Features

Overview: The Panamax MB850 combines surge protection, battery backup, and automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to protect your home's audio/video components and computer gear. (Note: It should not be used with any amplifier or powered subwoofer.) The MB850 provides automatic voltage regulation for inconsistent utility power. The MB850 features 890 Joules of surge protection, and provides battery backup during power outages. The Panamax MB850 ensures consistent power to your computer system and its included software will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system during utility power loss.

Note: The Panamax UPS may be used immediately out of the box. However, recharging the batteries for at least 16 hours is recommended to ensure that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved.

Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR): ;Automatic Voltage Regulation stabilizes input voltage to an appropriate level for optimal equipment performance by completely eliminating brownouts and overvoltages. Incoming utility power may be damaging to important data files, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), the computer will not experience damaging voltage levels. An Automatic Voltage Regulator automatically increase low or decreases high voltage to a consistent, computer safe 110v/120v. The unit's powerful sealed lead-acid batteries will provide power only if the incoming voltage drops below 90v or increase above 140v.

Auto-Shutdown Software: The supplied PowerPanel Personal Edition software is designed to facilitate the operation of the MB850. It works with the battery backup to provide a complete power protection solution. There are three main functions of this software:

• Monitor the operation of the battery backup and AC utility power at all times.
• Customize your usage of the battery backup.
• Protect your system and prevent data loss when power problems occur.

Note: You will need to install the included software from the supplied CD-ROM on to your computer to take advantage of these features. The Power Panel Personal Edition Management Software is compatible with Windows 2000, 2003, XP, and Vista.

USB + Serial Port: The MB850's USB type-B port and RS-232 serial port allows your home theater PC to communicate with the UPS through a USB or serial port cable connection. The UPS communicates its status to the your PC using the supplied software when connected with a USB port. The serial port is only used with third party UPS software such as the Microsoft UPS Power Option of Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.

Note: The serial port and USB port cannot be used to control two computers concurrently. Only one port will function at a time.

5 Battery Powered and Surge Protected Outlets: The MB850's five battery powered/surge protected outlets provide continuous battery backup when power is interrupted. During power disruptions the Panamax MB850 Battery Backup provides constant power to your equipment, such as:

• Lamp Based Display: Prevent expensive lamp burnout in lamp based displays (cooling fan can continue to properly cool down lamp).
• DVR: Avoid loss of DVR recorded TV programming.
• Gaming: Prevent loss of unsaved games during saving and loading.

Estimated Runtime In Minutes: The Panamax MDB850 provides up to 2 hours of battery backup. It offers the following estimated runtimes in minutes.

• DLP TV (260-watts) = 6 minutes
• HD Gaming Console = 12 minutes
• Satellite Receiver/Cable Box = 80 minutes
• Media Player = 80 minutes
• DVR/Tivo = 120 minutes

4 Fulltime Surge Protected Outlets: The Panamax MB850 offers 4 additional fulltime surge protected outlets that provide complete surge protection for equipment not requiring battery backup.

Ethernet Protection Ports: The Panamax MB850 is equipped with two RJ-45 ports to provide Phone, Modem, DSL, and/or Ethernet protection (Combination Ethernet or phone line protection).

Coax Connections: The MB850 features a pair of gold-plated, threaded coax connectors (1 in/1 out) that offer cable/satellite surge protection.

LCD Display: The Panamax MB850 features a front-panel LCD display which indicates the following:

• Input Voltage Level
• Output Voltage Level
• AVR Status Meter
• Battery Capacity
• Estimated Runtime
• Load Level
• Output Power Frequency Interrupted

Wiring Fault Indicator Light: This LED illuminates when wiring problems exist.

Resettable Circuit Breaker: The MB850 features a resettable circuit breaker to provide overload and fault protection.
