A:AnswerWith 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.
A:AnswerThe 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.
A:AnswerIt 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.
A:AnswerWhen 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
A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry. The BN600G has a joule rating of 340 joules. It is rated for 360 watts, so you could connect a security camera as long as you did not exceed this watt rating. At half load or 180 watts, you can expect to have 10 minutes of runtime available.
A:AnswerYou have got to be kidding me! These are meant for electronic equipment such as computers, WIFI systems, TVs, etc. No equipment. The maunfacturer's literature tells you that.
A:AnswerThank you for your recent inquiry. Our battery backs are specifically designed to protect computer and networking equipment. Although it is possible that one of our units could work with a hospital bed, they have never been specifically tested in this application. In order for one of our units to safely shutdown and restart after a power failure, you would need to install our management software on an attached computer system.
A:AnswerThat indicates that the battery needs replaced. If it is under the manufactures warranty contact APC to get the battery replaced (Don't bring it into best buy, they have no way of honoring the manufacture warranty and no obligation to). If it is not under warranty you can purchase a new battery from APC but you likely will spend more then purchasing a new one.
A:AnswerThe 12 volt battery and inverter/converter in the unit is only for 110 volts in and out. You would lose considerable reserve power converting the supply to 220 in and out. My advise would be find a unit designed for 220 to start with.
