120V, 50/60 Hz, 5-15P Plug, USB, ENERGY STAR,
Desktop/Wall

MODEL NUMBER: BC800U

Compact desktop UPS with silent alarm provides battery backup support for your home/office network
system or digital signage components.

Features

Energy-Saving 800VA/450W/120V Battery Backup for PCs, Home Theater and Digital Signage

The standby BC800U UPS system provides reliable battery backup and AC power protection against
blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, surges and line noise that can damage valuable electronics or
destroy data. The 12-outlet 120V battery backup is ideal protection for your home office, media center or
professional kiosk, security and small-business applications, including computers, routers, printers,
HDTVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, ATMs, security systems, phone systems, wireless hotspots and
digital signage equipment.

Allows Time to Back Up Critical Files During a Blackout

Backup support allows you to work through short power failures and gives you enough time to safely save
files and shut down your system in case of a prolonged blackout. Backup time varies according to load,
but the BC800U should keep an energy-efficient desktop computer with small LCD monitor powered as
long as 36 minutes. During normal operation, incoming utility power keeps the replaceable internal battery
fully charged, so backup power will always be available.

12 NEMA 5-15R Outlets Protect Your Computer and Other Connected Components

Six 5-15R outlets provide battery backup and surge protection for your computer, monitor and other
crucial components. The other six 5-15R outlets provide surge suppression only for printers, scanners,
speakers and other desktop equipment regarded as non-essential during a blackout.

ENERGY STAR-Certified to Help You Save Money and Protect the Environment

By meeting strict EPA efficiency guidelines, this ENERGY STAR-certified UPS system helps you save
money and energy. A high >98% efficiency rating signals a reduction in BTU emissions, energy
consumption and, ultimately, your energy costs.

316 Joules Fight Back Against Unexpected Power Surges

A 316-joule surge suppression rating protects connected components from the harmful effects of power
surges. Dual network dataline surge suppression jacks protect a wired peripheral from dangerous surges
on a single 10/100Base-T or dial-up network connection.

This USB port connects the BC800U to a computer running Tripp Lite’s free downloadable PowerAlert®
software to enable safe unattended file saves and system shutdown in case of a prolonged power failure.
USB cable is included.

Combats Electromagnetic Interference That Can Harm Equipment

Various electromagnetic and radio sources found in virtually every home and business can cause
disruptive interference on the AC line. Known as EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio
frequency interference), this line noise is a common cause of performance problems and can lead to
incremental hardware damage, data corruption and audio/video transmission problems. The BC800U
incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line noise so that it won’t affect your equipment.

Home-Friendly Alarm and Diagnostic LEDs Report Real-Time Status

The UPS remains silent in both line and battery backup modes. The alarm sounds only to report low
battery, excessive load or fault condition. Three LED indicators monitor operating mode, low- and replace­battery conditions, overload and fault status at a glance.

Compact Housing for Convenient Installation Almost Anywhere

The space-saving ABS housing fits on a desktop, shelf or anywhere else convenient to your workstation
or home theater. Keyhole mounting tabs on the rear allow easy wall-mount installation. The five-foot
power cord with NEMA 5-15P plug connects to any compatible AC outlet.
