Enterprise-Grade Power Protection
The F18 IOT 6000W uses true double-conversion online topology to continuously convert incoming AC power to DC, then back to clean, stable AC output. This process isolates connected equipment from all input power anomalies including voltage fluctuations, frequency variations, harmonics, and electrical noise. The result is a pure sine wave output with ±1% voltage accuracy, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for sensitive servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and industrial controllers.
Smart IOT Communication and Monitoring
Built for the modern connected data centre, the F18 IOT includes an integrated IOT communication port as standard, enabling seamless integration with cloud monitoring platforms. The intuitive LCD user interface provides at-a-glance status updates, while multiple communication ports support power management software, optional SNMP cards, Wi-Fi modules, and relay cards. The unit also features HID and PCBA conformal coating for enhanced reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Flexible Configuration and Scalability
Designed for maximum flexibility, the F18 IOT 6000W supports:
-
Dual Input: Separate primary and bypass power inputs for enhanced availability
-
1+1 Parallel Capability: Connect up to 3 units in parallel for redundancy or increased capacity
-
Wide Input Voltage Range: 160-275V at full load, 110-160V with linear derating to 50% load
-
Hardwired Input/Output: L/N/PE terminal connections for permanent installation (Note: NO BATTERIES INCLUDED - requires minimum one F18-IOT-EBM-240V-RT external battery module)
-
Automatic EBM Detection: Automatically detects the number of connected external battery modules
-
Digital Charger: Adjustable charging current from 2-12A for optimised battery management
-
Optional Maintenance Bypass Module: Allows safe servicing without powering down critical loads
