March 27, 2008
Three Phase Input to DC Output UPS
Always On’s new Three Phase DC Rectifier enables the controlling and monitoring of the DC
output of the UPS system. This new system compliments our product line with the addition of
the DC output option to our current Three Phase UPS systems.
The versatile Rectifier is designed specifically for:

Figure 1: Control Panel Display
The Orion System allows authorized personnel to monitor, adjust and maintain the system
through an intuitive, easy to use LCD-display Control Panel. The key functions of the Control
Panel are password protected to prevent unauthorized access.
This interface provides the customer with a wealth of information regarding the status of the
system, key information, logged events and alarms as well control and configuration
functions. These features are described in detail below.
