About this deal

Check the Tech Reviews and download documentation and software as appropriate - assess BEFORE splashing the cash. It is probably over-specified for my setup as (according to the accompanying management software) it only draws around 100 watts of power most of the time and the forecast battery time in the event of a power cut is estimated at over 25 minutes. The format (a taller double-sided multi-plug extender format) may suit more than the usual "tower" UPSes. Guide to assessing product sustainability is a white paper that clarifies global eco-label standards and how to interpret environmental declarations.

Ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment.

Anyway, I was just going to send it back when I though to open it up (thankfully easy) and immediately noticed the cable dangling around. Follow the documentation (download the full manual) and in particular plug the UPS directly into a mains socket rather than through e. It's quite compact and good for 500W even though the TV is about 200W and lighting combined about 200W. Green Premium TM label is Schneider Electric’s commitment to delivering products with best-in-class environmental performance. Adjustable voltage sensitivity provides the ability to adapt the UPS for optimal performance in specific power environments or generator applications.

Note that this size battery (850VA) won't keep full PC systems operating for long, but is ideal to allow graceful shutdowns and keeping routers running to maintain internet access via mobile devices (charged ideally by other means) during an extended power cut. This specific line of Back-UPS uninterrupted power supplies by APC includes just two models with rather limited capacities (650VA, 400W/850VA, 520W) making it clear from the get go that they can be used with pretty much any electrical device found in homes and offices (still not the ideal choice for sensitive equipment). Reserves power capacity and run time for connected equipment that require UPS battery back-up while providing surge only protection for less critical equipment.With my PC (a fairly powerful beast with an 850w power supply); my monitor (a 24" Dell) and my modem and router plugged in, the software tells me that I have an incredible 45 minutes of backup power!

A tested and effective design giving good electrical protection to devices running from the battery plus surge protection and limited ability to charge mobile devices. Automatic self-test Periodic battery self-test ensures early detection of a battery that needs to be replaced. I have tried using power surge protectors, but these tend to work just once - when you have suffered a power surge the protectors will work but cannot be reset. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The APC Back-UPS is a battery backup and surge protector that prevents computers and other electronic devices from being damaged by extended power outages or surges in electrical current.Note that as another reviewer mentioned, mine also had an internal connector uncoupled and thus was not charging the battery. Winter is coming and with it brings serious headaches, especially for people living in the European Unio n . Our engineers can carry out on site UPS battery replacements for all makes and models of uninterruptible power supply during normal office hours, or out of hours with minimal fuss or interruption to your business.
