00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:13.759
all right so you guys have been raging at me about all the networking especially Powerline networking topics

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.439
that we've been doing so we're taking a break and we're going to be doing a

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:24.439
fiesta of uninterruptible power supplies so today we have an APC unit APC is one

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.080
of the better known brands for upses are uninterruptible power supplies they've

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.160
got a lot of information on their box here so we're going to go ahead and

00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:38.200
break the seals and then see what APC has to say about themselves for this

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:41.160
particular power saving battery backup

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:45.719
here we go so first of all it is 1,000 volt amp so that is up to 600 watts of

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:49.440
power that can be driven off of the battery of this unit with up to 121

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.359
minutes of runtime I guarantee you that is not with 600 watts but that is more

00:00:51.199 --> 00:00:57.600
of a maximum eight Outlets with a three-year warranty as well as AVR

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:02.640
technology this prevents damage and loss of computers and peripherals internet

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:06.880
modems and wireless routers okay sure why not photo music and video libraries

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:11.720
yeah if you you know plug in your um your video library Appliance to it

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:17.119
external storage uh you can also save up to $45 see the back panel for details

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:23.200
interesting annual Energy savings okay how much run time aha here we go uh so

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:28.600
18 minutes with a graphics workstation approximately 240 WTS you know PC LCD

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.600
monitor speakers Etc I would say that's pretty conservative I I can can

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:36.360
definitely build a computer that can uh suck more than 240 Watts from it but

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:40.840
we'll we'll get to that when we do look at that though 40 Watts 40 watts is

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:46.320
their 121 minute quote interesting what do we got back

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:51.560
here oh wow best-in-class APC Peace of Mind covers your entire back ups for

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:55.680
three years and offers $150,000 lifetime equipment protection policy cool gigabit

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.240
Ethernet and coax surge protection good to have four battery backup Outlets with

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.240
surge protection as well as I guess four that do not have battery backup yep okay

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:09.920
cold start capability allows you to power up the unit for temporary emergency battery power when utility

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:14.440
power is already out cool automatic diagnostic testing okay ensures that

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:17.319
your back UPS is ready when you need it push button circuit breaker yep

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.440
efficient charging system recharges your back UPS in8 hours and ensures your

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.840
critical equipment remains available when the power goes out cool easy to

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.760
read LCD powerwoot personal Edition O

00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:32.080
software to help you automatically shut down if the power turns out so you don't

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:35.440
you know lose your work or whatever else building wiring F indicator for surge

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:38.879
protection only Outlets automatic voltage regulation corrects incoming

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.239
utility power without utilizing the battery very good that can help make

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:48.400
your equipment um last longer and it's true

00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:51.680
because even if you have pretty good power in your house or building or

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:56.400
wherever you happen to be got some included accessories here including a

00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:00.159
coax cable of all things um even if you have pretty good power

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.799
there is still a chance that the slight fluctuations that happen on a daily

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:12.519
basis or even an hourly basis can overtime cause damage to your computer

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:18.239
or monitor or whatever else that you have plugged directly into the wall look

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:22.959
at that huh cool check this out comes with a little QA test receipt thing

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:27.400
showing that it passed all of the various tests set battery constants

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.920
input output phase angle capactive load verification cool overall pass it's

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:39.239
actually signed by some guy whose name is apparently V all right stop halt

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.879
something connect battery oh okay so if

00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:47.080
you don't connect the battery that's that's bad so uh okay how to

00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:57.239
do okay so the battery is we have to

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:57.239
pull off some kind of hold on a

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:03.000
minute why don't you guys give me a moment

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:07.159
yeah so um the reason I couldn't find anything that slid or moved was because

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:11.439
the sticker was obviously covering it the sticker doesn't come off very

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.760
cleanly which is a minor complaint but

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:17.320
you know you unbox a lot of Hardware you

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:21.919
develop a lot of minor complaints uh so basically this part just comes off yeah

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.800
whatever it comes off and then what you do to connect the battery is lift and

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:25.800
pull the

00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:33.720
tabs then flip it over

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:38.039
man it's heavy lead battery there we go

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:41.880
and

00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:49.639
sweet there we are okay so let's have a look at the unit itself for optimal

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.320
power saving settings and recommended outlet configuration see the manual okay

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:56.639
good to know and then other than that we've got a speaker button on the front

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:04.039
so I'm guessing that's to silence the alarm power as well as um like a menu

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:04.039
looking sort of button on the back we

00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:11.800
find Ethernet cable USB and Cal oh okay

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:14.120
I guess it comes with like an adapter or

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:20.319
something yep neat building wiring fault

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.720
as well as surge protection only and battery backup as well as circuit

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.919
breaker push to reset so I'm guessing this is controlled by software in here

00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.360
so that's kind of neat and then you got like a nice beefy cord coming off of it

00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:37.360
so thank you for checking out my unboxing of and I never actually said

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:41.319
the model of this thing did I terrible

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:43.280
this is the APC back UPS Pro 1000 and

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:49.240
