The compact tower design, clear LED status indicators, and efficient power management make this UPS an ideal solution for environments requiring extended runtime and superior power protection.
Product Features
High-capacity power backup
Support multiple high-demand devices simultaneously with 2200VA/1200W capacity that provides extended runtime for computers, servers, networking gear, and peripherals during power outages. The substantial power rating enables continued operation of essential equipment with approximately 8 minutes at 600W load or graceful system shutdowns at full load, protecting data and maintaining productivity. This enhanced capacity is well-suited for small business environments, workstations, and high-end entertainment systems requiring reliable extended power protection.
Advanced voltage regulation
Maintain optimal power quality with Automatic Voltage Regulation that automatically corrects under-voltage and over-voltage conditions between 140-300V without draining battery power. The voltage regulation stabilizes input power, protecting connected equipment from brownouts and overvoltages that can damage sensitive electronics. This intelligent feature significantly extends battery life by minimizing unnecessary battery usage during common voltage fluctuations, making it particularly valuable in areas with unstable power grids.
Comprehensive surge protection
Safeguard connected electronics with 273-joule surge protection that defends against power spikes, electrical noise, and lightning-induced surges. The robust surge suppression covers all outlets, preventing damage to valuable electronics from common power disturbances. The comprehensive protection addresses six different power problems including power failures, voltage sags, voltage surges, and electrical line noise that can damage equipment or cause data loss.
Extended runtime capability
Ensure adequate time for system shutdown or continued operation with 8-minute runtime at 600W half load and approximately 1 minute at full 1200W load. The extended battery performance provides sufficient time to save work, properly shut down systems, or continue operation through brief power interruptions. The 24V lead-acid battery system delivers reliable performance with an 8-hour recharge time to full capacity.
Universal outlet compatibility
Accommodate diverse equipment with four universal outlets that support various international plug types without requiring adapters. The outlet configuration enables simultaneous protection of multiple devices including computers, monitors, networking gear, and peripherals while ensuring proper physical connection regardless of plug design. This universal compatibility makes the UPS suitable for environments with equipment from different geographical regions.
Clear status monitoring
Monitor system operation through intuitive LED indicators that provide immediate visual status of power conditions, battery operation, and load conditions. Audible alarms offer additional notification for critical conditions including power events and battery status changes. These monitoring features enable users to respond appropriately to power events and maintenance needs, ensuring optimal UPS performance and equipment protection.
