Features
Compact Desktop 500VA/260W Battery Backup for PCs, Home Theater and Digital SignageThis
120V UPS system provides reliable battery backup and AC power protection against blackouts,
brownouts, overvoltages, surges and line noise that can damage valuable electronics or destroy data. The
eight-outlet 120V battery backup is ideal protection for your home office, media center or professional
kiosk, security and small-business phone applications, including computers, routers, printers, HDTVs, Blu-
ray players, game consoles, ATMs, security systems and digital signage equipment.
Allows Time to Back Up Critical Files During a BlackoutBackup support allows you to work through
short power failures, and gives you enough time to safely save files and shut down your system in case of
a prolonged blackout. Backup time varies according to load, but the BC500 should keep an energy-
efficient desktop computer with small LCD monitor powered as long as 18 minutes. During normal
operation, incoming utility power keeps the replaceable internal battery fully charged, so backup power will
always be available.
Connects Your Equipment to 8 Protected NEMA 5-15R OutletsFour 5-15R outlets provide both battery
backup and surge protection to your computer, monitor and other crucial components. The other four are
surge-protected only for printers, scanners and other non-essential equipment. A 316-joule surge
suppression rating protects connected components from the harmful effects of power surges. Two outlets
are spaced apart from the others to accommodate bulky transformers.
Combats Electromagnetic Interference That Can Harm EquipmentVarious electromagnetic and radio
sources found in virtually every home and business can cause disruptive interference on the AC line.
Known as EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference), this line noise is a
common cause of performance problems and can lead to incremental hardware damage, data corruption
and audio/video transmission problems. The BC500 incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line
noise so that it won’t affect your equipment.
Diagnostic LED and Audible Alarm Keep You InformedFront-panel green LED indicates line/battery
mode status, overloads and low/replace battery alert. A home-friendly alarm stays silent in AC and battery
modes, except to warn you of a low battery or fault condition.
High Line-Mode Efficiency Saves Energy and Cuts CostsA high >98% line mode efficiency rating
reduces BTU emissions, energy consumption and, ultimately, your energy costs.
Compact Housing for Convenient Installation Almost AnywhereThe space-saving housing fits easily
on a desktop, shelf or anywhere else convenient to your workstation. Keyhole mounting tabs allows easy
wall installation. The five-foot power cord with NEMA 5-15P plug connects to a standard AC outlet.
