Product Features

Pure sine wave output

Ensure compatibility with sensitive electronics and active PFC power supplies through clean, stable pure sine wave output that replicates utility power quality. This advanced waveform technology prevents equipment damage and performance issues that can occur with simulated sine wave outputs, making it ideal for servers, medical equipment, and advanced networking gear. The consistent power quality maintains equipment efficiency and extends the lifespan of connected devices.

Automatic voltage regulation

Protect equipment from damaging voltage fluctuations with built-in automatic voltage regulation that corrects under-voltage and over-voltage conditions without switching to battery power. The AVR technology maintains output voltage within safe operating ranges for input voltages from 160V to 280V, significantly extending battery life by reducing unnecessary battery usage. This feature is particularly valuable in areas with unstable grid power or frequent voltage variations.

Comprehensive power management

Monitor and control UPS operation through the multi-function graphic LCD display that provides real-time status information, power metrics, and configuration options. The display shows input/output voltage, frequency, load capacity, battery status, and runtime remaining, enabling proactive power management. Communication ports including USB and serial interfaces allow integration with power management software for automated shutdown and monitoring.

Energy-efficient operation

Reduce operating costs with Green Mode functionality that optimizes power conversion efficiency while maintaining complete power protection. The high-efficiency design minimizes energy waste and heat generation, resulting in lower electricity costs and reduced cooling requirements. This eco-friendly operation aligns with sustainability initiatives while providing reliable power protection.

Extensive connectivity options

Power multiple devices simultaneously with eight IEC C13 outlets and one high-power IEC C19 outlet that accommodate various equipment types and power requirements. The diverse outlet configuration supports mixed equipment environments including servers, networking gear, storage systems, and peripheral devices. The IEC C20 input connection provides secure power input with standard data center compatibility.

Robust surge protection

Safeguard connected equipment from power surges and spikes with 300 joules of surge protection and full-time noise filtering. The comprehensive electrical protection eliminates line noise and transient voltages that can damage sensitive electronics or cause data corruption. This multi-layer protection ensures equipment reliability and data integrity in challenging power environments.
