Tripp Lite by Eaton 900VA 480W Line-Interactive UPS - 12 NEMA 5-15R Outlets, AVR, 120V, 50/60 Hz, USB, Desktop/Wall Mount

Safeguard your computer, workstation, and essential peripherals with a compact, highly capable line-interactive UPS. The Tripp Lite by Eaton 900VA 480W model combines reliable power backup with automatic voltage regulation (AVR), extensive outlet coverage, and practical convenience for home offices, small businesses, and IT setups. Designed to deliver clean, steady 120V power when the grid falters, it helps prevent data loss, hardware damage, and downtime caused by voltage fluctuations, surges, and outages.

• Robust backup power for work-critical devices: 900 VA / 480 W of backup capacity keeps your PC, monitor, and essential peripherals running through short outages and minor disturbances so you can save work and gracefully shut down when needed.
• Advanced voltage regulation with AVR: Maintains a steady 120V output even as input voltage swings from 83V to 147V, reducing the risk of brownouts and protecting sensitive electronics from damage due to under- or over-voltage conditions.
• Plenty of outlets for busy desks: Twelve NEMA 5-15R outlets provide ample protection and surge-safe power distribution for a complete workstation, including PC towers, monitors, printers, external drives, and charging devices.
• USB connectivity for safe, managed shutdown: A USB port enables HID-PDC compliant communication with your computer for automatic or controlled shutdown, signaling you when power is running low and ensuring data integrity during extended outages.
• Versatile, compact installation: The desktop and wall-mountable design lets you position the UPS exactly where you need it—under a desk, on a shelf, or mounted to a wall—without compromising space or accessibility.

How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton 900VA Line-Interactive UPS

• Choose a suitable location: Find a stable, level surface near your computer and power outlets. If desk space is limited, consider wall-mounting options provided by the unit to keep the workspace clear.
• Place the UPS and connect to a wall outlet: Position the UPS so that its ventilation is not obstructed. Plug the UPS directly into a wall outlet (not a power strip) to ensure the best performance and accurate AVR operation.
• Connect critical equipment: Plug your computer, monitor, keyboard, and other essential peripherals into the 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets. For devices that require uninterrupted operation during short outages, use the outlets designated for battery-backed protection if your model specifies this configuration.
• Establish communication with your PC: Connect the USB cable from the UPS to your computer. This enables HID-PDC compliant signaling for graceful shutdowns and status monitoring through compatible software or operating system features.
• Power on and configure: Turn on the UPS and follow any on-screen prompts or software prompts to calibrate AVR settings, set up notification preferences, and confirm the shutdown behavior during extended power outages.
