Question: Can anyone tell me more about the alarm? Why does it go off and will it turn off when power returns?
Document: Bought this backup battery surge protector to protect our directv receiver. Used it for 2 months. When power went out in the middle of the night a beeping sound goes off that you can not turn off. Like you cant tell the electricity is out you need the battery backup to beep continuously all night? Really? Then after only 6 weeks, the power didnt go out and one day it just starts beeping, wont stop, and the only thing lighting up is that the battery is not good????
If the power goes out for a couple of minutes at night, it wakes me up to tell me about it. What a stupid design.On some of the better APC UPSs, you can connect a computer and turn off the beep, but the BE350G doesn't have a USB port and it seems wasteful to buy a huge UPS just to power a cable modem.
I ordered this for my new computer, and we had a power flicker just a few hours after I set it up! It worked perfectly. There is software included that will let you check the status of the battery and tell the unit what to do if it loses power (such as turn off the computer). Very useful!Two things to note:1) Make sure you connect the battery!
I bought one of these to keep my TiVo up when the power flickers. I cannot tell you how many times that the unit alarm starts going off at night. I check the unit, power it off, and then try to power it back on. The unit alarm keeps going off. The only way to get is started back up is to unplug everything, power the unit back on, and plug the TiVo back up.I thought that maybe it was the particular unit that I have.
For the money I couldn't turn this down, and I was right not to. I have frequent power fluctuations at my residence and this has not only ended that frustration, but also lets me know when they occur. Turns out there are a lot of tiny ones as well that don't always knock out your electronics, but can damage them over time. I would recommend this is a working solution to anyone with my problem. It has three battery supported plugs and three regular plugs.
For the rest of this, this product would be immensely more enjoyable if we could plug it in and forget about it as it quietly protects our electronics against power surges....or had a physical button to turn off the alarm.
Standard UPS, not much to it. Well made and works the way it should. I wish I could turn the beeping alarm off; I dont always need to know that the power is out.
This is the only UPS I've been able to find where you can completely turn off the alarm... No audible alert when the power is not supplied and no alert when it completely shuts down. Perfect to feed a bedroom DVR. But you have to make sure this setting is active using the PowerChute software.
Not pleased with this product. The alarm will sometimes start sounding (a long, high, continuous beeeeeeep), perhaps caused by a power surge in the line, and there's no (practical) way to turn off the alarm except for shutting down your computer and turning off the UPC.I bought a UPC for uninterrupted workflow during power surges, and instead it causes more hassle than it prevents.
If you need enough power to continue working, buy a generator! I have also seen some complaints about how hard it is to attach the battery - I didn't have any difficulty doing so (turn the unit over so the battery comes loose, slide the connector onto the empty terminal, then slide the battery back into the case). Other complaints are about how loud the alarm is, how hard it is to insert plugs, and that some systems don't stay powered.
Answer: There will be a few reasons why your alarm may go off. Upon initial set up the system will test itself and check the battery, During this time you may hear the alarm. If everything checks out okay the alarm will stop and the battery will be on charging until needed. During regular operation you may hear the alarm because the system continues to do checks sporadically, about once a week. During a power outage the alarm will sound informing you that the system is on battery backup power. When the power returns the alarm will shut off. If the system finds any trouble such as the battery dying or the battery depleting itself during a power outage the alarm will go off more rapidly. If you receive a constant alarm that means that there is an issue with the battery, or you have overloaded the system with too many devices, which will not allow the unit to function on battery backup power. I hope you find this your question.
