Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the runtime for typical computer equipment?
A: The 500VA battery backup provides approximately 8-12 minutes runtime for a desktop computer and monitor at 50% load, sufficient for graceful shutdown during power outages. Runtime varies based on connected load and battery condition.
Q: How does line-interactive technology differ from standard UPS systems?
A: Line-interactive UPS systems use built-in voltage regulation to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery, extending battery life and providing better power conditioning than basic standby units.
Q: Is the tower form factor suitable for desk placement?
A: Yes, the compact tower design is specifically engineered for desktop or floor placement in small office environments. The unit measures compact enough to fit under most desks while remaining easily accessible.
Q: What equipment can I connect to the different outlet types?
A: Connect critical equipment like computers and monitors to the 3 battery backup outlets for full protection. Use the 3 surge-only outlets for less critical devices like printers or speakers that need surge protection but not battery backup.
