Series 9 Power Protection
True Online Design
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.

Powerware 9120 Features
Front Panel Display
Informative user interface with LCD, four LED and audible alarms.
Loads Segments, Network Transient 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.

Hot-Swappable Batteries
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 Modules (EBMs)
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.

*Up to 2 EBMs can be connected to 700/1000/1500VA models and up to 5 EBMs can be connected to 2000/3000VA models. Run time chart provides typical information. Run times are approximate
and may vary with equipment, configuration, battery age, temperature, etc.
