Uninterruptible Power Supply
SENTINEL 5 PLUS 6-10kVA
Sentinel 5 Plus is a range of UPSs with ON-LINE double conversion technology and with 'zero' transfer time. The load is always powered by the inverter, which supplies true sinusoidal voltage that is free from electrical interference.

High immunity to lightning
A device providing protection from input and output overvoltages means that Sentinel 5 Plus is able to withstand input overvoltages of up to 6kV, in accordance with IEC 801-5, thus ensuring the maximum protection to the powered load.
Total microprocessor control
Digital control of the appliance considerably improves system reliability, reduces unit dimensions and weight, and significantly increases control and communications capabilities.
Battery optimization
The UPS periodically performs a battery efficiency test. The batteries are not actuated during micro-interruptions (40 ms), which are the most common type of mains interference, since the required energy is drawn from a group of capacitors. This system (battery saving) extends the life of the batteries. A similar feature is provided by the Active Control (LRCD) of the battery current even during the discharge phase, which means that the alternating components on the battery can be eliminated. The Sentinel 5 Plus range also comes with a device to protect against deep discharges, which can affect the expected battery life.
Advanced communication
The EPI Watch & Save software ensures effective and intuitive management of the UPS. Important information such as the input and output voltage, the load applied, the remaining back-up time, etc., is displayed in the form of bar graphs. The software is able to provide information even in the event of a failure, and can also programme the UPS for automatic weekly start-up and shutdown. The UPS also contains the following hardware interfaces:
  • RS232 serial port,
  • Dry contacts,
  • EPO (Emergency Power Off) contact for UPS shutdown from the remote emergency button.
The UPS comes with an expansion slot for optional communication boards such as Netman and MultiCom.
Remote support service
TELEGUARD is a remote troubleshooting system which can signal any kind of unexpected event in real time. Any fault is immediately signalled, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to the AROS control centre, which can take immediate action either remotely or on site. Your UPS is always under the watchful eyes of an AROS expert. Plus, a report is provided periodically, detailing all the significant events that have taken place during the monitored period.
Extending the back-up time
Battery expansion is envisaged to increase the back-up time of the UPS. Battery chargers can be used to reduce recharging times.
Mimic panel
The Sentinel 5 Plus range comes with an on-board mimic panel. This provides information on the operating status of the UPS by means of LEDs, an LCD display made up of two rows of 20 characters, an audible indicator and five control buttons.
Maximum safety for personnel
The UPS has a back feed protection device that prevents any back feed current from the UPS towards the mains power supply, thus ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel.
Extending the back-up time
Battery expansion is envisaged for the e-Sentinel 200 model, so as to increase the back-up time of the UPS.
Maximum flexibility
The UPS can be connected to a single phase or three phase mains supply (except for 6000 VA). This can be carried out directly at the installation site. The UPS can be programmed to operate as a frequency converter with batteries.
Low consumption
Three different operating modes are provided with a view to reduce power consumption. These modes can be programmed to suit the requirements of the user and of the load to be powered:
  • Economy Mode: the UPS uses Line Interactive technology; the load is powered from the mains, the energy consumption is reduced and the efficiency is improved.
  • Smart Active Mode: the UPS automatically selects On Line or Line Interactive operating mode according to the quality of the mains supply, by monitoring the number, frequency and type of disturbances that are present.
  • Stand by Off (back-up unit): the UPS only powers the loads when there is a mains failure. The inverter starts operation gradually in order to avoid inrush currents. This feature makes the UPS ideal for emergency lighting power supply.
Reduced noise
Through the use of high frequency components and fan speed control, the noise level of the UPS is under 45 dBA.
Applications
Small/medium computer networks, Local Area Networks (LAN), Workstations, Servers, EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) systems.
