New Rugged-UPS^™ Automatically Shuts Off During Roll-Overs

Most RUPS (Rugged Uninterruptible Power Supply) units and power conditioners remain "on" during vehicle and power equipment roll-oversdue to shock, vibration or kinetic impact during combat. UPS systems remaining on in those situations pose a safety risk to vehicle occupants, power generators, and sensitive electronics. Addressing that risk, Acumentrics Corporation recently introduced the Rugged-UPS™ 2500 DC series of uninterruptible power supply and/or power conditioner units that automatically sense the orientation of the vehicle or piece of equipment, and shut off. These units can also send a 12 VDC trigger signal to another system, for example, to relay an emergency alarm. View Shepard Article

New Products: Shut UPS
