VS Series 120V 500VA 250W Line-Interactive
Desktop UPS, Tower, 6 Outlets
MODEL NUMBER: VS500AVR
Provides affordable power protection for your desktop computer and other consumer electronics, such as
monitors, modems and hard drives. Protects against blackouts, brownouts and over/undervoltages.
Description
The VS500AVR VS Series 120V, 500VA/250W Line-Interactive Desktop Uninterruptible Power Supply
provides battery backup and AC power protection at an affordable price. Perfectly suited for backing up
your desktop computer and peripherals, such as monitors and modems, this line-interactive UPS switches
to battery backup mode in milliseconds to keep your connected equipment running long enough during
blackouts and brownouts to save files and shut down safely with no data loss.
Highlights
●
Supports a basic desktop PC up
to 18 min. during power outage
●
Features 6 protected outlets—3
battery-protected, 3 surge-only
●
Offers automatic voltage
regulation (AVR)
●
Compatible with 50 Hz or 60 Hz
input power
●
Plugs into any NEMA 5-15R
socket
While all six NEMA 5-15R outlets protect against surges, three outlets also provide up to 18 minutes of
UPS battery support for a basic desktop PC and an LCD monitor, as well as 8.2 minutes of support at
half-load (125W).
Ideal for home and office locations with unstable utility or generator power, the VS500AVR features
microprocessor-controlled automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that corrects severe undervoltages as low
as 76V and overvoltages as high as 147V without using any battery power. EMI/RFI noise filtering
improves your equipment’s performance and prevents damage.
To keep your mobile phone and other small devices charged during long outages, the VS500AVR’s “cold
start” feature lets you turn on the unit to periodically run connected equipment without using AC power.
NEMA 5-15P plug with 4-foot cord connects to any NEMA 5-15R socket. Auto-frequency feature supports
50 Hz or 60 Hz input power. Front-panel LEDs and an audible alarm offer instant information about power,
AVR and overload status.
