The Tripp Lite by Eaton 800VA 475W Line-Interactive UPS is the definitive power protection solution for home offices, media centers, and small workstations. Designed to shield your valuable electronics and important data, this compact tower UPS combines reliable battery backup with robust surge protection, ensuring your devices stay on during outages and are safeguarded from harmful power fluctuations. With an easy-to-read LCD display, USB connectivity for safe shutdown, and a practical eight-outlet configuration, this unit delivers dependable performance for everyday use and critical work. It supports 50/60 Hz networks and 120V operation, making it compatible with power grids around the world while remaining easy to deploy in a variety of environments.

• Power protection you can trust: 800 VA and 475 W of backup capacity deliver immediate battery support for essential devices like a desktop computer, monitor, modem/router, and peripheral gear. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) stabilizes incoming power, correcting brownouts and overvoltages without draining the battery, so your equipment receives clean, consistent output even when the wall outlet fluctuates.
• Comprehensive outlet protection: Eight (8) NEMA 5-15R outlets provide flexible protection for multiple devices—PCs, displays, external drives, networking hardware, gaming consoles, and audio-visual gear. This broad outlet array helps you consolidate protection in a single compact footprint, keeping critical equipment powered during outages and protected from power surges that can damage sensitive electronics.
• Clear visibility and easy management: An integrated LCD screen presents real-time information such as load level, input/output voltage, battery status, and estimated runtime. A USB connection enables graceful shutdown and monitoring via compatible software, helping safeguard unsaved work and minimize risk during an outage while keeping energy management front and center.
• Designed for space-conscious setups: The tower form factor sits neatly on a desk, under a table, or in a media cabinet, offering reliable backup without dominating your workspace. Its quiet operation and compact profile make it ideal for home offices, dorm rooms, small studios, and compact media centers where space is at a premium.
• Peace of mind for data and devices: This UPS is built to protect against data loss and hardware damage caused by power disturbances. It provides seamless power backup during outages, allows you to save work and shut down gracefully, and guards your investment against sudden surges, voltage spikes, and routine fluctuations common to many residential power supplies.

How to install Tripp Lite 800VA UPS

• Choose a stable, well-ventilated location near a wall outlet and away from heat sources or moisture. Position the UPS so the LCD screen is easily readable and the weight is evenly distributed to prevent tipping.
• Plug the UPS directly into a dedicated wall outlet (not into another power strip or surge protector). This ensures maximum battery backup capacity and clean input voltage for AVR to operate effectively.
• Connect your critical devices to the UPS outlets—typically a desktop computer, monitor, and a modem/router. If you have additional peripherals that require protection, place them on the remaining outlets to safeguard against outages and surges.
• Power on the UPS and verify the LCD status. If you have a USB cable and compatible software, connect the USB port to your computer to enable safe shutdown and automatic power management during outages.
• Test the installation by simulating a short outage: briefly unplug the UPS from the wall to confirm that connected devices remain powered for a short period and that the LCD and software report the event. Use AVR during minor fluctuations and monitor battery level to plan for longer outages.
