00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:15,160
welcome to my unboxing in first look at a line interactive UPS from opt UPS so

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:21,960
we've had a look at a couple UPS's from them including the beastly one from

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:24,560
their durable series which um was loud

4
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:30,039
but beastly more for industrial use as well as one of their more consumer ones

5
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:34,640
this guy right here is a higher end consumer level units so it has some of

6
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,960
the features that you'd expect from a premium UPS like being line interactive

7
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:43,680
and I'll explain what that is in a moment but it doesn't have like an

8
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:45,440
industrial cooling fan going on or uh

9
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,719
you know other things that would make it not really appropriate for home or

10
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:56,399
office use it's also quite a bit smaller and less heavy than that Uber one that

11
00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:01,960
we were dealing with before so let's see what OPI has to say for themselves on

12
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:04,839
the box here this is is the 1025 P which

13
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:08,520
means it's good for up to 615 Watts line interactive what does that mean line

14
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:13,920
interactive means that if you have crappy power going into the UPS even

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:19,799
when it's not running off of battery it will be adjusting and fixing the input

16
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:24,000
voltage for you so that your computer or whatever other devices you have hooked

17
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,600
up to it are never going to see ugly dirty power that can over the longterm

18
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,520
or even the short term damage your components and cause instability line

19
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,280
interactive is a must if you have a high-end system and you want to take

20
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:43,240
care of it this one right here simulated sine wave so yes it is not true sine

21
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,040
wave or pure sine wave or whatever else the case may be however that doesn't

22
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,119
necessarily mean that every active power factor correction power supply is going

23
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,320
to just turn off we actually did a fair amount of testing on this with a

24
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,719
simulated sine wave UPS in the past versus a pierine wave ups and we

25
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,759
actually found that the perer sine wave UPS we had which is from op to UPS but

26
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,759
one of the competitors who shall remain nameless um was less compatible with

27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:12,040
active PFC power supplies than the simulated one so it's not as cut and

28
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:16,840
dried as simulated sine wave is bad and pure sine wave is good so bear that in

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,120
mind okay read reviews would probably be the best thing the best advice I can

30
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,680
give rated out Vol rated output R input

31
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:29,400
voltage range the rated voltage plus or minus 25% so if your power is like super

32
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,840
dirty and it's like 100 volts or 140 volts input it'll still be able to fix

33
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,680
that for you no problem okay output voltage regulation plus or minus 5% on

34
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:42,640
battery that's just fine I mean batter's uh battery's tough transfer time is 4

35
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,319
milliseconds start on battery yes Auto restart yes it does communicate with

36
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,519
your computer so you can use USB in order to there we go to get it to tell

37
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,560
your computer hey you know there's no power you're going to want to shut that

38
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,920
down there and uh shut down properly buddy or uh you know bad things are

39
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:04,680
going to happen and that's basically what it says but like in

40
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,680
binary um

41
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:13,760
AVR up to the for battery backup to bypass Outlets okay UPS shuts down at

42
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,400
110% load for 60 seconds or 100 okay overload protection fuse circuit break

43
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,319
so overload protection basically 615

44
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:28,319
watts is good enough for your okay remember guys if your computer

45
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:30,760
consumes 500 watts that means this guy

46
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:36,200
has to Output about 600 watts to sustain it because of the inefficiency again at

47
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,720
the power supply level so basically this

48
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:44,519
is good for your single Tower with one high-end CPU one high-end GPU this is

49
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,680
not for like SLI or triple SLI configurations or anything like that

50
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,519
especially if you're planning to have something like your monitor connected to it as well and you got like a lot of

51
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:57,720
peripherals plugged into your board so bear in mind this is for like you know

52
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,400
your basic gaming system and not much

53
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:04,200
else they do have much higher end units including from this series they have one

54
00:04:01,799 --> 00:04:08,439
that can do up to 900 watts that guy you can do an SLI system no problem and then

55
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:14,159
you know probably your monitor as well and I wouldn't worry too much about it so uh it's heavy you know lead batteries

56
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:18,880
are heavy and uh that's pretty typical of a UPS you've also got an LED readout

57
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:22,600
on this one which on that lower end unit we didn't see so this gives you a lot of

58
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:28,320
useful information including the battery level as well as what mode the UPS is

59
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,120
running in or in what mode the UPS is

60
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,160
running I should be making an effort to speak correctly on this channel since

61
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:38,800
you know maybe I'll start Linus like English language tips at some point on

62
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,800
the back you got your input you have four battery backup and surge protected

63
00:04:40,919 --> 00:04:48,000
and actively you know taken care of outputs and then two simple passrs just

64
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:52,639
surge protection no battery backup you've also got Ethernet protection or

65
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,039
you can actually plug in rj11 which be would be your phone line so you can

66
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:01,639
protect those as well and there's your USB interface whoops I turned it on

67
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:06,880
ventilation is handled by vents in the side no active cooling on this guy so

68
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,919
it's going to be pretty much silent you might get a slight Buzz because there's

69
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,919
some pretty high powerered stuff going

70
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,520
on inside of UPS's and I'm just going to check my notes really quick here just

71
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:24,360
blatantly looking at my cheat sheet while slick pretends it's not happening

72
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,680
by looking somewhere else

73
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:31,800
uh yeah I think we pretty much covered everything uh oh yeah except the

74
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:33,479
included phone cable and USB cable and

75
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Sentinel software which you can download the latest on the opt UPS website and I

76
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:42,880
think that pretty much it thank you for

77
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,639
checking out my unboxing and first look and don't forget to subscribe to lus

78
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:50,759
Tech tips from unboxing reviews and other computer videos and don't forget if you have a computer you care about

79
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,400
you pretty much should be running it off of a UPS it's um not actually that

80
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:59,360
optional there's a couple little things here you might want to know battery mode

81
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:02,840
will sound every 10 seconds low battery will sound sound every second and

82
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,440
overload will sound every .5 seconds so you can tell what the alarm means just

83
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:13,199
by listening to it if you guys have seen the Faulty Towers episode then just

84
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:13,199
remember it's a semitone higher
