Safeguard your home theater system and get the convenience of automatic battery backup with this uninterruptible power supply from Panamax. Connect up to nine components to the MB850's surge-protected outlets — five of which also provide battery power when the electricity goes out. In the event of a blackout or "brownout," the built-in battery keeps your components up and running for a period of time between six minutes and two hours, depending on the amount of current your system draws. This gives you time to shut down your system in a safe, orderly manner.

How does battery backup power help?
An uninterruptible power supply reduces the hassles and even potential damage to your gear that can be caused by sudden outages. For instance, if you have a DLP projection TV, it's important to properly cool down the DLP's lamp to prevent damage to the bulb. The MB850 allows the cooling fan to finish cooling down the lamp all the way, even when AC power fails. Plus, battery backup power helps you avoid losing programmed DVR recordings, unsaved video games, and convenient system settings. If you have a home theater PC in your system, you can keep it connected and rely on the MB850 to automatically save and close your open computer files when the power goes out.

Safe, clean power
The MB850 also gives you consistent, clean power which helps your system perform at its best. Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM) circuitry keeps outgoing AC power within an optimal voltage range for your home theater components. You also get "coax" connections for protecting your cable line or satellite receiver, plus ports for a phone line or Ethernet cable. The LCD display lets you closely monitor info such as voltage, battery capacity, and load level. And a line fault indicator alerts you to any faulty wiring within your system.
