whats the diff between xs1500 and this bx1500?
I can't find the model number listed on APC's site. CompUSA says the unit is a BX1500, but I come up with nothing when I search APC's site. The closest thing I find is
this.
Exactly what did I buy!?
Found this in the APC knowledgebase:
Question
This document will compare the differences between Back-UPS RS (Models BR1000 and BR1500) with the Back-UPS XS (Models BX1000 and BX1500)
Answer
There are basically 2 differences between the Back-UPS RS and the Back-UPS XS models besides their names.
1. The Back-UPS RS models have both 1-line 2-wire phone/fax/modem data-line protection and 10/100base-T ethernet protection, where as the Back-UPS XS models only has 1-line 2-wire phone/fax/modem protection.
2. The Back-UPS RS models have both Boost* and Trim** as features of Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), where as the Back-UPS XS only has Boost. When the input voltage increases above the high transfer point of a Back-UPS XS model it will only go to battery.
*AVR Boost: The UPS is compensating for a low utility voltage. While the UPS can run in this mode indefinitely without any negative impact on the UPS, the circuit should be checked by a qualified electrician if the utility voltage is consistently low.
**AVR Trim: The UPS is compensating for a high utility voltage. While the UPS can run in this mode indefinitely without any negative impact on the UPS, the circuit should be checked by a qualified electrician if the utility voltage is consistently high.
