00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:15.160
welcome to my unboxing in first look at a line interactive UPS from opt UPS so

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

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.560
their durable series which um was loud

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:30.039
but beastly more for industrial use as well as one of their more consumer ones

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:34.640
this guy right here is a higher end consumer level units so it has some of

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.960
the features that you'd expect from a premium UPS like being line interactive

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

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:45.440
industrial cooling fan going on or uh

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:49.719
you know other things that would make it not really appropriate for home or

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

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

00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:04.839
the box here this is is the 1025 P which

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:08.520
means it's good for up to 615 Watts line interactive what does that mean line

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:13.920
interactive means that if you have crappy power going into the UPS even

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:19.799
when it's not running off of battery it will be adjusting and fixing the input

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:24.000
voltage for you so that your computer or whatever other devices you have hooked

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:28.600
up to it are never going to see ugly dirty power that can over the longterm

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.520
or even the short term damage your components and cause instability line

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:37.280
interactive is a must if you have a high-end system and you want to take

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

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:47.040
wave or pure sine wave or whatever else the case may be however that doesn't

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.119
necessarily mean that every active power factor correction power supply is going

00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:54.320
to just turn off we actually did a fair amount of testing on this with a

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.719
simulated sine wave UPS in the past versus a pierine wave ups and we

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

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:07.759
one of the competitors who shall remain nameless um was less compatible with

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:12.040
active PFC power supplies than the simulated one so it's not as cut and

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

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:22.120
mind okay read reviews would probably be the best thing the best advice I can

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:23.680
give rated out Vol rated output R input

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:29.400
voltage range the rated voltage plus or minus 25% so if your power is like super

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

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:38.680
that for you no problem okay output voltage regulation plus or minus 5% on

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

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.319
milliseconds start on battery yes Auto restart yes it does communicate with

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

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

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.920
down there and uh shut down properly buddy or uh you know bad things are

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:04.680
going to happen and that's basically what it says but like in

00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:04.680
binary um

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:13.760
AVR up to the for battery backup to bypass Outlets okay UPS shuts down at

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:18.400
110% load for 60 seconds or 100 okay overload protection fuse circuit break

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.319
so overload protection basically 615

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:28.319
watts is good enough for your okay remember guys if your computer

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:30.760
consumes 500 watts that means this guy

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:36.200
has to Output about 600 watts to sustain it because of the inefficiency again at

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:38.720
the power supply level so basically this

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

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.680
not for like SLI or triple SLI configurations or anything like that

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

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:57.720
peripherals plugged into your board so bear in mind this is for like you know

00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:59.400
your basic gaming system and not much

00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:04.200
else they do have much higher end units including from this series they have one

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

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

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

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

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:28.320
useful information including the battery level as well as what mode the UPS is

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.120
running in or in what mode the UPS is

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:34.160
running I should be making an effort to speak correctly on this channel since

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.800
you know maybe I'll start Linus like English language tips at some point on

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:43.800
the back you got your input you have four battery backup and surge protected

00:04:40.919 --> 00:04:48.000
and actively you know taken care of outputs and then two simple passrs just

00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:52.639
surge protection no battery backup you've also got Ethernet protection or

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:56.039
you can actually plug in rj11 which be would be your phone line so you can

00:04:53.960 --> 00:05:01.639
protect those as well and there's your USB interface whoops I turned it on

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:06.880
ventilation is handled by vents in the side no active cooling on this guy so

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

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.919
some pretty high powerered stuff going

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

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:24.360
blatantly looking at my cheat sheet while slick pretends it's not happening

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:26.680
by looking somewhere else

00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:31.800
uh yeah I think we pretty much covered everything uh oh yeah except the

00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:33.479
included phone cable and USB cable and

00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:40.720
Sentinel software which you can download the latest on the opt UPS website and I

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:42.880
think that pretty much it thank you for

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.639
checking out my unboxing and first look and don't forget to subscribe to lus

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

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

00:05:53.919 --> 00:05:59.360
optional there's a couple little things here you might want to know battery mode

00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:02.840
will sound every 10 seconds low battery will sound sound every second and

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:06.440
overload will sound every .5 seconds so you can tell what the alarm means just

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:13.199
by listening to it if you guys have seen the Faulty Towers episode then just

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.199
remember it's a semitone higher
