APC Pro 1500 Power-Saving Back-UPS
Give your workstations power protection and runtime during outages.
Product Features
- High-performance protection for your business and office computers.
- Provides battery backup power so you can work through outages.
- 865-W/1500-VA of output power capacity on 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets (five with battery backup/surge protection and five with surge protection only).
Supply both power protection and economical battery backup runtime to your computer systems with this Back-UPS® solution from APC®.
Cold-start capable, the Back-UPS RS 1500 provides temporary battery power when your utility power goes out. This way, you can keep working during blackouts, brownouts, or other power anomalies. The UPS provides a maximum runtime of 2 hours, 37 minutes at the lowest load (50 W). Using 865 W at full load, its maximum runtime is 3 minutes.
A resettable circuit breaker enables easy recovery from overload events—there's no need to replace a fuse. And when utility power returns, the UPS starts up connected equipment automatically.
The BR1500G provides 865 W/1500 VA of output power capacity on its transformer block-spaced outlets. In all, the UPS has 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets with five providing battery backup and surge protection and five providing surge protection only.
Because it has both battery-protected/surge-protected and surge-protected-only outlets, you can reserve power capacity and run time for equipment requiring battery backup while providing surge-only protection for less-critical equipment.
Plus, to reduce the cost of powering devices not in use, the Back-UPS RS 1500 automatically cuts power to idle equipment. This way, you can conserve electricity, reduce your utility bills, and possibly extend the life of expensive equipment. The UPS's master outlet senses when your computer has either been turned off or has gone into sleep mode. When either happens, the UPS shuts power off to peripherals plugged into its controlled outlets.
The Back-UPS RS 1500 also offers extended-range automatic voltage regulation (AVR), which corrects both high- and low-voltage conditions without using the battery, so you have much higher application availability.
And it protects connected equipment, too. The BR1500G features Ethernet network line protection on its 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T RJ-45 data port and coax line protection for CATV and AV devices on its BNC connector.
Audible alarms notify you of changing utility power and UPS conditions, and its LCD status and control console gives you clear, accurate information readout.
Batteries are hot-swappable on the UPS, so you can ensure uninterrupted power to protected equipment while batteries are being replaced. A periodic battery self-test ensures early detection of a battery that needs to be replaced, and audible alarms alert you when a battery is running low.
What's more, the Back-UPS features microprocessor-controlled battery charging, and diagnostic testing ensures maximum battery life.
Manage the BR1500G from a workstation connected to its data port (a USB cable and PowerChute® Personal Edition management software CD are included).
