Eaton’s New-Generation Ellipse ECO UPS Brings Substantial Energy Savings
Sydney, 7 June 2011 - Eaton Corporation, a diversified industrial manufacturer, has today announced the latest version of its best-selling product, the Eaton Ellipse ECO. With its EcoControl function, the new and improved Ellipse UPS delivers energy savings of up to 25 per cent compared to previous-generation products. This is achieved through EcoControl’s ability to automatically disable peripherals when the master device is turned off.
The Ellipse ECO provides compact power protection for various business-related electronic equipment such as PCs, workstations, telephony equipment and point-of-sale terminals. Like its predecessor, the Ellipse ECO features off-line topology and protects office applications against the most common power interruptions, such as power failure, sags and surges.
“Having been on the market for more than ten years, the Ellipse has become one of the most important and best-selling products in the UPS industry,” said Michael Mallia, Product Line Manager, Distributed Power Solutions, Power Quality - Asia Pacific Electrical Sector, Eaton. “With the new, improved model and its EcoControl function, we can now offer substantial energy savings of up to 25 per cent. This brings clear added value and savings for our customers.”
Available for UPSs with USB connectivity, the EcoControl function is activated and configured using the included power management software. The UPS is equipped with one master outlet for a desktop PC and either one or two EcoControl outlets for non-critical peripherals.
Customers will also benefit from the Ellipse ECO’s advanced surge protection, a feature unique to Eaton products.
“Customers expect two things from a UPS: battery backup and power protection. In addition to backup, the Ellipse ECO provides high-performance protection against damaging surges, whether the source is atmospheric or industrial,” Mallia says. “The Ellipse ECO is also a highly reliable UPS, a fact confirmed by its compliance with IEC 61643-1, the international standard for surge protective device safety and performance.”
Flat design allows multiple uses
The Ellipse ECO has an extra-flat design and a wide range of mounting options, including vertical box format for installation under a desk, a horizontal desktop stand for under-monitor use as well as the possibility for rack or wall mounting with optional installation kits. As with previous models, the Ellipse ECO’s compact size means that it can easily be installed in environments with limited space.
There are five power ratings available: 500, 650, 800, 1200 and 1600 VAs. The 500, 650 and 800 models have four outlets – three with surge protection and battery backup, and one with surge protection; the 1200 and 1600 models offer four outlets with both surge protection and battery backup, and four with surge protection.
The Ellipse ECO is compatible with all common personal computer operating systems, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The latest power management software updates can be downloaded from Eaton’s website. The UPS also offers an unlimited warranty for the connected equipment in case of power fluctuation damage.
The Eaton Ellipse ECO will be available from June 2011 and will replace the Ellipse ASR. Retail price starts from $160 including GST.
