Bicker IUPS-401-B1 - 400 VA / 240 W AC UPS, 230 V AC, D-SUB

Backup for industrial computers

The UPS suits IPCs, test stations and computer systems that need time to save data and complete shutdown during an outage. It backs up the AC input of the computer’s power supply. Check power consumption, startup peaks and compatibility with the rectangular backup waveform before selection.

For new IPCs and upgrades

The standard installation is in a free 5.25″ computer bay. The optional PSZ-1087 bracket is available separately for wall or cabinet mounting. Neither the computer nor the bracket is included with the UPS. A qualified electrician must install and connect the mains wiring.

Built-in VRLA lead batteries

Energy is stored in two maintenance-free 6 V / 3 Ah lead-gel batteries. Charging to 90% takes approximately 8 hours. Service life depends on temperature and use. Recharge at least once every 6 months during storage and have qualified service personnel replace the batteries.

Backup time versus load

Backup time is approximately 5 minutes at 100 W / 166 VA and approximately 2–3 minutes at 180 W / 300 VA. These are indicative values; actual time depends on load, battery condition and operating conditions. Allow a shutdown margin rather than waiting until backup energy is exhausted.

Monitoring with RUPS 2000 OEM

The B1 variant uses a serial D-SUB interface with open-collector outputs. RUPS 2000 OEM and the red 9-pin connection cable are included. The software responds to mains failure and low-battery signals and controls shutdown. Supported systems are Windows 10, 11 and Windows Server 2019, 2022.

Controlled shutdown and restart

If mains power returns while Windows is shutting down, the UPS can disconnect the computer after shutdown and reconnect it approximately 5 seconds later. This requires RUPS 2000, an ACPI computer and correct BIOS settings. Test the complete sequence on the actual computer before deployment.

Load switch-off threshold ≤ 33 W

Operating conditions and protection

Operating and storage temperature is 0 to +40 °C. Operating humidity is 10–85% RH, non-condensing. The UPS has overload and overtemperature protection. In backup mode it signals overload at 100–120% load and switches off at 120–190%. Provide suitable installation conditions and heat dissipation.

IUPS-401-B1 technical specifications

Observe both the 400 VA and 240 W limits and check compatibility with the rectangular waveform. Backup times are indicative.

Scope of delivery and separate accessories

Delivery includes the UPS with batteries, mains cable, replaceable black front panel, manual, slot bracket with 5-pin control cable, red interface cable and RUPS 2000 OEM licence code. The PSZ-1087 bracket is optional.
