Product Information

Apart from just being plain annoying, signs like these could mean that your Wi-Fi signal has slowed down, and it's time to boost that Wi-Fi connection. So, you want to improve your Wi-Fi signal and you keep hearing access points pop up all over the place as a solution. It's the best design I've had yet so I live in hope of it having a long life and recommend it for anyone looking for a consumer UPS. It is probably over-specified for my setup as (according to the accompanying management software) it only draws around 100 watts of power most of the time and the forecast battery time in the event of a power cut is estimated at over 25 minutes.

USB connection Use your PC to access additional power protection and management features for your UPS via a USB Port. It's quite compact and good for 500W even though the TV is about 200W and lighting combined about 200W.

Allows you to simultaneously charge and power your mobile phone and handheld computer using APC USB charging cables (sold separately). This of course doesn’t apply to just people but also every piece of electronic device we have in our houses (power outages, blackouts, etc) so for today’s review I wanted to get a rather compact UPS model which could be used by anyone with a large number of devices without breaking the bank in terms of cost. Yep, one cable was dangling around - pushed it into connector, connected AC power and works perfectly! Battery charging indicator Lets you know when your battery is charging and when it is fully charged. Replacement UPS batteries can also be replaced during a maintenance visit or as part of a UPS health check.

It gives detailed information on energy usage and UPS performance and therefore indicates how long the unit's battery would be expected to power your IT system for. The unit has UK power sockets, so no hunting for the special computer mains cables needed with other UPS supplies. Both models are available with either schuko or BS 1363 power sockets (8 in total – 6 battery and surge protected and 2 surge protected) and feature standby topology with stepped approximation to a sinewave output waveform which according to APC means low transfer times from 6ms and up to 10ms. Not too bothered if it's a full on power cut as these are very rare, but actually if I'm right then in a meeting on my laptop I'm reliably still present.Building Wiring Fault Indicator This LED informs users of potentially dangerous wiring problems in the wall circuit.
