For example, it is probably critical to maintain outside communication through a modem or router in the event of a power outage; but not as important for a subwoofer to remain powered. With a PowerPlay connected to a PowerPack UPS you can assign any zone an importance level that will permit that zone to shut down if the battery of the UPS falls below a certain level, thus protecting the system for hours at a time in the event of a power outage.
Email and text message alerts
Connected as a system, the PowerPack will communicate with the PowerPlay unit to send an email or text alert to your dealer or the user in the event its batteries require replacement, thus avoiding the potential for unexpected failure of the battery backup system right when you need it.
Hot swappable batteries
In the event batteries need to be replaced, it can be done in a matter of moments. Remove the PowerPack's front panel by simply pulling it off while it is still in the rack. With two screws you access the protective battery drawer, pull the batteries out while the PowerPack remains in operation and replace with fresh batteries.
The PowerPack provides voltage regulation
Voltage Regulation (keeping voltage within nominal operating ranges) prevents equipment lock-ups due to power sags and keeps equipment from heating up (power supplies require more current when voltage is low).
The PowerPack is able to tolerate continuous under voltage brownouts and overvoltage surges without consuming the limited reserve battery power. It instead compensates by auto-selecting different power taps on the internal autotransformer.
The PowerPack 1500 can compensate for AC voltages from 90v to 140v for 120v power, 180v to 280v for 230v power and then switch to battery if the voltage goes much higher or lower than this range.
