Because Life Always Needs to be On.
Provide an emergency power supply for your electrical equipment to protect your investment from unexpected power disruption, including spikes, surges and voltage dips.
Power Surge Protection: Stabilises the main electrical line voltage to your devices.
Refined Power Supply: Protects connected devices from dips and spikes caused by lightning.
Instant Power: Power to your equipment the exact moment the power goes out, protecting you from data loss or unexpected interruption.
Ensure reliable uptime and clean power for your critical devices.

Protect Your Investment

Modern households have become increasingly dependent on personal devices and technology. Now more than ever, it is critical that those devices are protected with clean, reliable power and that households have redundancies in place to sustain their usage, even in the case of a power outage.

Home Offices

Protect professional equipment including high-end desktops, home office PCs, workstations and network-attached storage.

Point of Sale

Protect your point-of-sale (POS) equipment including business critical workstations and machines.

Smart Home

Protect Smart Home devices including smart speakers, home security and surveillance cameras.

Additional Features

Reduced Costs and Maintenance

Network grade power conditioning protects from damaging surges and disruptive noise. Solid state automatic voltage regulation boosts low input voltage up to 30% and trims high voltage up to 12% without battery operation. Reliable battery back-up capacity to power through outages or gracefully shutdown systems.

Battery-protected and surge-only outlets

Reserves power capacity and run time for connected equipment that require UPS battery back-up while providing surge only protection for less critical equipment.
