Back-UPS Pro

All the features of Back-UPS...

  • Instantaneous Backup Power beats blackouts and brownouts
    According to a study by Bell Labs, undervoltages represent the overwhelming majority of power problems likely to hit your computer. Instantaneous power from the Back-UPS prevents data loss caused by outages and brownouts.
  • Lightning and Surge Protection offer maximum hardware protection
    When measured using the test methods detailed in ANSI/IEEE 587 Category “A,” the suppression performance of the Back-UPS is superior to virtually all separate surge suppressors. Back-UPS are UL 1449 rated for maximum surge protection.
  • Network-grade Line Conditioning prevents glitches
    Superior line conditioning is built into all Back-UPS and conforms with Novell’s recommendations for LAN protection without the need for additional external conditioners.
  • Full-time EMI/RFI filters prevent electrical noise from affecting computer operation or introducing “glitches” into data files.

  • User Replaceable, Hot-Swappable Batteries lower service costs and increase life span
    Back-UPS models 600 and lower have user-replaceable batteries that can be easily swapped out without powering down the connected load. This saves the time and expense of returning the UPS to the factory for battery service. Replacement battery kits ship in a reusable box for convenient return of exhausted batteries to a recycling center.
  • Communications Interface automatically preserves data integrity
    An interface port (on models Back-UPS 400 and higher) provides a connection for automatic, safe system shutdown for all major network operating systems and Windows PCs.
  • Test Switch for ongoing peace of mind
    A front panel test switch allows you to check for proper operation by initiating a transfer to battery power; this ensures that the UPS is not overloaded and will support the system during an actual power disturbance. The test switch also allows you to estimate battery backup time and ensure adequate runtime for your application. By using the test button to monitor battery status throughout the service life of the UPS, you can estimate when the batteries may need replacing.
  • Site Diagnostics save you trouble and expense
    A site wiring fault indicator automatically spots missing ground and reversed polarity, two common miswirings which usually require an electrician’s visit to diagnose.
  • Compact Design for efficient use of your workspace
    Back-UPS are designed with aesthetics in mind. These units integrate nicely into your desktop area and allow power control at your fingertips.
  • 2 year warranty
    Unmatched reliability means you can purchase with confidence.
  • Full approvals mean a safe, reliable solution.
    UL, CSA and Novell approvals mean a safe reliable solution to your power problems.
  • $25,000 Lifetime Equipment Protection
    For as long as you own your Back-UPS, if your properly connected equipment is ever damaged by an AC surge, including surges due to lightning, APC will repair or replace our product and up to $25,000 of connected equipment (US and Canada only, see policy for details).

...PLUS...

  • The first UPS “Designed for Windows 95”.
    Back-UPS Pro PNP (Plug and Play) include PowerChute Pro power management software. PowerChute Pro’s new WorkSafeTM feature saves and closes applications in an orderly manner to ensure the integrity of your valuable data, all without user intervention.
  • Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) provides true brownout and overvoltage correction
    APC Back-UPS Pro products increase your productivity by allowing you to work through problems that shut other UPSs down by automatically stepping up low voltage, and automatically stepping down high voltage to output that is safe for your computer without unnecessary battery drain.
  • Top:
    Overvoltage puts stress on delicate computer components and causes premature failure. Brownout causes frozen keyboards and system crashes resulting in loss or corruption of data.

    Middle:
    UPS goes on battery.
    Batteries depleted; user must exit.

    Bottom:
    Back-UPS Pro continues indefinitely without draining batteries.



  • Modem/10Base-T network cable surge suppression
    Back-UPS Pro units provide surge protection for a single line phone circuit or 10BT network cable to prevent “back door” damage to your computer system.
  • CellGuard, Intelligent Battery Management increases runtime, performanceand reliability
    Microprocessor controlled circuitry monitors battery performance and maximizes battery life via: AVR; automatic self tests and reporting; on battery, low battery, replace battery indicators; fast battery recharging; and battery discharge protection.
  • Line-interactive design delivers greater operating efficiency
    An innovative design in which the inverter works “in reverse” charging the batteries during normal operation, providing greater efficiency and reliability. Outperforms standby and on-line designs.
  • Advanced Warning Diagnostics prevent downtime
    Front panel LED’s indicate on line, on battery, overload, and replace battery conditions; audible alarms also alert the user when the system is overloaded, on battery, has reached low battery, or needs battery replacement.
