## Long description

The APC Back-UPS 1600VA Tower 230V provides power and surge protection for wireless networks, computers, gaming consoles and other electronics in homes or businesses. This line-interactive UPS includes Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to correct voltage dips and surges, and uses a sealed lead-acid (VRLA) 24 V 7 Ah battery. The compact black tower model offers six IEC C13 outlets, of which four provide battery backup with surge protection and two provide surge protection only. The unit carries CE product certification and includes a 2-year warranty.
Advantages
The UPS delivers 1.6 kVA (900 W) output capacity and sine waveform output, supporting continuous operation of connected equipment during short outages. Automatic Voltage Regulation maintains stable voltage without switching to battery for minor fluctuations, helping extend battery life. The mix of battery-backed and surge-only IEC C13 outlets lets you prioritise critical devices while conserving runtime for essential loads. The compact tower design and standard IEC connectors simplify installation and integration into existing setups.
Suitable for
Home or small office desktop computers and workstations
Wireless networking equipment (routers, modems, access points)
Gaming consoles and entertainment systems
Network-attached devices and small servers
Peripherals such as monitors, external drives and modems

How to use
Place the UPS on a flat, stable surface with adequate ventilation and connect critical equipment to the battery-backed outlets and less critical devices to the surge-only outlets. Plug the UPS into a properly grounded 230 V mains socket. Allow the UPS to charge for several hours before relying on battery backup. Use the USB 2.0 port if monitoring software is available to enable safe shutdown and status reporting. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for battery replacement and maintenance.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, prioritise essential devices on the battery-backed outlets and limit the total connected load to within the 900 W output rating. Regularly test the UPS and replace the battery according to the manufacturer’s schedule or if runtime decreases noticeably.
