UltraUPS
Uninterruptible Power Solutions for Hostile Environments
The ultraUPS are a series of backup power solutions for rugged and hostile environments where down time for servicing and power outages is unacceptable or uneconomical.
All the ultraUPS units operate down to −40°C and the ultra capacitor units up to +85°C. The Li-Ion ultraUPS units have an operating temperature range of −40°C to +70°C and backup energy of 2.2 megajoules (617 watt-hours). That’s enough energy to keep Tri-M’s VDX104 running for over two weeks! The ultra capacitor units have an operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C with backup energy up to 15 kilojoules (4.2 watt-hours).
The 6 amp output of the ultraUPS units can be field adjusted programmed between 5V and 16V. The main input of the ultraUPS protects against vehicle «load dumps» and transients and is designed to MIL‑STD‑1275 requirements. The ultraUPS units also supports power direct from 15V or 30V solar panels.

VSX-2812S PC/104-Plus VGA/LCD Module. Features Volari Z9s Chipset, onboard 32MB VGA Memory. Supports VGA, Flat Panel Display. PC/104+ standard compliant.
VDX104+
800MHz Vortex86DX SoC
The VDX104+ is a rugged PC/104+ compliant system controller measuring just 3.55 inches by 3.775 inches. With an 800 MHz processor, the VDX104+ offers the quickest route of integrating a full x86 AT-compatible computer into your embedded control application using the PC/104+ form factor.
In addition, the built-in peripherals such as dual ethernet minimize the number of additional modules required. By combining the system hardware with extended temperature operation and onboard soldered 512 MB SDRAM, I/O, software (integrated OS image) and solid-state mass storage, the VDX104+ lowers your exposure to possible development risks, costs and significantly reduces your time-to-market.
The VDX104+'s full compatibility with the popular PC/104+ embedded expansion bus allows you to easily integrate the widest selection of low-cost hardware peripherals. The numerous features provide an ideal price/performance solution.

CBP Modules
Backup Power for Harsh and Remote Environments
Tri-M CBP Modules are maintenance free, high cycling backup power systems designed for embedded applications that may encounter extreme temperatures or require numerous charge cycles. Many of these applications are found in remote locations where access to the systems is expensive or challenging (think undersea or remote geographies).
CBP Modules are based on a PC/104 form factor and use electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC) or ultra-capacitors rather than conventional batteries. Ultra-capacitors have a high power density compared to conventional electrolytic capacitors so they can charge very quickly and are able to be recharged thousands of times. This is beneficial for applications that have either a large number of battery discharge cycles or where a «maintenance free» solution is required such as remote terminals or mobile data collectors.
When mated with a Tri-M power solution (HESC or HPSC), the complete system will provide proven, battery free, long-life uninterruptible power for embedded applications. The CBP Modules are offered in Farad capacities of 10, 23, 25, 58, 250, and 500 providing estimated backup power run-times of 45 seconds to 45 minutes based on a twenty watt load.
BAT-NiMh45
4.5Ah NiMh Backup Module
The BAT-NiMh45 creates a UPS system by plugging directly into the bottom of the HESC (including the V5SC-SER & HPSC) Vehicle Power Supplies. Each BAT-NiMh45 includes seven 4.5Ahr «A» size batteries for a nominal backup voltage of 8.4 volts. The BAT-NiMh45 can therefore supply a total of 37.8 watt-hrs of backup power and supply backup power for up to sixty minutes for a 37.8 watt load.
The BAT-NiMh45 includes Mosfet transistors for preventing deep discharge occurrences during extended power outages. The Mosfet transistors electrically isolate the BAT-NiMh45 from the HESC whenever the BE output of the HESC is de-asserted (pulled to 5V).
When ordered with the Real Time Clock option, the BAT-NiMh45-RTC can «awaken» from Sleep Mode at a programmed start-up time. A momentary «dry» contact on CN3 can also override the Sleep Mode and awaken the BAT-NiMh45-RTC. Tri-M Power supplies supporting the HESC-UPS18 firmware can program and read the RTC on the BAT-NiMh45-RTC. Tri-M Power Supplies with HESC-UPS firmware can use the BAT-NiMh45 for a UPS system, but without RTC support. Refer to section «Configuration and Installation» for listing of compatible power supplies and firmware support.
The BAT-NiMh45 has both a thermal fuse and a current fuse for protection against overcharging, and shorts on the battery output.
A digital I2C temperature sensor provides temperature feedback for charge termination, which can be read by the HESC.
TTL2RS232-DB
Interconnect Communication Adapter
The TTL2RS232-DB9 is connected to TUP1000, TPS1000 and TPC1000 via a ten wire interconnect cable and converts the TX and RX TTL signals to RS-232 levels. The TTL2RS232-DB9 also provides a micro-USB connector to plug a USB cable to a host CPU. A jumper shunt permits setting the TUP1000, TPS1000 and TPC1000 into programming mode.
TPSi1000
85W Isolated Power Supply
Tri-M’s TPSi1000 is a galvanically isolated PC/104-Plus power solution for use in embedded applications requiring isolation. The wide-range input voltages, transient suppression, isolation and pluggable terminal mating plugs make the TPSi1000 ideal for use in rugged and hostile applications. Designed tough for harsh environments including military standards, shock, vibration and extended temperature.
TPS1000
Ultra High-Effieciency Power Supply
The TPS1000 is an ultra high efficiency dual programmable output DC-DC PC/104 power converter. Three stage input protection with the on-board PowerOS ensures the system is safeguarded against spikes and transients.
An extended operating temperature range and rugged design allows the TPS1000 to be reliably used in extremely harsh environments. Three full colour RGB LEDs provide a visual at-a-glance indication of input, output and TPS1000 operation.
