Harland Simon UPS Helps To Meet Demands For Less Energy Use

Harland Simon UPS, one of the UK's leading resellers of Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems and Services now promotes and stocks the new, improved version of the Chloride Active range of single phase UPS.

Incorporating Green Mode function, the new Active range allows automated shutdown of the UPS unit when there is no load supported by it, preventing energy wastage. Active is available from 700 - 3,000VA in rack and tower versions and provides efficiencies of up to 97%, making it ideal for protecting critical IT business systems such as servers, networks, workstations and VoIP technologies.

Active's innovative rack or tower convertible design allows it to be deployed in either format, making it ideal for environments where space is at a premium. It fits easily into our 19" rack enclosures. The new Active has easy to use LED and LCD user interfaces. Harland Simon can provide the external battery packs allowing for an increased range of autonomies giving further flexibility in the management of an organisation's backup power infrastructure. The Active range offers the highest output power factor of 0.9 for both leading and lagging loads. Through Active's controllable output sockets, businesses can intelligently manage the loads, which are protected by the UPS.

Additionally, the new version of Active UPS is fully compatible with Harland Simon's existing connectivity solutions giving centralised control of distributed or remote UPS systems and enabling safe network shutdown.
