FAQs
What is automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and why does it matter?
AVR automatically adjusts incoming voltage to protect equipment from power line disturbances, surges, and sags. This extends equipment lifespan and prevents data loss or hardware damage caused by unstable mains power.
Can I replace the batteries myself?
Yes. The Defender 1600 features user-replaceable batteries, allowing you to maintain the system without requiring a technician, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
How long will the Defender 1600 keep my equipment running during a power outage?
Runtime depends on the load connected. The specifications provided cover power capacity; exact backup time varies based on the wattage of connected devices. NetGuard software helps manage shutdown timing.
Is the Defender 1600 suitable for servers and network equipment?
The Defender 1600 is designed primarily for workstations, office computers, and gaming systems. For dedicated server and network equipment protection, consult our team to ensure adequate capacity and features.
What is NetGuard software and does it cost extra?
NetGuard is included free with the Defender 1600. It connects via USB and provides remote monitoring, alerts, and intelligent device shutdown capabilities during extended power loss.
Does the UPS continue to charge batteries when switched off?
Yes. Off-mode charging allows the battery to charge even when the UPS is switched off, keeping it ready for immediate use.
Why is silent operation important for my business?
The fanless design means no cooling noise, making the Defender 1600 ideal for noise-sensitive environments like offices, call centres, and open workspaces where audible equipment operation is distracting.
