UPS Control Modules
Alpha FXM UPS Family
UPS performance advantages with Alpha's powerful firmware
Alpha's FXM family of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are designed to provide clean, reliable backup power for Traffic
applications. Featuring an automatic voltage regulator (AVR), each FXM UPS provides power stability in varied power conditions
as well as the ability to switch to emergency backup power without interrupting power to the intersection. Choose the Alpha FXM
650 or 1100 for backing up a typical intersection or choose the Alpha FXM 2000 for larger intersections or railway crossings
with multiple turn lights and other additional power requirements.
The factory installed Ethernet/SNMP card allows communication with the UPS remotely through any web browser and is
capable of notifying up to four different email addresses. Outgoing notifications can be customized with selectable severity
levels and triggered by events, faults and/or alarms.
For optimal control and performance of your UPS system, the Ethernet/SNMP card is powered by the UPS batteries' DC
voltage, eliminating the need for an external power source.
Each FXM power level is available in either 120V or 230V variants, both with auto frequency detection (60Hz/50Hz).
Alpha is approved by multiple States within the US, including California Dept. of Transportation (Caltrans), Texas and many others.
Other smart features of the FXM family include:
During periods of surge or sag in the line voltage, a wider-range automatic voltage regulation means less dependence on
batteries thus lengthening battery life
Independently programmable user inputs and dry contact relays allow controlling and tracking of key functions
Event and alarm logging with time and date stamping simplifies and accelerates troubleshooting
A wide operating temperature range of -40 to 74°C (-40 to 165°F)

is suitable for extreme operating environments
Control and power connection panels can be rotated for viewing in horizontal or vertical mounting orientations

Temperature compensated battery charging protects batteries from over-charging at extreme temperatures, extending
the life of the battery
1. Power module only. Output power derates after 55°C for FXM 650 and 1100 and after 50°C for FXM 2000 (120Vac), 55°C (230Vac).
2. The LCD panel on the FXM 650 cannot be rotated.
Higher charger current (up to 15A selectable) on the FXM
1100 and FXM 2000
Remote firmware updating via SNMP: no more truck rolls
to get the latest product enhancements (Units with older
firmware require a one-time local upgrade)
Time remaining: "at-a-glance" information on the time
remaining based on battery and load size allows users
to make better decisions about backup options during
an outage: truck rolls can be delayed until service is
absolutely necessary
Automatic daylight savings management: time-of-day
event settings are adjusted for a shift to or from daylight
savings
IP device sense and reset function sends a ping
to IP address at a user selectable interval; after
exceeding pre-set number of failed attempts, the device
is power cycled
