APC by Schneider Electric has announced its Back-UPS 800 and 1100 series, which provides enough battery backup power to allow users to work through short length power outages.
Specifically designed for areas with challenging power conditions, the Back-UPS range features automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that stabilises output voltage to protect electronics over a wide range of a mains dips and swells, allowing users to work indefinitely during brownouts and ‘over’ voltages.
“The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) series is available with four South African battery backup and surge protected sockets for easy-to-use connection for a PC, monitor, router and other protected equipment. Coupled with all the other standard features of the Back-UPS range, the 800 and 1100 series are perfect units to protect productivity from the threat of bad power and lost data,” says Gina Santos, distribution manager at APC by Schneider Electric.
She explains that the product applications include PC and peripherals, networking equipment (router, modem), game consoles, LCD/LED TVs and projectors with impulse power. Product features comprise:
* USB connection and PowerChute software to protect systems by enabling unattended shut down or hibernation of PC OS when UPS battery is low.
* Windows software that enables access to UPS power monitoring with features to set operation of interface, shut down and energy savings.
* A pushbutton circuit breaker allows quick recovery from overload.
