OVERVIEW
The BRG850AVRLCD/BRG1000AVRLCD provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The
BRG850AVRLCD/BRG1000AVRLCD features 1080 Joules of surge protection. Both units provide long lasting battery backup during
power outages with maintenance free batteries. The BRG850AVRLCD/BRG1000AVRLCD ensures consistent power to your computer
system and includes software that will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system during a utility power
loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The BRG850AVRLCD/BRG1000AVRLCD stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to nominal
levels that are safe for equipment. Inconsistent incoming utility power may be damaging to
important data files and hardware, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), damaging
voltage levels are corrected to safe levels. AVR automatically increases low utility power or
decreases high utility power to a consistent and safe 110/120 volts.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS’s rated capacity (850VA/510W for BRG850AVRLCD,
1000VA/600W for BRG1000AVRLCD). If the rated capacities of the units are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause
the UPS to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip.
2. There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. It is suggested that the load
placed on the battery outlets not exceed 80% of the unit’s capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, after receiving a new UPS, to
ensure the battery’s maximum charge capacity, it is recommended that you charge the battery for
at least 8 hours. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into
an AC outlet, the battery will automatically charge whether the UPS is turned on or off.
2. Note: This UPS is designed with a safety feature to keep the system from being turned on during
shipment. The first time you turn the UPS on, you will need to have it connected to AC power or it
will not power up.
3. With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other peripherals requiring battery backup
into the battery power supplied outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space
heater, vacuum, sump pump or other large electrical devices into the “Battery and Surge Protected
Outlets”. The power demands of these devices may overload and damage the UPS.
4. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch
outlet is
protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (e.g. air
conditioner, copier, etc…). The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips.
5. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator light will illuminate and the unit will “beep”.
If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To correct this, turn the UPS off and
unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power supplied outlets. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and
then turn the UPS on.
6. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
7. To store the UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery
every three months to ensure battery life.
