FAQs
What is the difference between line interactive and standby UPS?
Line interactive UPS, like the Defender, continuously regulates incoming voltage using AVR to prevent battery drain from minor power fluctuations. This extends battery life and provides faster response to power failures compared to standby models.
Can I replace the batteries myself?
Yes. The Defender features user-replaceable, hot-swappable batteries, allowing you to perform maintenance without specialist assistance or system downtime.
How long will the UPS run on battery?
Runtime depends on connected load. At full 720W capacity, runtime is shorter; at lower loads (typical office use), runtime extends significantly. Consult PowerShield specifications for detailed runtime curves at specific load levels.
Does the UPS have software monitoring?
Yes. The Defender includes USB communication and free NetGuard software, allowing remote monitoring of UPS status and configuration of graceful system shutdown during extended outages.
Is the Defender suitable for my office?
The 1200VA/720W Defender is ideal for protecting small office equipment such as POS systems, routers, modems, and network devices. It operates silently and is designed for professional environments.
What warranty does the Defender include?
The Defender comes with a 24-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I use the UPS in off-mode charging?
Yes. The Defender supports off-mode charging, allowing the batteries to charge even when the UPS is powered off, which is useful if the unit is not in regular use.
