Vsonic UPS 5000VA: Overview
The Vsonic UPS 5000VA is an uninterruptible power supply, a unit that keeps your equipment running when the mains fails and cleans up the power while it is on. A 5000VA rating is aimed at offices, server rooms, CCTV and network systems and sites that cannot afford sudden shutdowns.
Features and Benefits
A UPS sits between the wall and your equipment and uses batteries to supply power the instant the mains drops, so computers do not crash, files are not lost and networks stay up. A 5000VA unit is large enough for several computers, network switches, CCTV recorders and similar loads at once. VA is not the same as watts: the usable output in watts is normally lower than the VA figure, often around 60 to 80 per cent, so check your total wattage before you rely on the number. How long it runs depends on the batteries, which are often a separate purchase for units this big, so the backup time you get depends on how many you connect.
Using and Caring for It
Install the UPS on a firm, level surface in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sun, and use correctly rated cables and breakers. Connect only the equipment that needs backup, and keep heavy loads such as air conditioners, heaters and irons off it. Test it from time to time by switching off the mains briefly, keep the batteries charged and replace them when their capacity drops, usually every few years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many computers can it support?
That depends on their combined wattage. A 5000VA UPS normally supports a good number of computers and network devices, but check the total watts first.
Are batteries included?
Contact Vsonic to confirm whether batteries are included and how many hours of backup you need, since the battery bank decides the run time.
Can I run an air conditioner on it?
UPS units are not meant for air conditioners, heaters or irons. They are best for computers, networks, CCTV and other sensitive electronics.
