expanded UPS product line

The expansion of our UPS offering is intended to give our customers a more complete line of products for most of their installations New ‘Select Series’ products will help neutralize lost business due to price, lower end application, and less need for advanced features The inclusion of smaller form factor models as well as including some premium features will give us the competitive advantage against lower cost competition select series - UPS

Applicable Loads: PC Desktops Consumer Electronics Simulated Sine Wave V t V t Applicable Loads: Active PFC Power Supply Units Sensitive Devices Critical Equipment High End AV Gear Pure Sine Wave UPS waveform types

Line Interactive (vs. Online) with Energy Saver circuitry –Silent operation and reduces UPS power consumption up to 75% 4 millisecond transfer time (¼ cycle) ensures no system disruption or equipment lockup Pure Sine Wave technology provides the cleanest power for sensitive devices Automatic Voltage Regulation ensures a stable 120VAC output IP addressable models available with bank or individual outlet control – bank control available on non-IP models for load shedding Hot swappable battery for easy service – front panel access uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

MAP recommends Premium Series UPS (pure sine wave) for backing up all professional AV gear –Required for Pro-AV / live sound applications –High end analog AV equipment requires pure sine wave –Also commonly used in large network installations (data centers) –Must be used when equipment has Power Factor Correction (PFC) What is Power Factor Correction? –An expensive feature included with some very high end network and AV equipment –Adjusts power signal to allow for more efficient operation Most beneficial with equipment that uses a lot of energy Broadcast industry equipment rooms – data centers – very high end AV gear –Common in components that draw a large amount of AC power –Not common in consumer electronics –Must be called out in specification sheets for equipment that utilizes this technology why pure sine wave?

PFC – what to look for DriveCore Install Analog Series

Middle Atlantic’s new Select Series UPS have a simulated sine wave output –Lower cost alternative –Works well with most consumer electronics and PC’s Lamp based projection DVR Gaming consoles Satellite / cable boxes Most control systems –Our competition is primarily simulated sine wave output APC residential UPS (mainly an IT company) Panamax / Furman (mainly residential) Tripp Lite AV specific UPS (mainly an IT company) The result is a lower cost alternative that retains many of the premium features –IP compatibility in all models plus local USB –Bank control and load shedding –Boost up AVR –8ms transfer time – short enough for the most sensitive equipment –Line to Neutral surge protection why simulated sine wave?

Select Series UPS will be available in four sizes –500va (1RU) – 9” depth –1000va (1RU) – 15” depth –1500va (2RU) – 15” depth –2200va (2RU) – 15” depth Simulated sine wave output –Works with the majority of digital AV gear in the market –Lower cost alternative to pure sine wave All units are IP compatible, unlike most of our competition at this price point –IP card is separate –Control via IP or local USB (no RS-232 connectivity) Bank control included –Reset equipment when hung up –2 nd line of defense if a device’s remote management is inaccessible Select Series product basics
