The intelligent UPS for industrial applications

Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are used if mains failures threaten to affect the supply voltage.


The new generation of QUINT devices from Phoenix Contact is now equipped with IQ technology.

This ensures the transparency required to guarantee the stability of the supply and optimum use of the battery at all times.

In order to make best use of all features of the new technology, the new QUINT UPS-IQ can be configured and monitored with the UPS-CONF software.

IQ technology makes the QUINT UPS-IQ an intelligent UPS

The new intelligence for maximum system availability


The UPS-CONF software gives you access to all relevant information at a glance

The UPS uses IQ technology to determine all relevant battery states.

The UPS-CONF software displays this in a clearly arranged view, which gives you a full overview of your UPS system at all times.

Furthermore, all events can be tracked in the protocol.




Communication with the battery: Easy startup and high fault tolerance


Your UPS solution can be installed quickly and easily as any connected battery modules are detected automatically. It is no longer necessary to set the charging characteristic, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

Continuous monitoring of the power storage device means that you have all information to hand during operation and can respond in good time.

Configurable switching outputs issue important messages before errors occur.

A system failure can be prevented, for example, by means of an alarm message warning that the life expectancy of the battery has expired.

Batteries can be replaced without tools and during operation.

Controlled PC shutdown in the event of a mains failure


The UPS-IQ only shuts down the PC when the remaining buffer time of the battery calls for this

In PC mode, a PC or industrial PC is supplied with 24 V DC for as long as possible in accordance with the currently available buffer time.

This prevents a premature shutdown of the PC.

If the mains power does not return at the end of the buffer time, the UPS shuts down the computer in a controlled fashion.

When the mains power returns, the PC starts automatically and a manual restart is not necessary.




Servicing and maintenance can now be planned - thus reducing costs


The intelligent UPS informs you of the remaining life expectancy of the battery, making servicing easy to plan.

If the battery is replaced at the ideal time, you can avoid costs that would occur by replacing the battery too early or after a failure.

The UPS-IQ also features a service mode, which can be activated during operation, for example, in order to replace the battery or perform maintenance work. This informs the control room that the UPS cannot buffer during this period.

The UPS-IQ automatically calculates when the next service is due for replacing the battery

The right combination of UPS and battery for every application


The three components of a UPS system: power supply unit, UPS unit and battery module

QUINT UPS-IQs with output currents of 5 to 40 A are available for 24 V DC applications.

AC applications in 120 V AC and 230 V AC networks are provided for by the QUINT UPS-IQ with 500 VA output power.

The matching QUINT battery modules offer buffer times, for example, of 8 hours at 5 A or 30 minutes at 40 A.
