The standby UPS system provides reliable battery backup and AC power protection against blackouts,
brownouts, over-voltages, surges, and line noise that can damage valuable electronics or destroy data. The 3-,
4-, and 5 -outlet 120V battery backup is the ideal protection for your home office, media center or professional
kiosk, security and small-business phone applications, computers, routers, printers, HDTVs, Blu-ray players,
game consoles, ATMs, security systems and digital signage equipment.
Backup support allows you to work through short power failures and gives you enough time to save files safely
and shut down your system in case of a prolonged blackout. Backup time varies according to load, but the UPS
should keep an energy-efficient desktop computer with a small LCD monitor powered for as long as 13
minutes. In Line Mode, incoming utility power keeps the replaceable internal battery fully charged, so backup
power will always be available. A high (>97%) line-mode efficiency rating reduces BTU emissions, energy
consumption, and energy costs.
Various electromagnetic and radio sources in virtually every home and business can cause disruptive
interference on the AC line. Known as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference
(RFI), this line noise is a common cause of performance problems and can lead to incremental hardware
damage, data corruption, and audio/video transmission problems. The UPS incorporates technology that filters
out disruptive line noise so it won't affect your equipment.
Other key features include:
• User-replaceable battery.
• Compact housing with easy desktop or wall mount installation option.
• Alarm remains silent in backup mode, sounding only when imperative.
• Auto-restart during AC recovery.
• Overload protection when operating on AC and Battery modes.
• Input voltage out-of-range protection.
