OVERVIEW
The
BL1250U provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The BL1250U features 800 Joules of surge
protection. The unit provides long lasting battery backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries. The BL1250U 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
BL1250U
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. If the rated capacity of the unit is 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. For optimal system performance keep the
load below 80% of the unit’s rated 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.
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.
2. 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 unit.
3. 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 in conjunction with the UPS unit.
4. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator lights up and the unit will “beep” twice.
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.
5. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
6. 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.
7. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.

1.
INPUT voltage meter:
This meter measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the utility wall outlet. The UPS is designed, through the use of
automatic voltage regulation, to continuously correct output voltage to connected equipment to a safe 110/120 voltage output range. In the
event of a complete power loss, severe brownout, or over-voltage, the UPS relies on its internal battery to supply consistent 110/120
output voltage. The INPUT voltage meter can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor-quality input power.
2.
OUTPUT voltage meter:
This meter measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is providing to the computer, such as normal line mode, AVR mode,
and battery backup mode. (Note: The OUTPUT voltage meter shows the status of the battery backup outlets.)
3.
ESTIMATED RUNTIME:
This displays the run time estimate of the UPS with current battery capacity and load.
4.
