Suitable for HD60364-7-710 Group 2 locations as well as HTM06-01 Category 5 areas.

Medical IPS systems should serve the following areas:

• Operating theatre suites and recovery areas.
• Emergency departments – resuscitation.
• Critical care areas – CCU, ITU, SCBU, NICU, HDU etc.
• Imaging rooms – MRI, CT, PET, X-Ray, Cath Lab etc.

Medical IT Power Supply system (IPS) provides safe delivery of electrical power. The Medipower Medical IT Power Supply system (IPS) provides continuity of supply in the instance of the first insulation fault and also offers additional protection from electrical leakage currents, for group 2 locations or HTM06-01 for clinical risk category 5 areas.

Features and benefits:

• High quality Medipower Medical IT Power Supply system (IPS) ensures safe energy distribution.
• Distinct monitoring and distribution panel incorporates both wall-mounted and floor-standing options within the same panel design.
• Automatic electrical supply, the standards state that Group 2 Medical Locations shall have an automatic electrical supply available within 0.5 seconds of power failure. In the UK, it is commonplace to support the IPS system with an upstream Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in order to meet the 0.5-second requirement. In other parts of the world, this may be by switching to an alternative source of supply.
• A CANbus (Controller Area Network bus) allows devices to communicate with each other without a host computer. IPS alarm signals communicate seamlessly via CANbus, offering many benefits.
• CANbus is capable of identifying and reporting load insulation faults in 5–30 seconds.
• Each CANbus network can be up to 2500 m in length for linking multiple networks or future expansion.
• CANbus can offer over 50% reduction in field cabling costs.
• CANbus continually monitors two-way communications between all CANbus connected devices, identifies any faults and provides parallel redundancy.
• Modular construction and powerful messaging.
• Ability to hot-swap and maintain individual components. Programmable content with up to 1000 alarm messages.
• Smaller footprint space requirements.
• IPS units can be supplied in as single (SIPS), double (DIPS) or triple (TIPS) configurations with a variety of different transformer sizes and in IPS, IPS+IFS or IPS+IFS+BATS variants.
• Flexible number of outgoing ways - IPS system MCBs are available in functional blocks of six, up to a maximum of 96.
• Multiple master alarm functionality.
• Advanced event logging.
