4.3 Protection Strategies
This UPS provides high performance power line protection to the loads. There are, however, other
potential entry points for damaging surges in information systems. These include serial ports (RS-
232, RS-422, RS-485, etc.), parallel ports, telephone lines, and network connections. These other
entry points must be considered in developing a comprehensive system protection strategy. Con-
tact your dealer or call the number in the front of this manual for information on a complete set
of related products designed to accomplish total system protection.
Sensitive information systems can be further safeguarded by following these guidelines:
Verify that all electrical outlets are properly grounded.
Connect information systems to a different electrical service branch than heavy motor loads
like air conditioners, copiers, refrigerators, and heavy industrial machinery.
Plug all power protection and information system equipment into the same branch where
possible.
