Powerware 9120 User manual

Serie 9 Power Protection
True Online De ign
True online systems such as the
Powerware 9120 are the only type
of UPSs that completely isolate con-
nected equipment from all 9 of the
most common power problems:
Even when presented with the most
severe of these power problems, the
Powerware 9120 output remains
within a remarkable ±2% of nominal
voltage, meaning that your critical
system always receives clean power.
In addition, the Powerware 9120
transfers to battery with no break in
power, making it the perfect UPS for
equipment in environments plagued
by poor power.

Load Segment , Network Tran ient Protector and Remote
Emergency Power Off (REPO) Port
Load Segments are groups of receptacles that
can be independently controlled and extend
battery backup times for critical equipment.
To preserve battery power for more critical
equipment connected to Load Segment 1, shut
down Load Segment 2 supporting less critical
equipment.
Shut down and power up Load Segments in
user defined sequence.
The Network Transient Protector isolates your
modem, fax machine, and other electronic
equipment from “back door” power surges
The REPO port enables you to shut down the
UPS and connected equipment from a remote
location in an emergency.

Powerware 9120 1000 Shown
Hot-Swappable Batterie
You can hot-swap batteries without powering down the critical load. This makes it possible to extend
the life of your UPS without returning the unit for service.
Extended Battery Module (EBM )
Increasing battery backup time is as simple as plugging in an extended battery module. Hot-swap
capability on all Powerware 9120 models allow you to expand run time or replace battery modules
while keeping your critical load up and running.
The lead-acid batteries typically used in a UPS are considered viable as long as they
can maintain backup time of at least half that of new batteries. The illustration below
shows that batteries that are constantly trickle charged (as are virtually all other UPS
batteries on the market today) reach the end of their useful life in less than half the
time of batteries charged using ABM. ABM uses a three-stage charging technique that
not only doubles battery service life, but also optimizes battery recharge time and
provides advanced notification of the end of useful battery life.

As businesses become increasingly dependent
on technology for their fundamental
operation, the need for system availability is
of paramount importance. The Powerware
9120 UPS is designed for those applications
that need maximum protection in the 700 VA
– 3kVA range. With its high-frequency,
double-conversion online topology, providing
nonstop clean sine wave power, advanced
communications and space-saving tower
design, the Powerware 9120 is the ideal
solution for networks, web servers, telecom-
munications applications and other critical
electronic equipment.
In addition to its proven design, the
Powerware 9120 offers Advanced Battery
Management (ABM®) and sophisticated
communications to provide maximum system
availability. ABM uses a three-stage charging
technique that not only doubles battery
service life, but optimizes battery charge time
and provides 60-day notification of the end of
useful life for the batteries.
The Powerware 9120’s communications are
flexible, allowing for local, network or remote
monitoring and management. The Powerware
9120 includes the latest version of Powerware’s
Software Suite, which provides power monitoring
and shutdown software.
Simple plug-and-play operation makes
installing the Powerware 9120 fast and easy. A
single button touch provides clean, uninter-
ruptible power to the critical load. An intuitive
LCD screen provides real-time updates of UPS
status, power usage, battery run time remaining,
