Every connected SmartHome needs a UPS to help keep your wifi on and available, so that your SmartHome stays, well smart!
At your Desk
Give yourself the time to save documents and gracefully shut down your computer without the harsh impact on your electronics of a sudden power loss.
Wireless Router & IOT Devices
Stay connected via the internet when your power goes out. That wifi signal can still be available if your router is connected to a UPS.
Gaming System
Consoles, Gaming PC's, connected hard-drives and your Twitch stream all stay on when the lights go out.
Television and Cablebox/DVR
Don't lose your DVR recordings when the power flickers. A connected cable/satellite box will continue recording, even when the house is dark.
Q: Can you adjust the alarm settings?
A: Yes, in the PowerChute software, UPS's that are connected to computers can have their sensitivity settings adjusted, as well as specify what hours you want to disable the alarm, if desired. Also, see instructions to set alarm mode via power button.
Q: What is the lifespan of the battery, and does this UPS have a replacement?
A: Under normal use, the battery in the BE600M1 should have a lifespan of 3-5 years. When it's time to refresh the battery, APC offers a replacement battery cartridge (RBC) for the BE600M1 under part # APCRBC154.
Q: How do you turn off the alarm?
A: You can temporarily mute some alarms (On Battery, Battery Disconnected and Overload) with a 1-2 second press of Power button, which mutes alarm until the condition is reset. Critical events (i.e. Battery replacement) require unit to be turned off.
Q: How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?
A: Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices. In the PowerChute Software, you can see 'Estimated Battery Time' based on the power-draw of your connected devices.
Q: Is it Ok to connect another power strip, surge protector or even another UPS into a UPS?
A: Due to the large amount of power used by laser printers, APC does not recommend connecting them to a UPS below 1500VA. If laser printers are connected, it may cause the UPS to transfer to battery repeatedly, exhausting the battery unnecessarily.
