1.5kVA/900W/230V Battery Backup for PCs, Home Theaters or Digital SignageThis SmartPro® line-interactive UPS system with AVR protection provides reliable battery backup and AC power protection against blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, surges and line noise that can damage valuable electronics or destroy data. The 230V battery backup is ideal protection for your home office, media center or commerce components, including computers, routers, printers, HDTVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, ATMs, kiosks, security systems and digital signage equipment.Allows Time to Back Up Critical Files During a Blackout Backup support allows you to work through short power failures and gives you enough time to safely save files and shut down your system in case of a prolonged blackout. Backup time varies according to load, but the line-interactive UPS system should keep an energy-efficient desktop computer with small LCD monitor powered as long as 90 minutes. During normal operation, incoming utility power keeps the replaceable internal battery fully charged, so backup power will always be available.8 IEC 320 C13 Outlets Protect Your Connected ComponentsSix C13 outlets provide battery backup, surge protection and voltage regulation for your computer, monitor and other crucial components. The other two C13 outlets provide surge suppression only for printers, speakers and other desktop equipment regarded as non-essential during a blackout. Included outlet adapters convert two C13 outlets to 10A Australia/New Zealand-compatible outlets. A high >95% line mode efficiency rating reduces BTU emissions, energy consumption and, ultimately, your energy costs.Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) Corrects Low- and High-Voltage ConditionsAVR protects your equipment from incremental hardware damage, data loss and performance problems caused by brownouts and overvoltages. The SMX1500LCDTA can correct brownouts as low as 170V and overvoltages as high as 280V back to nominal 230V power continuously, all while keeping the battery fully charged and ready to take over in case of power failure.455 Joules Fight Back Against Unexpected Power SurgesA 455-joule surge suppression rating protects connected components from the harmful effects of power surges. In addition to the C13 outlets, the RJ45 jacks for phone, DSL, fax, modem and Ethernet connections (not compatible with PoE applications) also are protected against surges.Combats Electromagnetic Interference That Can Harm EquipmentEMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) line noise is a common cause of performance problems and can lead to incremental hardware damage, data corruption and audio/video transmission problems. The SMX1500LCDTA incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line noise so that it won’t affect your equipment.Interactive LCD Reports Real-Time UPS and Power StatusThe multifunction LCD screen displays vital voltage, load and battery data, as well as critical fault status. An audible alarm will sound in case of low battery, overload, fault and power failure.HID-Compliant USB Port Allows for Automatic Saves and ShutdownsThis port connects the SMX1500LCDTA to a computer running free downloadable PowerAlert® software to enable safe unattended system shutdown in case of a prolonged power failure. USB cable is included. The UPS works with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.Tower Form Factor for Easy Placement in Your Workspace or Media CenterThe compact ABS housing fits easily on a desktop, shelf or anywhere else convenient to your workstation or home theater. Connect the C14 power inlet to a properly grounded AC wall outlet with a user-supplied power cord with country-specific plug. A detachable 1.5-meter power cord with 10A Australia/New Zealand input plug is included. A variable-speed cooling fan regulates the UPS system’s internal temperature to prevent the unit from overheating.
