Built-in voltage regulator and universal outlets that accept several plug types, with no adapter. Battery life of around 6 minutes at half load, operating at 40 dB.
Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) — corrects variations without draining the battery
4 universal outlets — several plug types, with no adapter
A desktop UPS to protect a complete workstation: line-interactive with voltage regulation and 1600 VA / 900 W. Technology & protection: it switches to battery the moment the power fails, absorbs surges and corrects voltage dips and spikes without drawing on the battery. Power: 1600 VA for 900 W of usable power — a PC, one or two monitors and their accessories. Runtime: about 6 minutes at half load (450 W) — time to save your work and shut down properly. Outlets: 4 universal outlets — they accept several plug types, no adapter needed. Ideal, for example, for an office workstation, a broadband router or a point-of-sale system. Remember to check how much power your equipment draws and to choose the rating according to the runtime you need.

Frequently asked questions about this product
What are the BX1600MI-MS's universal outlets?
Outlets that accept several plug types without an adapter: you plug your devices straight in, whatever the format of their cord. There are four of them, and this is what sets this model apart from UPSs with IEC outlets.
How long does the BX1600MI-MS run on battery?
It depends entirely on what is plugged in: at full load, 900 W, it lasts one minute. The more headroom you leave between your actual consumption and that limit, the longer the runtime — which is why it pays not to load it to the maximum.
Why does 1600 VA only give 900 W?
Because the power factor is 0.56: only a little over half of the apparent power is actually usable. So it is 900 W that you should compare with the combined consumption of your workstation.
Over what voltage range does the BX1600MI-MS's AVR correct?
Between 140 and 300 V. Within this range, the automatic regulator brings the voltage back to its normal value without drawing on the battery, which thus stays full for real power cuts and wears out more slowly.
What waveform does the BX1600MI-MS output?
An approximated sine wave, built up in steps, not a pure sine wave. Transfer takes 6 milliseconds typical and 10 maximum, a gap that a computer power supply absorbs without a hitch.
Is the BX1600MI-MS's battery replaceable?
Yes, under part number APCRBC176. It is a 24 V lead-acid pack, rated for 3 to 5 years of service, and a full recharge takes 8 hours.
Can the BX1600MI-MS be mounted in a rack?
No, it is a tower unit, to stand on the floor or under a desk: 14 cm wide, 39 deep and 19 high, weighing 10.3 kg. For an IT cabinet, you need a model specified as rack-mountable.
Is the BX1600MI-MS noisy next to a workstation?
No, it is rated at 40 dBA, the level of a quiet room. Its surge protection reaches 273 joules, and it operates between 0 and 40 °C with no special ventilation requirements.
Is the APC Back-UPS BX1600MI-MS new and under warranty?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document, for 2 years. It meets the EN/IEC 62040-1 and 62040-2 standards and is supplied with its power cord. The datasheet covers the rest.
