Description
Tripp Lite's POS500 standby UPS system offers surge suppression and long-lasting battery support, ideal
for Kiosks, Point-of-Sale, Network Workstations and standalone PC applications. Special housing with
rear-facing outlets fits into limited height and width UPS compartments in kiosks and other equipment
housings. Internal UPS circuits maintain AC output during power failures and severe brownout conditions
so that connected equipment can be properly shut down without data loss. Includes 3 battery-supported
outlets for computer, monitor and one vital system peripheral, plus 3 additional surge suppression-only
outlets for printers and other system accessories not requiring battery support. USB port enables optional
unattended system shutdown without data loss in case of extended power failure; cable included. HIDcompliant USB interface enables integration with built-in power management and auto shutdown features
of Windows and Mac OS X. PowerAlert software available via FREE download. Built-in single line phone
suppression protects modem, fax machine or other peripheral with a standard dialup/DSL phone
connection. Built-in audible alarm and 5 LEDs indicate line power status, battery power status, battery
low/replace, overload and site wiring fault status. 500VA/300W power handling ability supports point-ofsale equipment, kiosks, network workstations, small business phone systems and desktop PC equipment.
Compatible with Tripp Lite's Watchdog system service to restore operation to locked equipment through
soft reboot of application/OS or hard power off/on reboot of connected equipment - ideal for unattended
kiosk applications. Offers 4.9 minutes battery runtime with a full load of 500VA and 15.8 minutes with a
half load of 250VA. Supports user battery replacement via built-in access panel. $150,000 Ultimate
Lifetime Insurance (U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico only).
