Acumentrics Introduces the Powerful and Lightweight Rugged Blade UPS(TM)



Rugged and Reliable Power for Military Applications

WESTWOOD, MA, - Acumentrics has announced its powerful and portable Rugged Blade UPS. Far lighter in weight than most rugged UPS products, this double on-line conversion UPS brings a new level of power density to a wide range of military applications and environments.

Acumentrics uses advanced technologies in power conditioning, high performance digital controls and innovative high frequency conversion to create the Rugged Blade UPS. Despite being lightweight, it is packed with technology to provide 1250VA/1000W of AC or DC output power, and is scalable up to 8 kilowatts. The Rugged Blade UPS is approximately 60% lighter than the company's current 1250VA product at only 28 lbs with the optional Li-ion battery pack and 33.5 lbs with the lead acid battery pack. It is a slim 1U profile at 1.75" high, 17" wide and 21 ¾" deep. Its small package and lighter weight make it the ideal solution for supporting combat mission communications and surveillance applications.

Featuring Acumentrics' unique Flo-Thru(TM) technology, the Rugged Blade UPS utilizes a heatsink tunnel design and gasket-sealed enclosure that offers maximum protection for components from the damaging effects of moisture, airborne particles, and other contaminates in the operating environment. The Rugged Blade UPS' variable speed fan and heat monitoring algorithms provide the airflow rate for ideal cooling while minimizing noise.

Acumentrics' Rugged Blade UPS features a choice of battery pack options: light, long cycle life Li-Ion or low maintenance, valve-regulated lead acid batteries. Batteries are enclosed in a user-replaceable battery pack for rapid, hot-swap field replacement.
This product accepts a wide range of voltage and frequencies, while providing clean, reliable AC and DC power as well as seamless input transition from AC shore power to DC power to the battery. The Rugged Blade UPS provides True Worldwide Input(TM), offering compatibility with global voltages and frequencies. It accepts AC input power from 80 VAC to 265 VAC and 47 to 440 Hz as well as DC input of 22 VDC to 32 VDC volts.
