The MB1500 Rackmount UPS from Panamax combines power management, voltage regulation, and surge protection with automatic voltage monitoring and battery backup to provide a complete power solution for your audio, video, and computer equipment. With voltage regulation and monitoring, the MB1500 keeps power running clean and even, reducing added noise and distortion to your audio and video gear. In the event of a surge greater than the capacity of the surge protection components, the MB1500's protect or disconnect circuitry will disconnect your equipment in order to protect it. The MB1500 will prevent critical equipment from stored data and hard-disk crashes, and from losing setup configuration. Especially good for equipment such as projectors, the MB1500 can shut off equipment via IR control to allow projector bulbs to go through a proper cool-down cycle before shutting off.

Panamax’s power monitoring circuitry constantly monitors the AC line voltage for unsafe voltage conditions such as momentary spikes or prolonged overvoltages and undervoltages (brownouts). These unsafe conditions pose a very dangerous threat to all electronic equipment within the home. If the MB1500 senses an unsafe power condition, it will automatically disconnect your equipment from the power to protect equipment from damage. When the MB1500 disconnects from power, the battery backup outlets are switched to battery power.

The MB1500 will withstand, without damage, 10,000A surges, far exceeding the UL requirement of only 3000 Ampere surges.

Unfortunately, traditional AC power conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies, whether multiple-pole or conventional series-mode filters, could actually harm audio and video performance more than they help, due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line. Worse still, lost digital data, the need to reboot digital presets, or destruction of sensitive digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating the equipment ground. Panamax’s LiFT takes a different approach, ensuring optimal performance through linear AC noise filtering with no ground contamination.

The RS-232 communication card provided with the MB1500 allows connection and communication between the MB1500 and an automation, media server, or computer system. This allows the installer to program a number of variables, including the Critical Load Battery Threshold.

BlueBOLT Compatibility (with BlueBOLT-CV1 interface card, sold separately) provides remote access to reboot components, power equipment on or off, and monitor power quality from anywhere in the world.

Panamax’s BATT1500-EXT external battery pack (sold separately) offers extended battery runtime when used in conjunction with the Panamax MB1500.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how many rack units does this take up? seems larger than 1ru but smaller than 2ru?

A: The CyberPower 1000W PFC Sinewave Rackmount UPS, (B&H # CY1500PFCRM2), is 2RU.

Q: 2. Can this AR-5000 Run off Of Solar? And If It Dose Can I Plug It In A Converter.?
