APC Back-UPS, 1200VA, Tower, 230V, 4x CEE 7/5 French Schuko outlets, AVR

The APC Back-UPS 1200VA Tower provides power continuity and surge protection for home and office electronics including wireless networks, computers and gaming consoles. This line-interactive UPS supplies up to 1.2 kVA (650 W) of output power through four outlets that offer both battery backup and surge protection. The unit uses sealed lead acid battery technology, includes Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct voltage dips and surges, and carries CE and CB certifications with RoHS compliance. The UPS is supplied with a 1.2 m power cable and backed by a 2-year warranty.

Advantages

The UPS combines battery backup and surge protection in a compact tower design with four AC outlets, allowing connected devices to remain powered during short outages and to be protected from transient voltage events. Automatic Voltage Regulation stabilizes input voltage without switching to battery, extending runtime for power interruptions. The sealed lead acid battery design requires minimal maintenance and the unit meets CE/CB safety standards and RoHS environmental requirements.

Suitable for

• Home wireless routers and modem protection
• Desktop computers and workstations
• Gaming consoles and entertainment systems
• Small office network equipment and VoIP phones

How to use

Place the UPS on a stable, well-ventilated surface away from direct heat and moisture. Connect the UPS to mains power using the supplied cable and fully charge the internal battery before first use. Plug your critical devices into the four protected outlets. If the UPS detects a significant voltage problem or a power failure, it will automatically switch to battery power and supply connected equipment until mains power is restored or the battery is depleted. Follow the user manual for battery replacement and disposal instructions.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, install the UPS in a cool, dry location with adequate airflow, avoid overloading it beyond the 650 W rating, and perform periodic battery self-tests. Replace the sealed lead acid battery according to the manufacturer's schedule or when runtime becomes insufficient.
