Key Features
-
True Double-Conversion Topology: Provides pure sine wave output with zero transfer time to battery backup, ensuring continuous power conditioning and complete isolation from input power issues
-
Unity 1.0 Power Factor: Output power in watts equals the VA rating (1000VA = 1000W), maximising usable power and equipment compatibility
-
Cloud Connectivity & IoT: Future-proof design allows seamless integration with cloud platforms for real-time remote monitoring via any internet-connected device
-
High Efficiency: Over 97% efficiency rating reduces energy costs and heat generation
-
Flexible Rack/Tower Design: Compact 2RU footprint with convertible mounting options for rack or tower installation
-
LCD User Interface: Simplifies monitoring and configuration with clear status displays
Advanced Power Protection
The F18 IOT series delivers online power quality with true double-conversion architecture, continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and back to AC. This ensures pure sine wave output, protecting sensitive IT equipment from surges, sags, spikes, and harmonics. The grouped programmable outlets (8 x IEC C13 in two groups of 4) enable intelligent load management and sequential shutdown capabilities.
Scalable & Expandable
Designed for growth, the F18 IOT supports optional external battery modules (EBM) for extended runtime, with automatic detection of connected battery packs. The hot-swappable battery design allows easy replacement without powering down connected equipment. A wide voltage input range ensures stable operation in challenging power environments, while the adjustable charging current (0-4A) optimises battery health.
Comprehensive Connectivity & Management
Multiple communication options include RS-232, USB, and support for optional SNMP cards, relay cards, and Wi-Fi modules. The included power management software enables automated graceful shutdowns and detailed power event logging. With dual input capability and optional maintenance bypass modules, the F18 IOT is ideal for environments requiring maximum uptime and serviceability.
