Core specifications

VIDA Armour 1000VA 600W Line-Interactive UPS – 6 AC Outlets, 6ms Transfer Time, USB, 2x RJ-45, LCD Display – Black

This UPS uses a line-interactive topology. It actively corrects under-voltage and over-voltage on the mains supply before it reaches your kit. That means steadier power during normal operation and battery backup when conditions worsen. With six outlets available, you can protect an entire workstation from a single unit.

Six outlets cover a full workstation setup

Two C13 coupler outlets sit alongside four standard Type G (BS 1363) sockets. This mix lets you connect a PC, monitor, router, and several peripherals without extra adapters. Because the unit plugs into a standard UK wall socket, installation is straightforward.

Fast transfer time keeps everything online

A 6 ms transfer time means the switch from mains to battery happens in under one cycle of UK power. Most desktop power supplies bridge gaps this short without dropping out. So your computer, router, or NAS continues without interruption or data loss.

Built-in surge protection on every outlet

The Armour 1000VA includes surge protection across all six outlets. Voltage spikes from switching events or lightning are absorbed before they reach your connected hardware. This additional layer helps extend the working life of your equipment.

LCD display puts system status at a glance

The front-panel LCD shows current load, battery charge level, mains voltage, and operating mode. You can check everything without installing software. Two RJ-45 ports also protect your network lines from surges, giving you another layer of defence.

Cold start lets you power up without mains

Cold start allows you to turn on the UPS and connected equipment using battery power alone. This is useful during extended outages when you need to boot a PC briefly to save critical work. The UPS sounds an audible alarm to remind you it is running on battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long will the batteries keep my computer running?

A: Run time depends on your load. At half load, expect several minutes — enough to save work and shut down properly.

Q: Can I replace the batteries myself?

A: Yes. The unit uses two standard 12 V 7 Ah VRLA batteries that are user-replaceable.

Q: Should I plug a laser printer into the UPS?

A: Laser printers draw large surge currents on startup. We recommend plugging them directly into the mains.

Q: What happens when the batteries run flat?

A: The UPS switches off and sounds an audible alarm. It resumes normal operation once mains power returns.

Q: Does it work with UPS management software?

A: The USB port lets most operating systems detect the UPS natively. Third-party management software is also compatible.

Q: How long does a full recharge take?

A: After a complete discharge, the batteries need approximately eight hours to recharge fully.
