Product Features
Technical Overview
This SmartOnline UPS employs double-conversion online technology, continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and back to AC, isolating connected equipment from all common power problems including blackouts, brownouts, surges, and frequency variations. The pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive electronics, while the 570 J surge energy rating and integrated circuit breaker provide additional protection against transient voltage spikes.
Management capabilities include SNMP support for network integration, USB and serial ports for local monitoring, and configurable alarms for low battery, power failure, overload, UPS fault, and remote shutdown events. Seven front-panel LEDs offer at-a-glance status indication for line power availability, AC-to-DC conversion, battery mode, inverter mode, eco mode, bypass mode, and AC output status.
Relevant factors for this section include Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Receptacle Detail, Load Capacity (VA). When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
