1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,740
what's heavy and every gamer needs one

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:12,660
but nobody wants to spend money on it

3
00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:15,599
ow a UPS this is the gaming ups and you

4
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:21,060
laugh but whether it's a workstation or whether it's a gaming PC you should

5
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:22,680
probably have a UPS and eat sponsored

6
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:28,500
this video where we're going to be taking a look at what is to my knowledge

7
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:30,599
the first ever gaming uninterruptible

8
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:35,160
power supply now this is not to be confused with the power supply unit or

9
00:00:32,940 --> 00:00:41,640
PSU that you're gaming PC already has that thing

10
00:00:38,219 --> 00:00:43,800
converts AC power to DC power to ensure

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,840
that all your sensitive Electronics can operate correctly what this does is

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:55,079
entirely different and its main functions are twofold one whoa is that

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:01,739
it actually cleans up any potentially dirty power that is coming into your PSU

14
00:00:58,020 --> 00:01:04,619
so say for example the voltage in your

15
00:01:01,739 --> 00:01:09,960
house is lower than spec or you have other noisy or high draw devices that

16
00:01:07,619 --> 00:01:13,799
are being turned on and turned off like air conditioners or blenders or vacuum

17
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:18,000
cleaners this will ensure that whatever's coming in will get tidied up

18
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:22,619
and smoothed out before going out to your presumably expensive PC and one of

19
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:28,500
the main features of this particular unit aside from the

20
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:30,360
removable display for gamers Wireless

21
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:34,560
okay we're definitely taking a look at that later one of the main features of

22
00:01:31,979 --> 00:01:38,100
this one is that it is a pure sine wave unit that means it tends to be more

23
00:01:35,939 --> 00:01:42,780
reliable and efficient and transition more seamlessly between Mains power and

24
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:49,140
battery power because that's the second main feature of a UPS it allows you to

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:54,840
actually continue to run even a high-powered gaming PC like this one in

26
00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:59,820
the event of a power outage not for a long time mind you Eaton rates this one

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:05,939
at about 17 minutes of operation under 300 watts of load and up to 50 minutes

28
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:10,020
of operation under 250 watts of load with their optional extended battery

29
00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:13,800
pack so that's plenty of time to get to the next checkpoint or wrap up a

30
00:02:11,819 --> 00:02:17,940
document you're working on and save and shut down properly of course that

31
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:22,379
doesn't mean you're actually limited to just 250 or 300 watts of load oh

32
00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:27,300
actually I shouldn't put this down here yet oh this

33
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:32,160
is a 1500 volt amp unit which means it can do a total of about 900 watts

34
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:37,500
protected but not all of these Outlets are the same this right here is the

35
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:42,300
master ups and surge Outlet this is the one we're going to plug our computer

36
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,940
into all of these are controlled by the

37
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:49,440
master so UPS means that it is uninterruptible it is battery backed up

38
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,680
and surge protection means that just in the event of ugly dirty power coming in

39
00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:57,300
it's not going to be passed through to your sensitive Electronics so these guys

40
00:02:54,420 --> 00:03:02,840
right here are surge only all of these are both Surge and Battery backed up but

41
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:08,280
what's really cool is that the master controls all of these secondary units so

42
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:12,540
when the load on the master goes under 20 watts all of these will actually turn

43
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:17,159
off it's a cool way to put your workstation to sleep and then have all

44
00:03:14,819 --> 00:03:21,659
of your lights and attach peripherals just switch off instead of being

45
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,800
annoying vampire loads that are sucking away your power it'll also do surge

46
00:03:23,459 --> 00:03:30,180
protection on your rj11 or j45 connection so for your Lan connection

47
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:34,140
for your gaming PC for example but none of this inherently makes this gaming

48
00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:39,900
let's talk about what it does I guess you could argue that USB type A

49
00:03:37,739 --> 00:03:45,799
or USB type-c charging port on the front is kind of gaming but lots of non-gamers

50
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:52,260
charge phones too so what really makes it gaming is the RGB

51
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:56,159
whoa you can see our voltage is a little low

52
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,720
here in our office we do know that we have kind of ugly power here but now

53
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,440
we've confirmed it 124 minutes of run time if all we're powering is this

54
00:04:02,459 --> 00:04:08,640
display that makes sense it uses lead acid batteries that's why it's so heavy

55
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:13,980
and that's also why it takes about seven hours to charge from 10 to 90 percent

56
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:18,180
and uh it's got some other cool features so let's say you're not actually there

57
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:23,100
trip light by Eaton has a software utility that will if you connect to your

58
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,600
PC via USB which you can see I'm about to do ah there you go notify your

59
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:31,500
computer of a power outage and then automatically shut it down once the

