What is battery backup?

Battery backup units allow you to continue using your computer system during utility

power problems like outages or when utility voltage fluctuates outside of safe levels. In

these cases, the battery backup unit will instantly switch your computer and connected

peripherals to battery power so you can continue to work without interruption.

Another main function of a battery backup is protecting your computer and peripherals

from surges that travel along both utility and data lines. These surges can damage

hardware components and destroy your stored data, like music, business files, or pictures.

Using a battery backup also allows you to enjoy the benefits that come with installing

auto shutdown software on your computer, like configuring your system for unattended

graceful shut down, logging power issues, and silencing late night alarms.

What does battery backup

do for you?

• Protects you from all power problems.

• Eliminates interruptions due to power problems.

• Preserves valuable data on your hard drive.

• Prevents loss of valuable data, including digital

photos, MPEG files, music libraries, etc., caused

by power interruptions.

• Saves time in resetting DVRs, rebooting media PCs, etc.

• Guarantees picture quality during brownouts and

blackouts.

• Provides maximum availability for VoIP 911 service.

Power anomaly:

Typical cause

of disturbance:

Effect on

components:

Oscillatory transient

(surge) Very short

(1-3 cycles) increased

distortion of voltage

waveform.

Grid overload, utility

switching, starting/

stopping of large

household appliances.

Stresses power

supplies and/or causes

premature failure.

Impulse transient

(spike) Dramatic and

instantaneous increase

in voltage.

Lightning

Catastrophic failure.

Noise interference

Electromagnetic

and radio frequency

interference (EMI/RFI).

Generated by

appliances, HAM

radios, nearby

radio stations,

and AV equipment.

N/A

SAG/Swell (brownout

and overvoltage)

Sustained low or high

RMS voltage levels.

Too much demand on

electric utility; running

larger household

appliances.

Stresses power supplies

by forcing larger current

draws; may result in

premature failure due

to increased stress.

Blackout

RMS voltage goes to zero.

Overloaded utility network,

storm activity, downed

power lines, animal

infestation.

Entertainment becomes

unavailable or is interrupted;

DVR recordings are lost or

missed; presets are lost;

hard drives may be damaged

or data lost; security and

home automation systems

become inoperable.

Voltage distortion

RMS voltage

waveform distorted.

Powering household

appliances and

power tools.

Stresses power

supplies.
