User Interface: LCD Touchscreen

The built‑in LCD touchscreen display offers a clear, interactive view of the UPS status. Users can navigate menus to:

• Monitor real‑time voltage, frequency, load percentage, and battery health.
• Configure alarm thresholds for overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, and temperature.
• Schedule automatic shutdowns or power‑on events.
• Access diagnostic logs and perform self‑tests.

Protection Features

The iFP 1500 incorporates multiple layers of protection to safeguard both the UPS itself and connected equipment:

• Line‑Interactive Topology – automatically corrects minor voltage fluctuations without switching to battery, extending runtime during brief disturbances.
• Simulated Sine Wave Output – delivers clean power that is compatible with sensitive electronics.
• Overload and Short‑Circuit Protection – disconnects the load if current exceeds safe limits.
• Thermal Management – internal fans maintain optimal operating temperature, preventing overheating.
• Sound Alarms (Alarmes Sonores = Oui) – audible alerts notify users of critical events such as battery depletion or input voltage irregularities.