60
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,520
battery reaches a critical level so that way if you're on vacation or something

61
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:39,780
you're let's say you hooked it up to a server instead of a gaming PC it can

62
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:43,620
automatically shut it down safely and ensure that no data gets corrupted or

63
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:49,080
anything like that this is cool apparently the RGB is configured out of

64
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:51,620
the box to change color depending on

65
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:59,160
your load hey there we go oh now she's kicked in

66
00:04:55,740 --> 00:05:02,100
this thing draws 153 Watts just on boot

67
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,919
up wait I'm sitting here like an idiot I was trying to figure out like oh man why

68
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:10,199
would anyone really need like a detachable screen for their ups

69
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:14,040
so they're not crouched over their UPS trying to figure out what's going on

70
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:18,660
with their computer like a ah 20 hours of battery life and

71
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:24,660
apparently it works up to what do they say like 12 feet away or something like that gaming UPS Brandon I've officially

72
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:28,680
seen it all oh that reminds me ShortCircuit has a new hoodie there's this

73
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:34,979
ShortCircuit hoodie on LTT Store but there's also the new color block hoodie

74
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:39,539
in ShortCircuit colorway sick right

75
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:42,060
this is so extra it's definitely the

76
00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:47,280
right word this is very extra and if you want this feature Eaton is the only one

77
00:05:44,580 --> 00:05:53,340
on the market who can provide it no one else has a detachable display for their

78
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:56,280
gaming UPS not a one there's our banana

79
00:05:53,340 --> 00:06:02,820
for scale there okay so we're sucking back wow 260 Watts right now just

80
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:09,120
sitting at the desktop man our input voltage is low here yeah it's like 105

81
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:11,400
volts what is that to be clear when I'm

82
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,580
complaining about our low voltage I'm talking about from the Transformers here

83
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,139
in our building what you have to create a Bethesda account now why gaming I'm

84
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,060
just not gonna play this game anymore there easy cyberpunk continue without a

85
00:06:21,539 --> 00:06:28,800
cam look at that this is a freaking spicy computer I forgot what kind of

86
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:33,600
specs we had on this thing I don't even have the monitor hooked up to this yet

87
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,639
the fan is definitely audible but the

88
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,180
UPS Works hardest when it's charging the battery or running off of battery so

89
00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:43,199
what I suspect is that once the battery is charged it should quiet down

90
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:48,720
now what I want to know is even with just 44 battery life left

91
00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:52,319
is it going to manage to sustain this what

92
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,120
the answer is yes but I have no idea for how long because my display is over here

93
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:03,240
input 0 volts ac yeah zero Hertz that makes sense and oh oh oh that remaining

94
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,080
battery percentage it's going down pretty quick oh we got one minute of one

95
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:10,440
time that makes sense uh we should probably plug it back in yeah yeah I'm

96
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:15,419
working on it there we go so that's the idea you have

97
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:19,620
a brown out or even a short power outage your gaming session is completely

98
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,560
uninterrupted or whatever else it is that you happen to be doing while we're

99
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:29,580
waiting for Eaton's power alert software to install we're going to go ahead and hook up our extended battery this guy

100
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:34,740
right here uh uses the same chassis but you can see there's like no fan there

101
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:37,979
there's no Outlets nothing like that

102
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:40,860
thanks all you need to do is take off

103
00:07:37,979 --> 00:07:45,720
this external battery plate I think

104
00:07:43,139 --> 00:07:49,860
I actually don't know I'm I am literally guessing right now

105
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:55,440
plug in this there you go and then it just goes next

106
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:59,460
to your primary unit there's no external display on the extra battery unit this

107
00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:03,479
is just a dummy our power alert system tray is set up so now we just go to the

108
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:07,819
web interface all right scan for devices here we go Discovery completed

109
00:08:08,699 --> 00:08:14,060
um oh I'm not sure if I plugged it in all the way actually

110
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,199
uh

111
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:24,840
well yeah it shut down safely let us find out

112
00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:30,120
why wait it was only asleep my game is even

113
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,080
still running okay hold on one or more devices our initial

114
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:39,599
I'm sure there's a user's guide somewhere that explains what's happening but

115
00:08:37,740 --> 00:08:47,060
I didn't read it this is really a 90 page document

116
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:50,399
can tell Eaton's pedigree is Enterprise

117
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:52,740
which is a good thing

118
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:56,640
ah here we go shut down my system when the amount of

119
00:08:54,899 --> 00:09:01,740
battery power remaining Falls below let's say

120
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,779
20 right

121
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:08,760
apply let's go ahead and pull the power and see if it shuts down gracefully

122
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:13,260
ready and boom

123
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,260
ah where'd the thing go yeah

124
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:20,640
okay oh okay yes
