Marantec UPS Battery Backups: Last Longer for Less

Power interruptions can cause unnecessary disruption to automated door and shutter systems. Whether it's a brief power cut or an extended outage, having a suitable battery backup solution can make a significant difference to the reliability of an installation.

At Marantec UK, our Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) range is designed to provide dependable backup power, combining efficient technology with practical features that help keep automated systems operational when mains power is unavailable.

From pure sine wave output to extended standby capabilities, here's what makes the Marantec UPS range worth considering.

Pure Sine Wave Technology for Reliable Motor Operation

Not all battery backup systems deliver power in the same way.

Some conventional UPS units use pseudo-sine wave technology, which produces a less consistent output than a standard mains electricity supply.

For motor-driven applications, this can affect performance, potentially reducing lifting capacity, increasing noise and placing unnecessary strain on equipment.

Marantec UPS systems use pure sine wave technology, designed to closely replicate the normal mains supply and provide smoother motor operation.

This makes them particularly suited to applications where consistent power delivery is important.

More Usable Power from Your UPS

Another important consideration when selecting a battery backup is the amount of usable power it can provide.

For example, comparing two 1000VA units:

• Typical pseudo-sine wave UPS: 600 watts

• Marantec pure sine wave UPS: 700 watts

In this example, the Marantec unit provides approximately 17% more usable power.

That additional capacity can make a difference when specifying a UPS for motor-driven equipment, where the power requirements of the installation need to be carefully considered.

Extended Standby Times of Up to Three Days

One of the standout features of the Marantec UPS range is its extended standby capability.

When combined with a compatible sleep mode arrangement, standby times can reach up to three days, offering additional flexibility during prolonged power interruptions.

This is particularly useful for installations where maintaining available backup power over an extended period is important.

It's worth distinguishing standby time from continuous operation. The three-day figure relates to compatible sleep mode setups rather than three days of uninterrupted motor operation.

Without sleep mode, typical battery backup runtime is approximately three to six hours, depending on battery size and operating conditions.

Our team can help identify the appropriate configuration for your installation.

Automatic Voltage Regulation as Standard

Marantec UPS systems also feature Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR).

AVR helps maintain a consistent output voltage without unnecessarily switching to battery power when the incoming mains voltage fluctuates.

By reducing unnecessary battery use, this technology helps preserve battery life and ensures stored power remains available when a genuine power interruption occurs.

Combined with high efficiency and a compact, lightweight design, these features make the Marantec UPS range a practical option for a variety of automated door and shutter applications.

Choosing the Right Battery Backup

Every installation has different requirements, from the type of motor being used to the expected backup duration and available installation space.

Choosing a suitable UPS means considering factors such as power capacity, compatibility, operating conditions and whether extended standby functionality is required.
