20 February 2020: Leading UPS manufacturer, CENTIEL has announced that its industry leading 4th generation, true modular UPS CumulusPowerTM known for its “9 nines” (99.9999999%) system availability, plus its stand-alone UPS PremiumTowerTM are now enabled with Bluetooth to allow usage information to be downloaded including status, alarm and event logs. The new Bluetooth device connects customers, data centre managers and engineers with their CENTIEL UPS system using a service app to enable them to monitor its performance more closely.
Gerado Lecuona, Co-founder and global sales director, CENTIEL confirms: “Designed for use on smartphones and tablets, CENTIEL’s app now allows technicians to connect to customers’ uninterruptible power supplies via Bluetooth, to download historical data. Data is then pushed from the UPS to the smart device through an intuitive interface. This information is automatically organized into a file that can be either archived or shared through emails. For safety reasons, commands cannot be given to the UPS (it only reads). The app also works at module level for CumulusPowerTM.
“We are committed to delivering greater efficiencies for our clients. Close, ease of monitoring of the UPS can ensure it is working optimally and availability is maximized and the new app offers a quick way to access important information about the UPS’ performance. CENTIEL’s app is the ideal choice for service providers who want to become less dependent on a wi-fi connection for data sharing and to alleviate the need to connect to the pc-based software tool.”
The app is currently available for Android phones with an update expected over the next few months for iOS users. The app is easy to use and customers simply need to download and connect to the required system/module.
CumulusPowerTM has now been installed in datacenters and comms rooms in over 60 countries across five continents. More than 50 MW of critical power loads are now protected with CumulusPowerTM in locations across the world including: the UK, Singapore, Australia, Germany, Spain, the Czech Republic and the Channel Islands.
PremiumTowerTM, is CENTIEL’s standalone UPS ideally suited to applications where facilities don’t want to compromise on quality while minimizing total cost of ownership is a significant factor.
