Features

A UPS is a device that acts as a defensive barrier between electronic equipment and incoming power problems. It conditions, regulates, and filters out power disturbances to ensure a clean power source for IT equipment. A UPS also provides battery backup if there is a power failure.
In today’s high availability server environments, unplanned power outages or line quality irregularities can have a considerable financial effect on all sized businesses. The typical utility power is 99.9% available, but that means that there can be almost 9 hours of downtime a year, which includes brownouts and other power quality problems.
Selecting the right UPS can help protect against these potentially costly incidents.
The T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS-G2 units are most effective against five power problems: power failures, power sags, power surges, under-voltage, and over-voltage.
The T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS-G2 models offer the following features:

• High-efficiency protection delivers more real power (watts) in a compact design, lowering power, and cooling consumption
• Graphical Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides intuitive configuration, management, and monitoring capabilities in the following languages to reduce management complexity:
  º Chinese
  º English
  º French
  º German
  º Italian
  º Japanese
  º Spanish
• Hot-swappable batteries for maximum uptime, availability, and ease of maintenance
• Subscription based Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) Software seamlessly integrates with leading virtualization environments and cloud orchestration tools. IPM provides effective local or remote power monitoring and management for servers and virtual machines and allows for graceful remote system shutdown
• ABM technology significantly extends battery service life and optimizes recharge time
• Load segments for individual control of receptacle groups to manage sequential shut downs and start ups and reserve battery run time for the most critical equipment
• Optional Network card-G2 for enhanced UPS monitoring and control over-the-network through a standard web browser
• Optional Environmental Monitoring Probe for thermal management requirements (temperature and humidity)
• Allows dual channel communication through the USB or RS-232 port and an optional NMC at the same time to maximize communications flexibility
• Remote flash upgradeable firmware for the UPS and NMC-G2, which makes it an ideal solution for remote locations
• Includes a Remote On/Off (ROO)/Remote Power Off (RPO) port to control power of the UPS unit through a wired remote switch
