This new high performance unit has been designed primarily to provide vital back-up power for critical security systems in the event of an input power failure.

The miniature UPS measures only 95 x 57 x 34 mm and, to optimise performance, incorporates the latest Li-Po (Lithium-ion Polymer) battery technology. Able to back-up 12V dc devices up to 10W (800mA), including CCTV cameras and door locks, the new UPS12-2200 can also be deployed in conjunction with Elmdene's VRS121000EB AND VRS121000EE encapsulated power supply units from its Vision range.

The back-up time delivered by the UPS is up to 2 ½ hours dependent on the load. Other key features of the UPS12-2200 include: surge and lightning protection, an advanced battery life management system and in-built protection against overload and short circuit. A LED indicator offers simple visual indication of status.

Said Ian Moore, Managing Director at Elmdene International Limited: "At Elmdene we believe that the UPS12-2200 meets a real need in the marketplace for a small footprint UPS solution that can provide the back-up demanded by today's security systems. With our UPS in place users have the reassurance that, should there be a power outage, a safety net is in place allowing critical CCTV and other security elements to function rather than simply going off-line and leaving security gaps which criminals may look to exploit."
