Product Features
Technical Overview
This Smart-UPS model operates with single-phase power, accepting 120V AC input and delivering regulated 120V AC output. The double-conversion architecture ensures complete isolation from input power fluctuations, with a pure sine wave output that matches utility-grade power quality. The unit provides 340 joules of surge energy protection across all connected outlets.
Power management is facilitated through the included PowerChute Serial Edition software, enabling graceful shutdown of connected systems via serial or USB interfaces. The UPS features a SmartSlot for additional management card options, though cards are sold separately. Energy Star certification and RoHS compliance reflect its environmental design considerations.
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.
