The Auto-Sensing/ Auto Switching function assumes that AC is the primary power source such that when connected to both AC and DC power, if the AC power should start to drop or exceed the 100-264VAC voltage range, the PowergridM UPS will sense the out of bounds condition (auto-sense), sense if DC is present on the DC Input, and automatically switch (auto-switch) to the DC source. The entire process takes less than 20msec and the attached equipment will be unaffected given the reserve capacitive power within the system. Upon switching, the UPS will generate an SNMP power status message and activate the auditable alarm (if connected) notifying the operator that AC power has been lost. If no DC voltage is present, the UPS will go to batteries again generating SNMP status messages and alarm. When switched to DC input, the AC power is restored, the UPS will sense the return of AC and when within its bounds, will automatically switch back to the AC input source and send out a SNMP message notifying the operator of restoral of power.
