APC’s Back-UPS RS 800

American Power Conversion (APC) expanded its Back-UPS family of
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with the introduction of RS 800 for
business computers. This new machine with USB or serial connectivity offers
advanced Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) protection with up to 45 minutes of
battery backup time for a single PC in the event of a power failure.

Back-UPS RS 800 has a wide voltage window of 175 to 295VAC to ensure
protection against harsh and damaging voltage fluctuations. The AVR Boost and
AVR Trim feature corrects low and high voltage conditions, thereby enabling
uninterrupted work without unnecessary battery drain.

It also features an Internet/DSL/FAX/Modem/Network line surge protection and
five outlets (4 IEC 320-C13 powered outlets and 1 IEC 320-C13 surge only
outlets). To support recent trends of increased USB-integrated peripheral
adoption, Back-UPS RS 800 IN is able to communicate with desktop systems using
USB communication.

The UPS comes with free file-saving auto-shutdown software for Windows
XP/2000/ME/98, Mac OS X and Mac OS 9. The PowerChute Plus Personal Edition
software with sophisticated power management features, allows orderly system
shutdown in the event of an extended power failure. It automatically saves open
files, closes open applications, and gracefully shuts down the operating system
thus protecting the hard disk and data.

The Back-UPS RS 800 has a street price of Rs 6,000, exclusive of taxes and it
comes with a two-year comprehensive

warranty (covering UPS and battery).
