Computer users fall into two groups: those who have lost data due
to power problems and those who are going to. The more you use your computer, the sooner
you’ll have to pay for that loss. Power problems wreak havoc on today’s
multitasking networked or stand-alone PCs. The more you do with your PC, the more you
stand to lose.
According to a study by IBM, your system is subject to an average
of 128 power disturbances per month; these range from surges and spikes, which can cause
hardware damage, to sags, brownouts, and complete blackouts, which can cause data loss. In
fact 48.5% of all instances of data loss is attributed to power events.
The effects of power problems include keyboard lockup, complete
data loss, hardware degradation, damaged motherboards, and more, making downtime
inevitable. An APC Back-UPS instantly switches your computer to emergency battery backup
power and allows you to work through brief power outages without data loss or downtime.
APC UPS units also give you the time to save files and shut down your computer safely in
the event of an extended power failure. High-performance surge suppression protects your
computer from electrical noise and damaging power surges - even lightning.
Value Power Protection for Network Clients and Home Systems
APC Back-UPS 200 and APC Back-UPS 300 are the most reliable and
cost-effective way to increase your system’s lifespan and productivity. You get
plenty of runtime to ride through momentary outages or to shut down your system in the
event of an extended outage. You’ll get outlets for your computer and monitor and a
compact design to conserve valuable work space. One switch controls power to all connected
equipment, for easy system control.
Complete System Protection for Network Clients and Home
Systems
If you need more runtime and more advanced features, try the more
powerful APC Back-UPS 500 or APC Back-UPS 650. Both models come with a FREE mail-in offer
for PowerChute plus, APC’s award-winning data-saving, automatic system shutdown
software. They also include Multipath protection: enough outlets to protect your entire
system, plus fax/modem line protection to stop surges on datalines.
Multiple Workstation Protection
If you want to protect more than one workstation or PC with a
single UPS, APC Back-UPS Pro 1000 or APC Back-UPS Pro 1400 will meet your needs. Six
battery power outlets let you protect up to three workstations or PCs.
Windows NT and Windows 95 Performance System Protection
High-performance Windows 95 and Windows NT computer systems create,
store and transmit data at ever-increasing rates. With this increase in speed comes a
parallel increase in the value of both hardware and data. Cutting edge technology demands
the highest level of protection. APC’s innovative CellGuard™ intelligent battery
management, PowerChute plus advanced power management software, and Automatic Voltage
Regulation, make APC Back-UPS Pro the ideal choice for performance workstations or PCs.

“Best-In-Class” Longest Runtime and Guaranteed
Lightning Protection
Although many measurements are used to determine UPS power and
output, the best and clearest way to size a UPS is with runtime. Runtime measures how long
a UPS provides power during an outage. If you don’t have enough power, your computer
will crash before safe shutdown, and crashes mean lost data. If you don’t pay close
attention to runtime when choosing a UPS, you won’t know you’re vulnerable until
it’s too late. The only way to eliminate the worry without doing hours of homework is
to depend on APC’s “Best in Class” Longest Runtime guarantee. APC also
guarantees your equipment will be safe from all power surges, including lightning. This
premium protection starts as soon as you plug in your UPS. It tells you immediately if the
outlet is properly wired and gives you the peace of mind of knowing that even if your
equipment suffers a direct lightning strike, you’re covered. APC provides $25,000 in
equipment protection insurance for life (see policy for details).
“Must Have” Safety and Reliability Features
In order for a UPS to give you the peace of mind and security you
need, it must provide certain fundamental features. Without these the performance of your
connected equipment could be seriously compromised. If you depend on your computer,
don’t go without the following:
Site Wiring Fault Indicator
Your unit must be able to tell you if it is going to provide the protection you need based
on existing building wiring. That’s why every APC Back-UPS includes a Site Wiring
Fault Indicator which automatically and immediately warns you of wiring problems like
improper grounds that could cause shocks or prevent the UPS from adequately suppressing
surges.
Easy Overload Recovery
UPS units are by definition designed to take punishment. Like your fuse box at home, all
APC Back-UPS have a quick, easy pushbutton recovery circuit breaker instead of a standard
fuse, so there is no need to return the unit to the factory for service! Whether
you’re hit by an overload or a short circuit, with APC you’re quickly back in
business.
Audible Alarms
Your UPS must actively let you know whenever there’s a problem. Because a UPS
won’t run forever on battery power, you need to know when to save files and shut
down. If the unit is on battery, or if the battery is low, or even if there is an overload
condition, APC Back-UPS will let you know with an audible alarm. If a UPS doesn’t
tell you what it’s doing, you may as well not have a UPS at all.
“On Battery” Alarm
An intermittent Alarm signals when connected equipment is running on battery power,
alerting you to save data and close valuable files.
“Low Battery” Alarm
A continuous tone alarm signals low battery, reminding you to save data prior to impending
shutdown.
Overload Alarm
An overloaded UPS may not provide adequate runtime for you to save your files and data in
the event of a power failure. This feature allows you to correct the overload to ensure
you receive the runtime you need.
User-renewable UPS System
Your UPS must be renewable. With normal use, a UPS battery will last three to six years.
At the end of the battery’s life, the APC Back-UPS renewable UPS system eliminates
the need for factory service and loss of protection by letting you replace batteries for a
fraction of the cost of a whole new UPS. Battery Replacement Cartridges (available at
www.apcc.com or see your local dealer/distributor) provide eco-friendly recycling of your
battery, meet all state and federal regulations for battery disposal and provide a
postage-paid container for you to ship the used battery to APC. For more information,
visit APC’s Web site at www.apcc.com or call 800-800-4APC.
Additional Safety and Reliability Features
Multipath Protection
APC Back-UPS has enough outlets to protect your entire computer system. With dedicated
outlets for computer, monitor and all peripherals such as laser printers, Zip drives,
scanners, fax machines, and with fax/modem protection, everything is safe from the threat
of bad power. Surge-only outlets are always on for convenience. BlockSafe™ cord
extensions accommodate even the largest transformer blocks without covering other outlets.
Eliminate the threat of power problems by plugging your entire system into APC Back-UPS.

UPS Diagnostic Test/Alarm Disable Button
With the touch of a button, APC Back-UPS performs diagnostic testing to ensure all
internal components, including battery, are operating at peak levels. If a fault is found,
APC Back-UPS alerts you with an audible alarm. Because you control when this testing is
performed, you are always sure your APC Back-UPS is ready to protect you. (APC Back-UPS
