IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation
and operation of the unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate your UPS.
CAUTION!
To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free
of conductive contaminants. (Please see specifications for acceptable temperature and humidity range).
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover except to service the battery. No user
serviceable parts inside except for battery.
CAUTION!
Hazardous live parts inside can be energized by the battery even when the AC input power is
disconnected.
CAUTION! UPS must be connected to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Do not plug into an
outlet that is not grounded. If you need to de-energize this equipment, turn off and unplug the unit.
CAUTION!
To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the
battery or installing a computer component.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT!
products for life support or medical applications. DO NOT
of any life support equipment or with any medical applications or patient care.
DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS!
an aquarium. Condensation from the aquarium can cause the unit to short out.
DO NOT USE WITH LASER PRINTERS!
The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly
damage the unit.

INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM

UNPACKING
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The box should contain the following:
(1) UPS unit; (1) User's manual; (1) PowerPanel™ Personal Edition software CD; (1) USB device cable; (1) Telephone
cable; (1) Warranty registration card; (1) Coaxial Cable
WHAT IS AVR?
The BH900 / BH1200 / BH1500 provide complete power protection from utility power
that is not always consistent. The BH900 features 890 Joules and BH1200 BH1500
features 1080 Joules of surge protection, and provide long lasting battery backup with
sealed maintenance free lead acid battery for loss of utility power and voltage sags.
The BH900 / BH1200 / BH1500 ensure consistent power to your computer system and
include software that will automatically save your open files and shutdown your
computer system during a utility power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR?
The BH900 / BH1200 / BH1500 stabilize utility power voltage levels that can be inconsistent. The incoming utility power
may be damaging to important data files, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation, the computer will only not experience
damaging voltage levels. An Automatic Voltage Regulator automatically increases low or decreases high voltage to a
consistent, computer safe 110v/120v. The unit's powerful batteries will provide power only if the incoming voltage drops
below 88v or increases above 140v.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the batteries for at least 16 hours is
recommended to insure that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. A loss of charge may occur during
shipping and storage. To recharge the batteries, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge
in both the ON as well as the OFF position.
2. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage
device (Zip drive, Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc...) into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug your peripheral
equipment (printer, scanner, speakers) into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper
shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power demands of
these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
3. To surge protect a network connection, connect a network cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack
of the UPS. Then connect a network cable from the OUT jack on the UPS to the network device.
4. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounding receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by
a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (e.g. refrigerator, copier, etc...).
The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips.
5. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the unit will "beep" once.
6. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To correct this, turn the
UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power supplied outlets. Wait 10 seconds. Make
sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
7. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
8. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage recharge
the battery every three months to insure battery life.

This LED is illuminated when the utility condition is normal and the UPS outlets are providing power, free of surges.
3 Using Battery Indicator
This LED is illuminated when the unit is running in the backup condition.
4 AVR Indicator
This LED is illuminated when the unit is running in the AVR mode.
5 Over Load Indicator
This LED is illuminated when the unit is overload. You will need to reduce the load.
6 Battery and Surge Protected Outlets
The unit has four battery powered/surge protected outlets for connected equipment and ensures temporary
uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure.
7 Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets
The unit has four always on surge suppression outlets.
8 Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator
This LED indicator will illuminate to warn the user that a wiring problem exists, such as bad ground, missing ground or reversed wiring. If
this is illuminated, user is advised to disconnect all electrical equipment from the outlet and have an electrician check to ensure the outlet is
properly wired. The unit will not provide surge protection without being plugged into a grounded and properly wired wall outlet.

12 Coax/Cable/DSS Surge Protection
The Coax/Cable/DSS surge protection ports will protect any cable modem, CATV converter, or DSS receiver.
13 Outlets Designed for AC Adapters
The unit has four outlets spaced to allow AC power adapter blocks to be plugged into the UPS without blocking adjacent outlets.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
CAUTION! Read and follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before servicing the battery. Service the
battery under the supervision of personnel knowledgeable of batteries and their precautions.
CAUTION!
Use only the specified type of battery. See your dealer for replacement batteries.
CAUTION!
The battery may present a risk of electrical shock. Do not dispose of battery in a fire as it may explode.
Follow all local ordinances regarding proper disposal of batteries. Almost any retailer that sells lead-acid batteries
collects used batteries for recycling, as required by most state laws.
CAUTION!
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin and eyes and may be toxic.
CAUTION!
A battery can present a high risk of short circuit current and electrical shock. Take the following precautions
before replacing the battery:
REMINDER:
Batteries are consider HAZARDOUS WASTE and must be disposed of properly. Almost any retailer that
sells lead-acid batteries collects used batteries for recycling, as required by most state laws.
