Product Features
Technical Overview
This Smart-UPS C 1000VA LCD operates as a line-interactive UPS, providing automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery. The input voltage range of 170-300V AC accommodates varying grid conditions, while the 60Hz input and output frequencies ensure compatibility with standard equipment. Surge protection is rated at 455 joules, offering additional defense against voltage spikes.
The battery system utilizes a single hot-swappable lead-acid battery, supporting runtime of 6.10 minutes at full load (600W) and extending to 16.18 minutes at half load (300W). Management interfaces include serial, USB, and HID-compliant USB ports for integration with power management software. Environmental specifications include operation up to 104°F (40°C) and 0-95% humidity, with thermal dissipation of 100 BTU/h.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Receptacle Detail, Load Capacity (VA), so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
