2.1 Brief Overview
LED display and a pushbutton switch are located on the front

the rear of the PROTECT A., as are the communication
interfaces and connections for telephone lines. Important UPS
data is monitored permanently and transferred to the
computer via USB or the RS232 interface and using the
CompuWatch software.

♦ VI (line – interactive) protection technology
♦ Automatic voltage regulation against mains voltage
deviations (AVR)
♦ Microprocessor control for high reliability
♦ Modern battery management with integrated protection
against exhaust. discharge and overloading
