welcome to my unboxing and first look at a line interactive ups from op to UPS I we had a look at a couple UPS's from them including the beastly one from they're durable series which was loud but beastly more for industrial use as well as one of the more consumer ones this guy right here is a higher end consumer level unit so it has some of the features that you'd expect from a premium UPS like being lined interactive and almost playing what that is in a moment but it doesn't have like an industrial cooling fan going on or you know other things that would make it not really appropriate for home or office use it's also quite a bit smaller and less heavy than that one that we were dealing with to go for so let's see what opti has to say for themselves on the box here this is the 1025 p which means it's good for up to six hundred and fifteen wats line interactive what does that mean line interactive means that if you have crappy power going into the UPS even when it's not running off of battery it will be adjusting and fixing the input voltage for you so that your computer or whatever other devices you have hooked up to it are never going to see ugly dirty power that n over the long term or even the short term damage your components and cause instability line interactive is a must if you have a high-end system and you want to take care of it this one right here simulated sine wave so yes it is not true sine wave or pure sine wave or whatever else the case may be however that doesn't necessarily mean that every active power factor correction power supply is going to just turn off we actually did a fair amount of testing on this with a simulated sine wave ups in the past versus a pure sine wave ups may actually found that the pure sine wave ups we had which is from not get off to UPS but one of the competitors who shall remain nameless was less compatible with active PFC power supplies than the simulated one so it's not as cut and dried as simulated sine wave is bad and Pierce on good so bear that in mind okay read reviews would probably be the best thing that's advice I can get rain it out full rated output made a boo-boo the input voltage range with the rated voltage plus or minus twenty five percent so if your power is like super dirty and it's like a hundred volts or 140 volts input it'll still be able to fix that for you no problem okay output voltage regulation plus or minus five percent on battery that's just fine i mean batteries batteries tough transfer times four milliseconds sort of battery yes i will restart yes it does communicate with your computer so you can use USB in order to there we go to get it to tell your computer hey you know there's no power you're gonna want to shut that down there and shut down properly buddy or uh no bad things are gonna happen that's basically what it says but like in binary ah AVR implicated hmmmm cool it up to the gap for battery backup to bypass outlets okay UPS shuts down at 110% load versus seconds one hundreds of okay overload protection few circuit breaker so overload protection basically 650 watts is good enough for your it's okay remember guys if your computer consumes 500 watts that means this guy hostile put about 600 watts to sustain it because of the inefficiency again at the power supply level so basically this is good for your single tower with one high-end cpu1 high-end GPU this is not for like sli or triple SLI configurations or anything like that especially if you're claiming you have something like your monitor connected to it as well and you got like a lot of peripherals plugged into your board so bear in mind this is for like you know your basic gaming system and not much else they do have much higher in units including from this series they have one that can do up to 900 watts that guy you can do an SLI system no problem and then you know probably your monitor as well and I wouldn't worry too much about it so it's heavy you know then batteries are heavy and that's pretty typical of UPS you've also got an LED readout on this one which on that lower end unit we didn't see so this gives you a lot of useful information including of a battery level as well as what mode the UPS is running in or in what mode the UPS is running I should be making an effort to speak correctly on this channel since you know maybe I'll start minus like English language tips at some point on the back you got your input you have for battery backup and surge protected and actively you know taking care of outputs and then to simple pass throughs just sort of protection no battery backup you've also got Ethernet protection or you can actually plug in rj11 which we would be your phone line so you can protect those as well and there's your USB interface whoops I turned it on ventilation is handled by vents in the side no active cooling on this guy so it's going to be pretty much silent you might get a slight buzz because there's some pretty high-powered stuff going on inside of ups's and I'm just going to check my notes really quick here just blatantly looking at my cheat sheet while slick pretends it's not happening by looking somewhere else jujitsu in the book and yeah I think we pretty much covered everything oh yeah except the included phone cable and USB cable and Sentinel software which you can download the latest on the opti UPS website and I think that pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing the first look and don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from our boxing degrees and other computer videos and don't forget if you have a computer you care about you pretty much should be running it off of a UPS it's not actually that optional there's a couple of things here you might want to know battery mode will sound every 10 seconds low battery will sound every second and overload will sound every point five seconds so you can tell what the alarm means just by listening to it you guys have seen the Fawlty Towers episode then just remember it's a semitone higher
