Power is a concern in South Africa with power outages commonplace. Ensuring power and protection for businesses, distributor Drive Control Corporation (DCC) has introduced the latest APC Back-UPS BX700UI, BX950UI and BX1400UI uninterrupted power supplies (UPSes).
Ideal for the small office home office (SoHo) market, the APC Smart Back-UPS units offer more features and functionality to suit your needs.
“The power challenge faced by South Africans is a concern and more often than not, affects many small businesses and home offices. It is essential for these businesses to power and protect their office equipment should an outage take place. The APC Back-UPS is the ideal solution specifically designed to provide crucial battery power when you need it most during storms and power outages,” says Elrica Quick, APC Product Specialist at DCC.
The APC Back-UPS 700, 950 and 1400 offer a host of features including Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), instantly correcting voltage fluctuations. This ensures equipment is not damaged by voltage fluctuations and that power is regulated so that users can continue working through inconsistent power and battery power is conserved for when you need it. Surges and spikes can also damage analogue phone lines, and these UPS’ data line surge protectors’ guards against this damage too.
USB connectivity and PowerChute Software allows users to access additional power protection- and management features for their UPS via their computer. These features include automatic shut down and restart of your system, customisation of your UPS settings as well as monitoring of power and battery statuses. Automatic diagnostic testing allows for periodic battery self-test for early detection of battery replacement . Furthermore, Push Button Circuit Breakers provides easy recovery from circuit overloads and protects your fuse box and electronics from electrical damage.
It is essential that you close all your documents and safely shut down all equipment should the power go out and it is important to ensure you have the appropriate battery power for your needs and requirements. The internal batteries included in the UPS, provides the user with between two minutes and 80 minutes of battery life depending on the type of equipment and the number of devices connected to the UPS. The LED indicator and audible alarms provides users with visual and audio alarms, allowing for quick monitoring on the status of the UPS.
“Protecting your equipment when outages occur and ensuring you have enough power to continue your operation when the power goes out is essential in the SoHo market. Maximise your productivity and your work efficiency while providing critical power during emergencies with APC Back-UPSes,” concludes Quick.
