Performance and High Availability Superior Performance and Power Quality
Using new high frequency line-interactive technology, the Pulsar Evolution delivers a sinewave output, correcting voltage variations and offering wide input voltage tolerances (up to 150V 294V). Software, included with every UPS, allows you to adjust the main operating parameters, such as input and output voltages, to ensure compatibility in all conditions.

Ultra High Availability

Hot-swappable batteries are standard in all Pulsar Evolution UPSs making access quick and easy from the front of the UPS, greatly reducing the risk of downtime. Battery extension modules can be added to the 2200 and 3000 VA models in either tower or rack configurations for extra-long backup times~over four hours! In addition, the 2 to 4 programmable outlets on each UPS can be used to reset network devices remotely and allocate longer backup times to the most critical equipment.

Extended Backup Times

Pulsar Evolution 2200 and 3000 UPSs allow for 1 to 3 battery extension modules in either tower or rack configurations for critical applications requiring extended back up times. For applications requiring more than four hours, the Pulsar Evolution 3000XL comes equipped with a super charger allowing for up to 12 battery module extensions or custom battery configurations.
