00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.740
what's heavy and every gamer needs one

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:12.660
but nobody wants to spend money on it

00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:15.599
ow a UPS this is the gaming ups and you

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:21.060
laugh but whether it's a workstation or whether it's a gaming PC you should

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:22.680
probably have a UPS and eat sponsored

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

00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:30.599
the first ever gaming uninterruptible

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:35.160
power supply now this is not to be confused with the power supply unit or

00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:41.640
PSU that you're gaming PC already has that thing

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:43.800
converts AC power to DC power to ensure

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:48.840
that all your sensitive Electronics can operate correctly what this does is

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:55.079
entirely different and its main functions are twofold one whoa is that

00:00:52.800 --> 00:01:01.739
it actually cleans up any potentially dirty power that is coming into your PSU

00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:04.619
so say for example the voltage in your

00:01:01.739 --> 00:01:09.960
house is lower than spec or you have other noisy or high draw devices that

00:01:07.619 --> 00:01:13.799
are being turned on and turned off like air conditioners or blenders or vacuum

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:18.000
cleaners this will ensure that whatever's coming in will get tidied up

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:22.619
and smoothed out before going out to your presumably expensive PC and one of

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:28.500
the main features of this particular unit aside from the

00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:30.360
removable display for gamers Wireless

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:34.560
okay we're definitely taking a look at that later one of the main features of

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

00:01:35.939 --> 00:01:42.780
reliable and efficient and transition more seamlessly between Mains power and

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:49.140
battery power because that's the second main feature of a UPS it allows you to

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:54.840
actually continue to run even a high-powered gaming PC like this one in

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

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:05.939
at about 17 minutes of operation under 300 watts of load and up to 50 minutes

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:10.020
of operation under 250 watts of load with their optional extended battery

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

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:17.940
document you're working on and save and shut down properly of course that

00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:22.379
doesn't mean you're actually limited to just 250 or 300 watts of load oh

00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:27.300
actually I shouldn't put this down here yet oh this

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

00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:37.500
protected but not all of these Outlets are the same this right here is the

00:02:34.920 --> 00:02:42.300
master ups and surge Outlet this is the one we're going to plug our computer

00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:44.940
into all of these are controlled by the

00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:49.440
master so UPS means that it is uninterruptible it is battery backed up

00:02:47.160 --> 00:02:52.680
and surge protection means that just in the event of ugly dirty power coming in

00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:57.300
it's not going to be passed through to your sensitive Electronics so these guys

00:02:54.420 --> 00:03:02.840
right here are surge only all of these are both Surge and Battery backed up but

00:03:00.420 --> 00:03:08.280
what's really cool is that the master controls all of these secondary units so

00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:12.540
when the load on the master goes under 20 watts all of these will actually turn

00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:17.159
off it's a cool way to put your workstation to sleep and then have all

00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:21.659
of your lights and attach peripherals just switch off instead of being

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:25.800
annoying vampire loads that are sucking away your power it'll also do surge

00:03:23.459 --> 00:03:30.180
protection on your rj11 or j45 connection so for your Lan connection

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:34.140
for your gaming PC for example but none of this inherently makes this gaming

00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:39.900
let's talk about what it does I guess you could argue that USB type A

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

00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:52.260
charge phones too so what really makes it gaming is the RGB

00:03:50.700 --> 00:03:56.159
whoa you can see our voltage is a little low

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

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.440
we've confirmed it 124 minutes of run time if all we're powering is this

00:04:02.459 --> 00:04:08.640
display that makes sense it uses lead acid batteries that's why it's so heavy

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

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

00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:23.100
trip light by Eaton has a software utility that will if you connect to your

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

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:31.500
computer of a power outage and then automatically shut it down once the

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:35.520
battery reaches a critical level so that way if you're on vacation or something

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

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.620
automatically shut it down safely and ensure that no data gets corrupted or

00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:49.080
anything like that this is cool apparently the RGB is configured out of

00:04:46.020 --> 00:04:51.620
the box to change color depending on

00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:59.160
your load hey there we go oh now she's kicked in

00:04:55.740 --> 00:05:02.100
this thing draws 153 Watts just on boot

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

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:10.199
would anyone really need like a detachable screen for their ups

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:14.040
so they're not crouched over their UPS trying to figure out what's going on

00:05:11.340 --> 00:05:18.660
with their computer like a ah 20 hours of battery life and

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

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:28.680
seen it all oh that reminds me ShortCircuit has a new hoodie there's this

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:34.979
ShortCircuit hoodie on LTT Store but there's also the new color block hoodie

00:05:32.280 --> 00:05:39.539
in ShortCircuit colorway sick right

00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:42.060
this is so extra it's definitely the

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

00:05:44.580 --> 00:05:53.340
on the market who can provide it no one else has a detachable display for their

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.280
gaming UPS not a one there's our banana

00:05:53.340 --> 00:06:02.820
for scale there okay so we're sucking back wow 260 Watts right now just

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:09.120
sitting at the desktop man our input voltage is low here yeah it's like 105

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.400
volts what is that to be clear when I'm

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:14.580
complaining about our low voltage I'm talking about from the Transformers here

00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:19.139
in our building what you have to create a Bethesda account now why gaming I'm

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.060
just not gonna play this game anymore there easy cyberpunk continue without a

00:06:21.539 --> 00:06:28.800
cam look at that this is a freaking spicy computer I forgot what kind of

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

00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.639
the fan is definitely audible but the

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:39.180
UPS Works hardest when it's charging the battery or running off of battery so

00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:43.199
what I suspect is that once the battery is charged it should quiet down

00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:48.720
now what I want to know is even with just 44 battery life left

00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:52.319
is it going to manage to sustain this what

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

00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:03.240
input 0 volts ac yeah zero Hertz that makes sense and oh oh oh that remaining

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:07.080
battery percentage it's going down pretty quick oh we got one minute of one

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.440
time that makes sense uh we should probably plug it back in yeah yeah I'm

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:15.419
working on it there we go so that's the idea you have

00:07:13.020 --> 00:07:19.620
a brown out or even a short power outage your gaming session is completely

00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:22.560
uninterrupted or whatever else it is that you happen to be doing while we're

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

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

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:37.979
there's no Outlets nothing like that

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:40.860
thanks all you need to do is take off

00:07:37.979 --> 00:07:45.720
this external battery plate I think

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:49.860
I actually don't know I'm I am literally guessing right now

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:55.440
plug in this there you go and then it just goes next

00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:59.460
to your primary unit there's no external display on the extra battery unit this

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

00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:07.819
web interface all right scan for devices here we go Discovery completed

00:08:08.699 --> 00:08:14.060
um oh I'm not sure if I plugged it in all the way actually

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.199
uh

00:08:18.539 --> 00:08:24.840
well yeah it shut down safely let us find out

00:08:23.340 --> 00:08:30.120
why wait it was only asleep my game is even

00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:33.080
still running okay hold on one or more devices our initial

00:08:33.959 --> 00:08:39.599
I'm sure there's a user's guide somewhere that explains what's happening but

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:47.060
I didn't read it this is really a 90 page document

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:50.399
can tell Eaton's pedigree is Enterprise

00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:52.740
which is a good thing

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.640
ah here we go shut down my system when the amount of

00:08:54.899 --> 00:09:01.740
battery power remaining Falls below let's say

00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:03.779
20 right

00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:08.760
apply let's go ahead and pull the power and see if it shuts down gracefully

00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:13.260
ready and boom

00:09:08.760 --> 00:09:13.260
ah where'd the thing go yeah

00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:20.640
okay oh okay yes
