How many watts, and is this indoor (controlled environment) or outdoor? We have several of the Alpha AC UPS systems and like them, you have to want most of the features though to justify the price. For larger sites with rackmount cabinets we have several FXM 650 or 1100, and we now have 2 smaller sites where we added a Micro 350 which is a self-contained outdoor UPS.
There are a few minor complaints like password is limited to 4 digits and SNMP MIB is not well documented, but otherwise they have been rock solid, which I cannot say for some of the previous solutions we used. That said, most of our towers now are built as DC sites.

The "remote port" is for a control panel at max 10m from the unit. If it had status relays that would be something. Even nicer would be a network module with Web/SNMP access like an APC. I suppose if you add something to monitor battery voltage and the AC power status then you could make do. ------ Original Message ------ From: "SmarterBroadband" <li...@smarterbroadband.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 7/22/2016 12:18:34 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Inverter / Charger UPS For example http://www.theinverterstore.com/2000-watt-pure-sine-inverter-charger-48-volt.html Adam From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of SmarterBroadband Sent: Friday, July 22, 2016 9:10 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Inverter / Charger UPS We have been using 48v APC UPS’s in our cabinets, removing the internal batteries and adding 4 large Deeps Cycles batteries. Seems to be a waste of cabinet space to continue doing this. Has anyone used Inverter Charges to replace a UPS? I assume we should only look at Pure Sine Wave? Most of these seem to be at 12 volts. Like to hear what has worked for others. Thanks Adam
