Tripp Lite by Eaton 1200VA 600W Line-Interactive UPS with AVR, 8 Outlets – LCD, USB

The Tripp Lite by Eaton 1200VA 600W Line-Interactive UPS is the dependable power backbone for your home office, entertainment hub, or digital signage setup. This tower UPS combines robust battery backup with advanced protection to shield your devices from outages, surges, brownouts, and irregular mains. With an easy-to-read LCD, automatic voltage regulation (AVR), and a USB interface for monitoring and safe shutdown, this unit delivers reliable runtime and proactive protection for critical electronics while fitting neatly on a desk, shelf, or cabinet.

• Power protection for essential electronics: With a 1200VA / 600W capacity and eight outlets, this UPS ensures your most important devices stay powered during outages. Four outlets provide battery-backed protection for devices such as your PC, monitor, modem/router, NAS, and media player, while the remaining four outlets offer surge protection for peripherals like printers, speakers, and charging stations. This arrangement helps you prioritize critical workloads and minimize data loss during power events.
• Smart AVR and LCD status display: Automatic Voltage Regulation keeps output at a steady 120V (within tolerance) even when the incoming voltage fluctuates. The LCD panel provides real-time visibility into input voltage, output voltage, load level, battery charge, and estimated runtime, so you can quickly assess system health and plan for routine maintenance or battery aging without guessing.
• USB connectivity and PC shutdown capability: A built-in USB port lets you connect to a computer for safe, automatic shutdown during extended outages. Pair the UPS with PowerAlert software or compatible management tools to monitor runtime, perform graceful shutdowns, and receive alerts when the power situation changes. This makes it ideal for home offices, small offices, and media centers that demand dependable protection with simple software integration.
• User-friendly, space-saving tower design: The compact tower form factor fits neatly on a desk, shelf, or entertainment cabinet, while a quiet cooling profile minimizes noise disruption in living rooms or workspaces. The intuitive LCD interface and straightforward outlet labeling make setup and ongoing operation effortless, even for users who are newer to UPS technology.
• Reliable battery backup and seamless restoration: When power returns after an outage, the UPS automatically transitions devices back to mains with a swift transfer time, helping you minimize downtime. The maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery provides dependable backup life, while the unit’s design supports safe recharge and readiness for the next event. This reliability is ideal for preserving work, protecting sensitive AV gear, and keeping network gear online during brief outages.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 1200VA 600W Line-Interactive UPS

• Choose the right location: Place the UPS on a stable, ventilated surface near a wall outlet. Ensure there is clearance for access to the LCD panel and USB cable while keeping cords organized to avoid cable clutter.
• Connect to mains power: Plug the UPS into a dedicated 120V wall outlet. Do not daisy-chain through power strips or adapters that could limit performance or ventilation.
• Assign outlets to devices: Plug your critical devices (for example, desktop PC, monitor, router/modem, and NAS) into the battery-backed outlets. Reserve the surge-only outlets for non-critical peripherals (printers, speakers, external drives) to maximize runtime during an outage.
• Establish USB management: Connect the included USB cable from the UPS to a computer. Install the PowerAlert software or compatible UPS management tools to enable automatic safe shutdown, monitoring, and alert notifications.
• Configure AVR and alarms: Use the LCD panel to verify that AVR is enabled and to set preferences for audible alarms, screens, and brightness. Run a brief self-test from the LCD or software to verify proper function and outlet assignments.
• Test the system: With no load, perform a quick power-down and restore cycle to confirm the UPS properly switches from line power to battery backup and back when power is restored. Verify that your critical devices continue running without interruption and that the software reports accurate runtime.

Frequently asked questions

• What does 1200VA/600W mean? The VA rating indicates apparent power, while the W rating indicates real power. This UPS can deliver up to 600 watts continuously to connected devices, making it suitable for a typical home office setup or media center with multiple components.
• How many outlets provide battery backup? This model typically offers four outlets with battery-backed protection and surge protection, plus four additional surge-protected outlets. Check labeling on the unit to confirm exact configuration for your model.
• Can it protect a gaming PC and peripherals? Yes. With AVR, surge protection, and a 1200VA/600W capacity, it’s well-suited to protect a gaming PC, monitor, console or media equipment, network gear, and peripheral devices from outages and voltage fluctuations.
• Does it support automatic shutdown? Yes. When connected via USB to a computer running compatible software, the UPS can perform automatic safe shutdown during extended outages or when battery life is low.
• Is the battery replaceable? Yes. The UPS uses a maintenance-free sealed lead-acid battery that can be replaced when its runtime declines with age and usage. Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or following the manufacturer’s replacement guidelines.
• What is the typical transfer time? Transfer time—the interval between a power outage and the UPS switching to battery backup—is usually a few milliseconds. This rapid transition helps keep computers and sensitive electronics stable during power events.
• How do I monitor the UPS status? Use the USB connection and PowerAlert software to monitor load, battery health, and runtime in real time, and receive alerts if the power conditions change.
