EATON AVR550U 550VA 300W Line Interactive UPS Outlet Tower

EATON-AVR550U-550VA-300W-Line-Interactive-UPS-Outlet-Tower-
PRODUCT

Desktop UPS provides battery backup support with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) for your home/office network system or home theater.

Features

550VA/300W/120V Battery Backup for PCs, Home Theater or Digital Signage

The line-interactive AVR550U UPS system with AVR protection provides reliable battery backup and AC power protection against blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, surges and line noise that can damage valuable electronics or destroy data. The eight-outlet 120V battery backup is ideal protection for your home office, media center or commerce components, including computers, routers, printers, HDTVs, Bluray players, game consoles, ATMs, security systems and digital signage equipment.

Allows Time to Back Up Critical Files During a Blackout

Backup support allows you to work through short power failures and gives you enough time to safely save files and shut down your system in case of a prolonged blackout. Backup time varies according to load, but the line- interactive UPS system should keep an energy-efficient desktop computer with small LCD monitor powered as long as 32 minutes. During normal operation, incoming utility power keeps the replaceable internal battery fully charged, so backup power will always be available.

8 NEMA 5-15R Outlets Protect Your Connected Components

Four 5-15R outlets provide battery backup, surge protection and voltage regulation for your computer, monitor and other crucial components. The other four 5-15R outlets provide surge suppression only for printers, speakers and other desktop equipment regarded as non-essential during a blackout. A high

95% line mode efficiency rating reduces BTU emissions, energy consumption and, ultimately, your energy costs.

Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) Corrects Low- and High-Voltage Conditions

AVR protects your equipment from incremental hardware damage, data loss and performance problems caused by brownouts and overvoltages. The AVR550U can correct brownouts as low as 89V and overvoltages as high as 145V back to nominal 120V power continuously, all while keeping the battery fully charged and ready to take over in case of power failure.

316 Joules Fight Back Against Unexpected Power Surges

A 316-joule surge suppression rating protects connected components from the harmful effects of power surges.

Highlights

Protects equipment against blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, surges and line noise
Keeps AC power running during blackouts to allow time for file saves and safe shutdown
8 NEMA 5-15R outlets power and protect PC, home theater or digital signage equipment
Home-friendly alarm remains silent in backup mode, sounding only when imperative
High >95% efficiency with low BTU ratings saves electricity and lowers your energy costs

Applications

Protect your PC and other sensitive electronics against power surges, line noise, brownouts, overvoltages and blackouts
Operate essential equipment during short-term power outages using battery backup power
Shut down desktop PCs and other equipment without data loss during long-term power outages
Extend runtime for DVRs, wireless routers and other lowpower home network equipment

Combats Electromagnetic Interference That Can Harm Equipment

Various electromagnetic and radio sources found in virtually every home and business can cause disruptive interference on the AC line. Known as EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference), this line noise is a common cause of performance problems and can lead to incremental hardware damage, data corruption and audio/video transmission problems. The AVR550U incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line noise so that it won’t affect your equipment.

Home-Friendly Alarm and Diagnostic LEDs Keep You Informed 24/7

The UPS remains silent in both line and battery backup modes. The alarm sounds only to report low battery, battery replace, overload and fault condition. Dual front-panel LEDs report line and battery mode operation.

HID-Compliant USB Port Allows for Automatic Saves and Shutdowns

This USB port connects the AVR550U to a computer running Tripp Lite’s free downloadable PowerAlert® software to enable safe unattended file saves and system shutdown in case of a prolonged power failure. USB cable is included.

Compact Housing Compatible with Easy Desktop or Wall-Mount Installation

The space-saving ABS housing fits on a desktop, shelf or anywhere else convenient to your workstation or home theater. Keyhole mounting tabs on the rear allow easy wall-mount installation. The five-foot power cord with NEMA 5-15P plug connects to any compatible AC outlet.
