APC Back-UPS 600VA UPS
Owner's manual

Q: Compatibility

A: With a quick look at the I Mac specs, it appears that this will provide reasonable support for just the computer and monitor. It has a capacity of about 360 watts, (I Mac G5 = 180W) which should be adequate. The I Mac shows a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hertz, so the stepped wave form should not be too damaging. The UPS is an off line unit so "normal" operation does not use the inverter. That being said, there may be issues with the transition from utility to UPS power according to the ability of the I Mac to withstand a sub-second wave form disruption. This is a simple, inexpensive UPS. If you use the I Mac for serious use you may want an online, double conversion, sine wave unit, which is much more expensive. Home use is probably OK.

Q: How many outlets are power protected

A: The outlets on the side of the label provides the protection as listed. One side is battery backed up plus surge protected and the other side is only surge protected.

Q: My telephone & security system is attached to TWC's modem, TG1672G. Will the APC 600VA system backup the phone/security function during a blackout?

A: It depends on the power consumption of your equipment, the capacity of the UPS and the duration of the power failure. First, add up the wattage ratings of all the devices you want to connect to the UPS. Next look at the specifications of various UPS's and select one that can deliver that much (or more) power for a period equal to the longest blackout you anticipate. Example: if you need 50 watts, a UPS that can deliver 100 watts for 60 minutes will provide 50 watts for about 120 minutes. However, I recommend buying the highest VA rating you can afford. The higher capacity UPS's are better built, have better surge suppressors, often have replaceable batteries, and they run proportionately longer. Reserve capacity is always desirable.

Q: PowerChute Management Software ?

A: When plugged into your PC via the USB cable, when the software detects that there is less than a certain percentage of battery remaining, it will shut down your computer for you

Q: can this be wall mounted?

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this UPS does have slotted holes on the back and can be wall mounted.

Q: What sized battery would be needed to power an electric hospital bed in the event of a power outage. The bed is rated at 100-127 volts, 60Hz,12A.

A: undefined

Q: does it have a replaceable battery?

A: Yes the battery is replaceable. Part # is listed on the battery cover.

Q: Please diagram the correct cable connection to the battery. It seems possible to connect improperly.

A: All you do is plug 1 connection in. the other is already plugged in...

Battery backup protects my Internet
The other day my Internet went down while we were away and I couldn't access my home security system from my Cellphone. When I arrived at home, I found that the battery backup I use to keep my cable modem, wi-fi and security system hardware running during a power outage failed after less than 3 years. Even though that unit was still in warranty, I couldn't find the documentation to verify proof of purchase. I decided to spend a bit more and purchase an APC replacement supply instead of the brand I purchased originally. The APC unit happened to be on sale, so it was only $10 more than an exact replacement, and it is providing me with 25% greater capacity. I've only had it a week now, but it's operating fine. The only issue I have with these supplies is that most of the equipment I need to plug in have oversize power supply boxes making it impossible to use every outlet. Fortunately, I was able to plug in my two wifi routers and cable modem without resorting to a secondary outlet strip, but I lost the use of one of the protected outlets. The security monitor that I would like to have available in case of an outage is plugged into the unprotected side. If the monitor goes down, I can still operate the system via my cell phone app, so the system is still operational. Not ideal, but I preferred that solution to the hassle of adding a second power strip.. I only gave the unit 4 stars because they had the room on the exterior to spread the outlets widely, but chose to group three outlets together and set only one to the side. Had they divided the outlet space equally across the front of the device and relocated the power switch, I might have been able to use all four protected outlets.

Great TV with the best picture imaginable.
The TV is beyond compare. It has the best picture and all the features make it a joy to use. The Geek Squad team that did the install were very professional and helpful.

Does its job well
Just bought my second and third one of these. The first one backs up a desktop computer and monitor and easily runs it for 15 minutes after a power outage. The new ones are to power my cable box (Comcast) because even the briefest flicker of power and the box goes through the whole five minutes restart procedure. The other one is just for the modem/router/VOIP/NAT devices. We don't lose power very often or for very long periods of time but keeping all those devices from resetting and rebooting is worth the price of these inexpensive UPS devices (paid $45 each). Batteries are easily replaceable and about $17 each for the generic brand.
