Caution!

■To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the Uninterruptible Power Source from the mains before installing a computer interface signal cable (when used). Reconnect the power cord only after all signalling interconnections have been made.

■Connect the Uninterruptible Power Source to a two-pole, three-wire grounding mains re- ceptacle. The receptacle must be connected to appropriate branch protection (fuse or cir- cuit breaker). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and may violate local electrical codes.

■This Uninterruptible Power Source has an internal energy source (the battery) that cannot be de-energized by the user. The output may be energized when the unit is not connected to a mains supply.

■To properly de-energize the Uninterruptible Power Source in an emergency, move the I/O switch to the O (off) position and disconnect the power cord from the mains.

■Avoid installing the Uninterruptible Power Source in locations where there is water or ex- cessive humidity.

■Do not allow water or any foreign object to get inside the Uninterruptible Power Source. Do not put objects containing liquid on or near the unit.

■To reduce the risk of overheating the Uninterruptible Power Source, avoid exposing the unit to the direct rays of the sun. Avoid installing the unit near heat emitting appliances such as a room heater or stove.

■The Protective Earth conductor of this UPS carries the Leakage Current from the load de- vices (computer equipment). This UPS generates approximately 0.75 mA of leakage cur- rent. To ensure a safe limit of 3.5 mA, the total leakage current of the load devices should be limited to 2.75 mA. If you are unsure of the leakage current from the load devices, en- sure that this product is plugged into a 3-wire receptacle that has a reliable (low impedance) Protective Earth connection to provide a safe path for the leakage current, and replace the powercord to the UPS with one that has a locking type plug (IEC 309) rated a minimum of 10 A. This powercord may require the services of a professional electrician for the installa- tion of the matching wall receptacle.

K250EI, BK400EI, BK600EI specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) is renowned for its innovative power management solutions, and its uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are a testament to this commitment. Among their product lineup, the BK600EI, BK400EI, and K250EI models are popular choices designed to provide reliable power protection to various devices and systems.

The BK600EI is a 600VA UPS, ideal for protecting office equipment, personal computers, and networking devices. One of its standout features is the line-interactive technology, which provides voltage regulation during brownouts and surges. This model also supports an LCD display that offers real-time data on battery status, load capacity, and input voltage, enabling users to monitor their power environment easily. Additionally, the BK600EI has a compact design, making it suitable for space-limited areas.

Conversely, the BK400EI is a slightly lower-capacity model, rated at 400VA, making it an excellent option for smaller systems or devices with lower power requirements. Similar to the BK600EI, it employs line-interactive technology, ensuring continuous operation even during power fluctuations. This model is designed with automatic shutdown software that protects devices from data loss during power outages, a critical feature for businesses that rely on information stability and integrity.

The K250EI stands out with its 250VA capacity, catering to entry-level applications. This model is perfect for those needing basic power protection for devices such as routers, modems, or small desktop computers. The K250EI is designed with overload protection, ensuring that devices are safeguarded against electrical surges and overload conditions. The LED indicators provide a quick visual reference for the unit's operational status, reducing user effort in monitoring performance.

All three models share essential characteristics, such as a compact footprint, user-friendly interfaces, and advanced battery management technologies that improve longevity and efficiency. They also come equipped with multiple outlets to ensure users can connect various devices simultaneously. Furthermore, each model is engineered to minimize the environmental impact, boasting energy-efficient designs that contribute to reduced power consumption.

In conclusion, the APC BK600EI, BK400EI, and K250EI UPS models exemplify affordable and effective power management solutions.
