UPS 7500XHV and UPS 10000XHV models are high-performance uninterruptible power supplies, designed to pre-
vent blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges from reaching your computer and other sensitive electronic equipment. The uninter-
ruptible power supply filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally
disconnecting from the utility line. The uninterruptible power supply provides continuous power from its internal battery until
the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
