Can you adjust the alarm settings?

Yes, in the PowerChute software, UPS's that are connected to computers via the supplied USB cable can have their sensitivity settings adjusted, as well as specify what hours you want to disable the alarm, if desired.

What is the "Master" and "Controlled by Master" feature?

The device plugged into the "Master" outlet controls the power profile of devices plugged into the "Controlled by Master" outlets. When a device in the Master outlet goes to sleep or standby, devices in the Controlled by Master outlets do the same.

How do you turn off the alarm?

The Back-UPS Pro model provides a button on the front that can mute any audible alarm caused by an event.

How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?

Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices. The LCD screen on a Back-UPS Pro model will display the estimated runtime based on the current power load of products plugged into the UPS.

Is the PowerChute software required for this UPS? Will load-time and other data be visible on LCD without this software?

The BR700G Back-UPS Pro can be used out of the box (once the battery is connected), and the LCD screen will display the full array of information offered. The PowerChute software provides additional data and settings for your UPS.

    • Product Description

    Best solution for poor power regions and applications requiring longer runtimes.
    The Back-UPS RS offers high performance protection for your business and office computer systems. It provides abundant battery backup power, allowing you to work through medium and extended length power outages. It also safeguards your equipment from damaging surges and spikes that travel along utility, phone and network lines. A distinguishing feature of the Back-UPS RS is automatic voltage regulation (AVR). AVR instantly adjusts both low and high voltages to safe levels, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltage situations, saving the battery for power outages when you need it most. Award-winning shutdown software automatically powers down your computer system in the event of an extended power outage. Additional features like audible alarms, LED status indicators, user replaceable battery, push-button circuit breakers and plentiful outlets (including transformer-block spaced outlets) make the Back-UPS RS the perfect unit to protect your business' productivity from the constant threat of power problems and lost data.

    Great ups for computers
    I've used this ups for around 2 1/2 - 3 years and once I moved cross state I had to leave it behind due to the weight of it and being not as cost effective to ship across the us and ended up purchasing another one since it worked amazingly compared to the other ups's I've tried, gives you a buffer period between power flickers to not have your desktop pc completely shut off or a 5-15 minute window depending on your pc specs to power everything off safely in a full outage, I have a fairly beefy power hungry pc with a rtx 3080 and other high end parts and this is one of the few I've seen that can handle the wattage usage of my pc at this price point while still managing to keep my pc on during power flickers, also nice it has a side that's purely for surge protection and Ethernet surge protection, It's super important to have a solid Ethernet surge protector on your modem, had my previous 300$ 5 gigabit modem die to lightning hitting a tree in our front yard and having lightning travel up the copper coax line and frying it so make sure you're getting usage out of all of the features of this ups and save yourself money down the line with dead/fried components!

    Never choose Amazon same day delivery. I have used this option 3 times and every time I received four or more days later. Use the next day option instead and you will most likely get it on time.
    The APC UPS is great! EZ to install and has already saved my computer at least 4 times. My area suffers from momentary power loss where the power shuts off then return a second later. It has already cost me two computers, three video cards and one monitor in the last 6 months. I bought this to stop the damage it causes by sudden power loss then voltage spikes when power returns. Paid top dollar for surge protectors and it did no good. If you want true protection for your equipment buy this. You can download software from APC web site that allows your computer to shut down properly in the event a power failure would exceed the battery time of the UPS. Make sure you buy one that will supply enough wattage to power the equipment you plan on hooking up to it. also make sure it is rated PFC compatible as some computers require this to work correctly with a UPS.
    It is now the 1st of January and so far this UPS has saved my computer from 5 power losses. No lost files and no excessive wear and tear on equipment. Highly recommend this.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good UPS, saves equipment

    I've owned this UPS for about a month so far. It reports two power events so far. One being a blackout for about 4 seconds and the other was a voltage surge. The voltage surge permanently damaged a TV which my roommate foolishly put on a power-tap instead of a surge protector and my HTPC probably would have suffered the same fate were it not for this UPS.

    I have my HTPC, modem and router which use ~50 watts when idle. The UPS reports ~45 minutes of battery power for this configuration.
    Pros:
    - It works, saved my electronics during a surge and kept them running during a blackout.
    - Respectable VA and wattage ratting. (~45min run-time @50 watts)
    - No fan! Quiet (sort of, see notes)!
    - The LCD is a nice feature to easily look at the status of the UPS.
    - Good looking.
    - APC powerchute is simple to use and seems adequate for non-industrial users.

    Notes:
    - Some other reviews are reporting a humming noise which I suspect is just transformer hum. There is a slight transformer hum in my unit, that can barely be heard when I'm less than 1 meter from the UPS. When I'm sitting on the couch (~2 meters from UPS) I can't hear it no matter how much I try to listen for it. However, my UPS is reporting a building wiring fault, which I suspect is the root cause of the problem and not something inherently wrong with the UPS itself. If you hear a hum, check the building wiring fault light, or if you know how to check for DC noise or ground loop faults in your wiring do so before blaming the unit as being faulty.

    - Not really APC's fault but APCUPSD (3rd part interface) doesn't have working USB drivers for windows 7, so it wont work with this device.

    I had a situation where there is a line voltage drop when a printer kicks on. Even with the sensitivity control turned down on the APC, it still threw an event for under-voltage and went on battery. Even getting to this point took their technician a half hour. I was guided through a collection of useless exercises. I am a software architect and I am amazed that they have no good diagnostic tools. So, the hardware is good so far, but the rest speaks for itself.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great product; poor packing.

    First, let me rate the product. I have three of these UPS units in my house now. This series of UPS delivers output power that has a much better approximation to a true sine wave compared to many UPS units without having to spend $400. As a result, the newer PC power supplies are much happier and thus quieter and there is money left in my wallet. The battery is easy to install and change, the display is informative, and you have the option to turn off the visual display when the unit is running. The unit itself is also very quiet. There is an option to connect the UPS to a USB port on a Windows PC (don't know about Mac) with the included cable and Windows 7 or later will recognize the UPS. You can then program your PC to automatically shut down safely when the UPS is drained to a specified level. I haven't had to use that feature because we have occasional brownouts and very brief outages, but very rarely long-term power outages. In short, great product. I have three and will buy more as I need them.

    Second, let me rate Amazon's shipping department. Simply stated they did a poor job. The last UPS I received was in a box with very little packing material. When I took the UPS out of the box, the case was broken well beyond repair and there were bits of plastic in box that had broken off. I didn't dare even to test the thing. Surely UPS must have been too rough in handling, but there wasn't any real packing material either. The UPS didn't stand a chance. I contacted Amazon and their customer service folks got me fixed up with a replacement, but it was a hassle I wish I could have avoided. The replacement arrived OK along with more packing. How lucky do you think you are?

    I really like the UPS and wish I could buy it retail. I have my doubts about buying heavy and fragile items from Amazon.

    Really nice shape. Decent display. Plenty of power. Compared to CyberPower this is much nicer. No stinky smells or burning smells. Only real issues are the plugs are too close to each other at the back. The coax cable and Ethernet ports on the back are useless as well since nobody uses these because they create latency and issues with speed and signal loss. No need for these on any UPS. My model is the 850VA. Price is a bit high as well, but quality seems decent. We shall see how long it lasts.
