1600EP Series Instruction Manual
Product Description
An uninterruptible power system 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 long enough 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 at 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.
Application and Use
Toshiba 1600EP Series of on-line uninterruptible power system (UPS) provides continuous computer-
grade AC power in a compact, high performance, and energy efcient unit. The UPS unit assures safe
and reliable operation of critical ofce equipment. This can range from word processors and personal
computers to mini-computers and local area networks. 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 in
retaining the valuable ofce data banks. All units allow for computer interfacing.

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.
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 heavy use of raw 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.
