Reliable Power Protection Meets Modern Efficiency with the ION F18 Lithium UPS Range.
ION F18 Lithium UPS Range – According to Mark Shannon, national product manager at BGW Technologies, one of the backbone assets of any security system is too often overlooked.
“As security, ICT and critical infrastructure systems become increasingly connected, the importance of reliable power protection continues to grow,” explains Shannon.
“Whether supporting surveillance networks, access control systems, servers or communications equipment, a quality UPS is often the difference between uninterrupted operation and as many have experienced, I am sure, costly downtime.”
“The ION F18 Lithium UPS range has been designed to meet these demands and is a solution that should not be overlooked when BOM’s are being created for installs.”
Shannon says one of the key advantages of the ION UPS F18 range is its lithium-ion battery technology.

“The ION Lithium F18 UPS cuts energy costs with its charge and recharge efficiency, this is a feature that users probably won’t really notice, but it’s one of those silent wins you get with quality technology,” Shannon explains.
“The F18 Lithium range utilises true online double-conversion architecture, continuously conditioning incoming power and providing clean, pure sine wave output to connected devices.”
“This ensures critical equipment remains protected from power fluctuations, surges, brownouts and outages, with zero transfer time in the event that the utility loses power – it’s exactly what you want from a device like this.”
According to Shannon this capability makes the F18 Lithium UPS particularly well suited to applications where reliability is critical.
“Consider a large surveillance deployment protecting a commercial facility,” he says.
“During a mains power interruption, the UPS continues supplying conditioned power to recording servers, network switches and critical cameras, ensuring evidence capture remains uninterrupted while protecting equipment from damaging power events. Control room operators will rest easy knowing such power events will not impact them.”
“The F18 UPS range also has an LCD user interface to simplify monitoring and comes with SNMP monitoring as standard. This allows remote visibility and management of UPS performance across distributed sites.”
“Combined with high efficiency operation, tower or rack installation (with just 3kVA of power in only 2RU of rack space), plus the units come with 5-year limited replacement warranty, its peace of mind that save you time and money.”
“The ION Lithium F18 range is the perfect way to flexibly integrate reliable power supply and protection for high-end computing and applications exposed to potential data loss, corruption and downtime, and is available in 1000VA, 2000VA and 3000VA models.”
