In addition to the base configuration, the battery backup UPS units must meet the following technical requirements:

1. Advanced UPS - the units must synchronize internal battery power with utility power to permit a seamless transfer to backup power alone should utility power be lost.
2. Power Line Conditioner - programmable modes to allow the user flexibility in how the unit handles power output, from Constant Voltage Constant Frequency (CVCF) mode for steady output regardless of input voltage or frequency, to Economy mode which allows more variability in output but with higher efficiency than CVCF mode.
3. Surge Protection - the units will be equipped with circuit breaker protection which will protect the connected lab equipment from damage from dangerous power surges.
4. Weight - maximum weight for any one battery backup UPS unit is 375 pounds.
