description APC Back-UPS Pro Series Overview

The APC Back-UPS Pro line remains a benchmark for reliable, mid-range UPS protection in small to medium offices.

While perhaps less 'smart' than the top-tier models, its proven reliability and ease of integration make it a safe, workhorse choice for protecting standard office workstations and networking equipment effectively.

help APC Back-UPS Pro Series FAQ

Does the APC Back-UPS Pro Series include an LCD screen?

Yes, unlike the standard entry-level APC models, the Back-UPS Pro Series typically features an LCD display. This screen provides real-time battery monitoring, power status, and load capacity metrics, which is essential for small to medium offices.

Can I connect the APC Back-UPS Pro to a computer for automatic shutdown?

Yes, these units come with a USB data port and include APC's PowerChute software. This software allows you to configure automatic shutdown sequences for your PC or server if the battery backup runs low during an extended power outage.

Are the battery backup outlets on the APC Back-UPS Pro sine wave?

No, the Back-UPS Pro line generally provides a simulated sine wave output, also known as a stepped approximation to a sine wave. While this is perfectly fine for most standard computer hardware, active PFC power supplies may require a pure sine wave UPS.

How many outlets does the APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA model have?

The popular 1500VA model in this series offers 10 total NEMA outlets. It splits these into two blocks: half provide both battery backup and surge protection, while the other half are surge-only outlets meant for less critical hardware like printers.
