Know before you buy
Pure sine wave output provides a clean, consistent electrical signal that mimics the power from a standard wall outlet. This is essential for sensitive IT hardware, such as servers with Active PFC power supplies, which can malfunction or shut down if they receive the 'stepped' or 'simulated' sine wave produced by cheaper UPS units.
At full load (1000W), you can expect approximately 7 minutes of runtime. If you are running at half load (500W), that runtime increases to about 19.5 minutes, which provides a sufficient buffer to safely save your work and shut down your systems.
Yes, this model features built-in cloud management capabilities for remote monitoring and control. It also supports various communication interfaces, including USB, Serial, SNMP, and Relay, allowing for flexible integration into your existing network management infrastructure.
Yes, the unit is designed for a standard 2U rack-mount configuration. It is intended to fit into server racks, though you should ensure your rack has the required depth and weight capacity to support the unit before installation.
This guarantee covers damage to equipment that is properly connected to the UPS if that equipment is damaged by a power surge or lightning strike while plugged into the unit. It serves as a secondary layer of protection, provided the UPS is used within its specified operating parameters.
The unit uses a standard NEMA 5-15P plug, which is compatible with standard 120V household or office wall outlets. It provides 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets, allowing you to plug in up to eight devices for both surge protection and battery backup.
