519 Alpha Technologies has introduced five new products to expand and update its line of ruggedised, outdoor Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and backup power solutions. Included in this market introduction are three new battery backup system enclosures and two new transfer switches for use in traffic and ITS applications.

The Alpha Outdoor Enclosure Side Mount 6 and Side Mount 10 are battery backup system enclosures that can be installed on the side of traffic control system cabinets. They can also be used for standalone, ground-mounted installations and share many of the same standard features including: stainless steel handle, three-point latching mechanism, Corbin Type 2 lock, 180° stainless steel piano hinge door, removable bottom shelf and a 10-year warranty. The Side Mount 6 provides six cubic feet of space while the Side Mount 10 provides ten cubic feet of space (meeting and exceeding the 3879 Caltrans specifications).

The Alpha Multi Mount Outdoor Enclosure - Traffic (MMOE) has similar features to the Side Mount units but is a smaller, compact enclosure for battery backup systems where real estate around the traffic intersection is at a premium.

Alpha is also introducing updated versions of its transfer switches. The Alpha Universal Automatic Transfer Switch operates as a fail-safe bypass switch allowing utility power to be filtered and regulated by the UPS. Loss of output from the UPS will cause the transfer switch to default to the utility line power. The transfer switch is also equipped with a manual bypass switch to allow the user to isolate the UPS for servicing. An optional dry contact terminal block is available for monitoring the status of the switch.

The Alpha Universal Generator Transfer Switch automatically switches the input of the UPS to a connected generator and will default to a utility line if there is a loss of output from the generator. This transfer switch allows the user to manually switch between generator and utility line. An optional dry contact terminal block is available for monitoring the status of the switch.
