presentation of Pulsar
benefits
Network servers and data are very sensitive to
electrical disturbances of all types including
outages, brownout, voltage sags, interference, etc.
The origins of disturbances also vary, ranging from
atmospheric phenomena such as lightning or frost,
to near-by devices generating interference such as
elevators, copiers and machine-tools, not to
mention human errors such as the accidental
pulling out of power cords or tripping of circuit
breakers. The consequences of disturbances on
computer systems range from damage to hardware
(power supplies, hard disks) to the loss of data.
Pulsar ESV+ has been specially designed to
protect network servers and all other
interconnection devices that are sensitive to
electrical disturbances. Pulsar ESV+ adds fault-
tolerance to the power source supplying your
server.
Pulsar ESV+ is designed as a compact unit and
performs with a great silent operation mode. It may
be installed on the desk without any loose of room.
It may be also installed in a rack (see further).
Due to its backup battery, Pulsar ESV+ protects
your system for several minutes (see the
"characteristics" section) in the event of a power
failure. A built-in filtering system protects your
application from line interference. Finally, to
counter voltage sags or spikes, Pulsar ESV+ uses
voltage compensation circuits ("booster" and
"fader" modes) to guarantee a stable supply of
clean power.
As standard, Pulsar ESV+ offers the PowerShare
function that was until now reserved for large
UPSs. Power outputs may be remotely controlled,
thus making possible sequential start-ups of the
different elements of the application, selective load
shedding in the event of an overload and priority
management at the end of battery autonomy to
protect the most sensitive load.

Pulsar ESV+ offers a number of functions and
characteristics intended to simplify power
management:
c automatic battery test carried out periodically. In
the event of a fault, a LED provides enough
advance warning for battery replacement;
c LEDs on the front signalling all types of faults
and alarms;
c bargraph continuously indicating the battery
charge level or the computer-application load level;
c environment friendly: all components are
recyclable and an electronic power-saver device
reduces consumption if the UPS is not active for a
period exceeding five minutes;
c Pulsar ESV+ incluses user-replaceable
batteries, no need to power off connected
equipments to replace them;
c ESV Driver software is part of our CD-ROM
It lets you edit the default parameters of Pulsar to
ideally match your requirements;
c Pusar ESV+ is Plug and Play: its installation on
Windows 95 is fully automatic;
c advanced operation and monitoring of Pulsar
are achieved by means of the Solution-Pac
CD-ROM included in your package. To know more
about all the advanced features offered (system
shutdown, remote monitoring, SNMP
administration,...) please view the navigator tool of
the CD-ROM;
c fax/modem/Internet protection is built-in to
ensure safe data transmission.
options
c warranty extension up to four years: the
standard two-year guarantee may, in certain
countries, be extended to four years to ensure total
peace of mind;
c FT additional outlet block: if you wish to
connect more than four devices to the Pulsar ESV
or if your devices are not equipped with the
Pulsar ESV +: E-51032616XT/AA
standard EEC plug, the FT connector offers four
additional sockets (three for UK type plugs);
c battery extension module: Pulsar EB 22XLA
battery extension modules lengthen the battery
backup time of Pulsar ESV 22+ to meet your
requirements;
c rack installation kit: this kit is used to install
Pulsar ESV in a 19-inch rack. The kit is performed
to receive two Pulsar ESV+, offering therefore up
to 2800VA of power supply;
c UM Sensor environment measurement unit:
compatible with SNMP, this unit measures the
temperature and the relative humidity in the room
where the Pulsar ESV+ is installed. Eight relay
contacts are provided to transmit signals to an
administration platform.
c SNMP administration: MGE UPS SYSTEMS
.
has the most complete offering for the
(*)
administration of a group of UPSs using the SNMP
protocol with different network-connection modules
(UM Link adaptor or proxy UM Agent software),
supervision modules (dedicated software under
Windows UM View or application for NMS
platforms such as HP OpenView or Novell NMS)
and a file-closing module (UM Client). The
MGE UPS SYSTEMS offering complies with RFC
1628 specifications (IETF) and was certified by the
InterWorking Labs during the Test Summit in June
1994;
c SNMP card: this card, inserted into your unit,
makes your UPS SNMP-compatible in any
environment;
c status information card: this option provides
you with 3 data elements on volt free contact:
operating on battery, low battery warning,
operating on utility power.
Contact your dealer for further information on these
options.
