UPS first to offer UL 1778 HAZLOC rating

The QUINT UPS-IQ 500 VA AC UPS received UL 1778 Recognition and is the first industrial control cabinet ac uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to be certified for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. The rail-mounted UPS monitors a scalable battery solution and provides the user with critical operating data. The batteries range from 1.3 to 38 Ah lead acid type and include a lithium-ion 120-Wh version. Each of the batteries has an individual UL listing for CID2 hazardous locations.

The intelligent battery modules used in the QUINT IQ system determine if the battery is fully charged, how long the battery backup will last, if the battery needs replacement, and if the battery can supply the proper amount of energy. It manages the battery status and displays all of the relevant data on the UPS’s front panel or transmits it to a computer using Modbus serial module.
