INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your Powerware9 9 Prestige Series uninterruptible power system (UPS). The Prestige UPS meets the toughest measures of superior design and manufacturing, including ISO 9001. You now own the most reliable power protection available.

The Prestige provides a steady, well-regulated power supply for your computing and communications equipment, while protecting it from the frequent irregularities that are inherent in commercially available power. Voltage spikes, power surges, brownouts, and power failures have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and in some instances, damage expensive hardware.

With the Prestige, you can safely eliminate the effects of electrical line disturbances and guard the integrity of your systems and equipment. The optional PowerPass9 has a Maintenance Bypass feature that supplies power to your equipment even when the UPS electronics are removed for maintenance or upgrades. Figure 1 shows the Prestige UPS.
