PS500B/PS800B INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview These models are advanced line-interactive true sinewave uninterruptible power systems (UPS) designed to prevent spikes, surges, sags, transients and blackouts from reaching your sensitive equipment. Your equipment may include such items as computers and computerized instruments to telecommunication systems. When AC power is present, the UPS filters and conditions the power continuously.
PS500B/PS800B 3 1.4 User Replaceable Battery Design The battery is the most critical part in a UPS. The average lifetime of a battery is between 3 and 5 years. The special user-replaceable battery design of this UPS provides significant savings and gives the UPS an almost unlimited life. You can replace the battery very easily, and without turning off your UPS or the equipment it is protecting. 1.5 Advanced Interface to Communicate with Computer Many UPS’s provide only a basic power failure warning.
