Product Features
High-density outlet configuration
Connect multiple professional devices simultaneously with six IEC C13 outlets that provide both battery backup and surge protection for computers, servers, and networking equipment. The standardized IEC connections ensure secure, reliable power delivery for professional IT equipment without the limitations of universal outlets. This high-density configuration supports complex setups in server closets, workstations, and professional entertainment systems where multiple devices require protection.
Enhanced surge protection
Provide superior equipment protection with 480-joule surge suppression that defends against power spikes, electrical noise, and lightning-induced surges. The robust surge protection rating exceeds standard models, offering enhanced security for valuable professional equipment and sensitive electronics. This comprehensive protection is particularly valuable in areas with frequent electrical storms or unstable power infrastructure where equipment investment is substantial.
Extended runtime performance
Ensure adequate operational time during outages with optimized battery capacity that delivers extended runtime for connected equipment. The 216 volt-amp-hour battery capacity provides sufficient time for graceful system shutdowns or continued operation during brief power interruptions. The 24V lead-acid battery system ensures reliable performance with an 8-hour recharge time to full capacity, maintaining readiness for subsequent power events.
Professional voltage regulation
Maintain optimal power quality with Automatic Voltage Regulation that automatically corrects under-voltage and over-voltage conditions within the 140-300V range without draining battery power. The voltage regulation technology protects connected professional equipment from brownouts and overvoltages that can damage sensitive electronics or cause data corruption. This intelligent feature significantly extends battery life by minimizing unnecessary battery usage during common voltage fluctuations.
Rapid power transfer
Ensure seamless operation with fast 6ms typical transfer time (10ms maximum) that prevents equipment shutdown during brief power interruptions. The quick transition to battery power maintains continuous operation of connected devices, preventing system crashes, data loss, and equipment damage that can occur during momentary power drops or blackouts. This performance is critical for servers, network infrastructure, and professional workstations.
Comprehensive system monitoring
Monitor UPS operation through intuitive LED indicators that provide immediate visual status of power conditions, battery operation, and load capacity. Audible alarms offer additional notification for critical conditions including low battery and overload situations. These monitoring features enable proactive management of power events and maintenance needs, ensuring optimal protection of connected equipment.
