2. OVERVIEW
2.1 Introduction and specifications
Gamatronic is proud to present to you the line-interactive
SMART COMPACT UPS
(Uninterruptible
Power Supply). The
SMART COMPACT UPS
provides high-quality protection for a PC, a network
workstation, or any small Internet-connected device. The
SMART COMPACT UPS
includes built-in line
conditioning known as AVR (Auto-Voltage regulation), the best technology for protecting your PC against
all power disturbances, including power blackouts, power surge and power sag. Your choice of the
SMART COMPACT UPS
means you are working smart, protecting your PC against power irregularities,
and protecting yourself against data loss.
2.2
In case of ac mains power failure
In the event of a power failure, the
SMART COMPACT UPS
supplies stable backup power to your
computer (or other connected device) from internal batteries. There is no interruption of power to your
computer.
The
SMART COMPACT UPS
informs you of the loss of ac power by lighting the orange LED on the front
panel, and beeping every four seconds.
The length of time that the
SMART COMPACT UPS
can supply backup power depends on the power
usage of the attached computer or other load, and on the level of battery charge.
In the case where the UPS is connected to a typical PC computer and the UPS battery is fully charged,
you can count on at least three to five minutes of backup, enough time to save your work and shutdown
the computer in an orderly fashion.
Printers typically draw large amounts of power, as do many household appliances. The
SMART
COMPACT UPS
is not designed to provide large amounts of power so do not connect a printer or
household appliances to the UPS.
Be aware that you need to charge the UPS batteries before your first use of the UPS. See section 4.3 on
page 6.
