The small grey cube which measures 30cmx12cmx19cm weighs in a
hefty 14.5 kg (32 pounds). The two batteries are heavy as is the internal
transformer so it's not surprising.
The front of the UPS 800VA is easy to understand, the green LED tells users
everything is okay and that power voltages are in check. A yellow LED indicates
when power voltages are either too high or too low and the battery is in
use. Lastly, A red LED warns users that the internal batteries are critically
low or dead.
The innards...
One of the
cool features of the UPS 800VA is it's ability to also regulate the power signal going
to the computer. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR for short) this is most useful
when brown outs occur (when voltage dips below 90 Volts). During such periods the
UPS 800VA will switch to battery mode for the duration of the brown out
to ensure the computer is getting clean and steady voltage (between
110V-120V).
Should the UPS 800VA fail during the three year warranty period
and data is lost, Belkin will provide their customers with professional data recovery services
free of charge. There is also a $150,000 connected equipment warranty as well.
It's nice to see Belkin not only warranty their products, but guarantee that devices
attached to the UPS will not get damaged as
well!
