2  Your UPS

electronics and computer system.

Product highlights

Your UPS is equipped with the following 

features and functions.

Intelligent microprocessor control

Your UPS is a microprocessor-controlled unit. This 

means that it operates with the newest technology for 

high performance and powerful functionality. It is an 

“intelligent” protector that provides pure, reliable AC 

power to critical loads — guarding against electri-

cal power blackouts, current fluctuations, surges and 

interference. The UPS will also save power, automatically 

turning off under back-up mode when none of the con-

nected equipment is operating. Utilizing  microprocessor 

control maximizes your UPS’s system flexibility and 

ensures reliability.

Advanced battery management

Visual and audible signals alert you about UPS and 

battery status. The self-test function allows the UPS to 

detect a weak battery before it is put into service. Your 

UPS will perform a self-test upon start-up.

Automatic voltage regulation

Allows the UPS to adapt to a wide power range and 

maintain a steady output of pure and reliable power to 

sensitive, connected equipment.

Automatic frequency sensing

Allows the UPS to automatically match frequency with 

the incoming utility power.

High level battery charger

Fully charges the internal battery and acts to prolong 

its life.

Overload protection

Guards against connecting components whose power 

requirements exceed that of the UPS. Functions in both 

in-line and battery modes.

Extended back-up time

Prolongs the time your equipment has electricity during 

power blackouts.

Solid State phone/fax/modem protection 

Provides maximum protection against surges present on 

standard two-wire “dial-up” phone service. 

Splitter phone line protection

Splits incoming phone line into two outputs, supporting 

and protecting phone and modem.

Coaxial cable protection 

Provides maximum protection against surges present on 

standard coax/broadband lines.

Rotating LCD message panel display

Displays time, AVR operation indicator, battery charge 

level (in AC mode), battery run time (in back-up mode), 

input voltage and battery load level. May be positioned 

horizontally or vertically.
