Amazon.com Product Description
APC's Back-UPS LS 500 offers rugged and remarkably stylish power and surge protection for high-performance computer systems. With seven power outlets (four battery plus surge and three surge-only), two-line fax/modem protection, and easy-to-use software for file saving and auto system shutdown, the LS 500 provides complete computer-system protection.
Measuring just 5 x 9 x 8 inches (W x H x D) and weighing a mere 16 pounds, the LS 500 provides a lot of backup for its size. Dataline protection covers RJ-11 modem/fax/DSL protection (four-wire, dual lines), and the surge-energy rating extends to 420 joules, handling surges, spikes ,and even lightning (guaranteed).
An overload indicator notifies you when the UPS has too much connected equipment for its rated load, and audible alarms and status LEDs notify you of changing UPS and utility power conditions. A cold-start feature lets you power on the unit with no input power, providing temporary emergency battery power when the utility power is out.
Typical backup time at half load is 14.1 minutes (157.5 watts), and typical backup time at full load is 3.6 minutes (315 watts). Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects low-voltage conditions without draining the battery, while the unit's space-saving, ergonomic shape makes the unit easy to use and manage. Its outlets are conveniently located on top, and the alarm indicators are visible from any angle. The LS 500's transformer-block spacing is designed to allow use of up to two transformer block plugs without blocking access to other outlets.
USB 2.0 compatibility and connectivity ensures quick and easy installation of the included APC Shutdown Manager PowerChute Personal Edition software (for Windows 98/Me/XP/2000 and Mac OS 9.0.4 or higher).
The three surge-only outlets offer protection for non-data sensitive equipment like scanners and printers without reducing the unit's available power or battery capacity. This helps to maximize battery power for equipment that needs it most like a computer and monitor. The unit's use of a push-button circuit breaker instead of a standard fuse eliminates the need to return the unit to the factory for service.
Microprocessor-controlled battery charging and diagnostic testing ensures maximum battery life and intelligent battery management, while a replace-battery indicator warns you when to charge or replace the battery. Using an optional replacement battery, you can even change the LS 500's battery without powering down your equipment. The unit uses a leakproof, maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery with suspended electrolyte.
The UPS also offers a $25,000 lifetime equipment-protection policy, free trial offers of anti-virus, e-mail privacy, system recovery and firewall software, as well as a data-recovery warranty provided exclusively by Ontrack Data Recovery Services. Optional batteries include the CURK2 APC Charge-UPS Refresher Kit number 2 and RBC2 APC Replacement Battery Cartridge number 2.
