between 184 V to 276 V.

Sinusoidal uptake of input current on single-phase/single-phase series.

Optional battery extension packs can be connected to increase UPS runtime. In addition the Sentinel Tower range includes ER versions with no internal batteries and more powerful controlled battery chargers 6 A for longer runtimes.

  • Advanced diagnostics: status, measurements and alarms available on new custom LCD display;
  • Low noise (<45 dBA): can be installed in any environment thanks to its high frequency switching inverter and PWM load-dependent digitally controlled fan (>20 kHz, value above audible range);
  • Auto restart (automatic when mains supply is restored, programmable via software;
  • Backfeed protection standard: to prevent energy from being fed back to the network;
  • UPS digital updating (flash upgradeable).
  • Advanced multi-platform communications for all operating systems and network environments: PowerShield3 monitoring and shutdown software for Windows operating systems 11, 10, 8, Server 2022, 2019, 2016 and previous versions, Windows Server Virtualization Hyper-V, macOS, Linux, Citrix XenServer and other Unix operating systems;
  • RS232 serial and USB ports;
  • Plug and play function;
  • Slot for installation of communications boards.
