Schneider Electric, the global leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced the release of Back-UPS BE Series – 900 & 1050 VA. These feature-rich uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) come with an increased power capacity from 850 to 900VA and a new 1050VA offering.
Ensuring uninterrupted connectivity to a home network has become an indispensable necessity in today's world, particularly with the demands of remote work requiring constant access to hardware devices such as computers, routers, and modems. Essential smart home devices like security cameras and baby monitors also rely heavily on this connectivity. Power disruptions – whether from surges, spikes, or lightning – are no longer a concern with the Back-UPS BE Series which provides instant battery backup and surge protection to the valuable electronic devices in the home.
Along with an enhanced look and feel through a sleek white design crafted with the modern home and workspace in mind, the series includes these innovative features:
- Uninterrupted Internet Connection: Over 100 minutes of runtime for network devices when power is outside expected levels.
- Compact and Versatile: The stackable surface allows for the stacking of electronic devices on top of the UPS to maximize space.
- Convenient Charging & Battery Replacement: Users can charge mobile devices and tablets via two USB (Type A + Type C) charging ports. It also features a battery that is easily replaced by the user at home.
- Easy-to-understand User Interface: The power button displays different colors to signal UPS status: green when operating normally, yellow when it needs attention, and red when overloaded or the battery must be replaced. A mute button also allows the user to temporarily silence low-battery alarms.
- Built-in Sustainability: Packaged sustainably and with an energy efficiency of 99%, it has met ENERGY STAR® UPS Version 2.0 specifications and complies with the Department of Energy's Energy Conservation Standards for UPS, as well as the European Union’s REACH standards and RoHS directive. The 900/1050VA line comes with PowerChute Serial Shutdown, an energy monitoring and configuration software that helps users save on their utility bills.
“With this reliable power protection and backup, people can continue doing the things that matter most, even during a power outage, while also reducing their carbon footprint,” said Michael Mahan, Senior Vice President of Transactional and Edge Business, Secure Power division, Schneider Electric. “We designed the APC Next Gen BE Series to minimize clutter and maximize space while giving customers peace of mind to know that important appliances and devices will remain up and running no matter what, safeguarding against data loss or disruptions in critical functions.”
