Fenton PowerPal UPS

PowerPal is recommended for use with standalone PCs, network workstations, and file servers. PowerPal is not recommended for use with  inverters, or any other non-computer equipment that may not function properly with a standby UPS and/or stepwave (squarewave) power source. Not for use with life-support equipment.

280, 425, 660, 1000, and 1400 VA models - plus 1000 and 1400 VA runtime extendible "X"  models and 1400 VA rack-mount "R" model, and optional regular and rack-mount battery banks.  Every PowerPal model has built-in voltage correction for brownout protection - "boosts" low voltages and "bucks" high voltages, extends battery life, and reduces stress on your electronic equipment. Don't be confused by other UPS companies' product lines: APC's Back-UPS models and Tripp Lite's various BC models do NOT provide voltage correction. For APC and Tripp Lite, you have to at least buy the Back-UPS Pro or the OmniSmart in order to get this valuable feature. When comparing Fenton to APC or Tripp Lite, make sure you compare apples to apples!

  • Every PowerPal model has dual RJ11/RJ45 surge protection ports to protect against surges coming through telephone/modem or network 
  • Every PowerPal has an RS232 interface port 
  • Every PowerPal is bundled with  smart software for UPS monitoring and automatic safe shutdown of your computer system. For use with Windows NT, 2000, 98, 95, Novell Netware, Linux, and BSD! Optional software for other operating systems also available. 
  • Fenton's intelligent overload and short circuit protection feature works in both AC and battery operation modes - PowerPal warns you of small overloads and shuts down during short circuit or high overload conditions to protect you and your equipment and to help you avoid nuisance fuse blows.
  • Battery test function and battery replacement indicator.
  • Site wiring fault indicator alerts you to potentially hazardous electrical wiring.
  • User replaceable, hot-swappable batteries for convenient and economical battery replacement (280/425/660 only) 
  • Smart electronic on/off switch lets you turn on UPS with or without AC utility power available -  PowerPal's battery power is available whenever you need it. And the delayed off feature helps prevent accidental turning off of the UPS 
    • 50/60 Hz. auto-sensing 
    • UL and cUL listed for safety and performance
    • Additional features of models L1000/1400: 
  • Four additional visual indicators: boosting voltage, bucking voltage, load level percentage of maximum load, battery charge level as a percentage of full charge Six output receptacles.
  • Circuit breaker for convenient resetting instead of replacing fuse when overload/short circuit.
  • Built-in cooling fan in rear of UPS for optimal battery performance and runtime
