CyberPower CP850PFCLCD UPS 850VA 510W PFC compatible Pure sine wave (CP850PFCLCD)

Returning item. It just died after a week. I am re-ordering another to give it one more chance.

The CyberPower PFC is a compact UPS that contains a great set of features. Several great energy saving utilities built in and the largest benefit is the fact that it draws power and provides power a bit differently than a normal UPS. It is uses a bypass mode that, when fully charged, will just pass the power through itself to all the devices. This saves a lot of power and helps to lower costs/energy consumption. It also contains an AVR which will provide a constant voltage to all the attached devices. It contains 10 power outlets 5 of which are power outage safe, the other 5 aren t. Other ports include coax connectors for antenna/cable, serial ports, usb and ethernet/phone line. The included software will trigger your computer to turn off when the battery backup is below 20% threshold which is a great feature so you don t lose all your work or important files within your memory. The display is greatly informative and shows a lot of details about the UPS. The most useful outputs are the battery charge, the load on the UPS and the estimated time until the battery shuts down. Another useful feature is the ability to set the sensitivity at which the UPS turns off/on, if you re scared about power failures turn it all the way up and even a tiny power blip will turn it on. The UPS is also able to self-test the battery and you can replace it yourself in a few easy steps.

This unit seems to work great. I haven t been able to put a substantial load on it yet, but with two laptops sucking juice off of it, they barely even make a dent in the load meter. In complete power loss, it jumps smoothly onto about an hour of battery power. The front panel display is bright and easy to use. The unit itself is sleek and low profile so at least it s not an eyesore in the room. There are a large number of connections on the back for various devices, but I do wish the layout gave a little more access for large transformer plugs. Most of my PC equipment has small plugs so it s not a big issue. This is a Social Writeup

Last thing you need to happen while recording/mixing is a power outage. Best way to insure that doesn t happen to you in your studio is this CP 850 by CyberPower. I m running my iMac 2.8ghz directly from this unit with multiple USB device s running off the mac. This particular model I have can supply up to 510 watts for an 8 hour period. It also comes with a warranty. This is a social writeup.
