APC Back-UPS, 1600VA, Tower, 230V, 4x γαλλικές πρίζες Schuko CEE 7/5, AVR

The APC Back-UPS 1600VA Tower is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply designed to provide battery backup and surge protection for home and small business electronics. With a 1.6 kVA capacity and 900 W output power, this compact black tower model includes sealed lead-acid battery technology and offers typical backup times around 6.5 minutes at half load. It provides four AC outlets that support both battery backup and surge protection, Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct voltage dips and spikes, a surge energy rating of 273 Joules, and comes with CE certification and a 2-year warranty.

Advantages

The unit supplies combined battery backup and surge protection across all four outlets, helping maintain operation of networking equipment, computers and gaming consoles during short power interruptions. AVR stabilizes incoming voltage without using battery power for common sags and surges, while the sealed battery design reduces maintenance needs. Compact tower form factor and standard Type E AC outlets simplify installation in small offices or home setups.

How to use

Place the UPS on a stable, ventilated surface and connect your critical devices to the four battery-backed outlets. Plug the UPS into a grounded mains socket using the supplied power cord and switch the unit on. The AVR function operates automatically to correct voltage fluctuations; batteries will supply power to connected devices during outages. Monitor the UPS status via its front panel indicators and connect the USB port to a computer if you require communication or shutdown software support. Replace the sealed lead-acid battery according to the manufacturer’s service instructions when end-of-life is reached.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid connecting high inrush or non-essential loads (such as laser printers or large power tools) to the battery-backed outlets. Regularly test the unit under load and follow the two-year warranty and local disposal guidelines for sealed lead-acid batteries.
