APC by Schneider Electric has introduced the APC BX650 battery backup with surge protection for electronics and computers. The unit features three South African outlets, all with enough battery back-up power to allow customers to work through short length power outages while safeguarding equipment against damaging surges and spikes that travel along utility lines.
Specifically designed for areas requiring power conditioning, the back-UP's 650 features automatic voltage regulation (AVR), which instantly adjusts high and low voltages to safe levels for electronics, allowing customers to work indefinitely during periods of brownouts and over voltages. Other standard features include:
* Combination power/status LED indicator and audible alarms – provide status of UPS functions and power.
* Pushbutton circuit breaker – enables quick recovery from overload.
* Automatic diagnostic testing – ensures the BX650 unit is ready when required.
* Data line surge protection – guards against surges and spikes travelling over analogue telephone lines.
* PowerChute Software – preserves work and shuts down system during outages.
