Upsonic PCP 1000
The Upsonic PCP 1000 did not meet the test criteria we outlined in our invitations to this product comparison. The Upsonic is a standby UPS. This UPS kicks in straight away if, for example, the voltage drops below the required amount. On the front of the UPS is a line in indicator, battery on, and fault indicator. There is also a power/ test UPS button. On the back there are three output sockets and a serial connector.
The Upsonic PCP 1000 weighs only 11.9kg and measures only 168 x 110 x 365 (HWD). The Upsonic was one of the more compact UPSs. It was actually smaller than the 750VA UPSs. Its size may give you the impression that it will not last as long as many of the other UPSs. The Upsonic performed a little better than the Sola 325 750 and Powerware 5115 750i. It was not, however, able to get over 30 minutes in the run-down test. The Upsonic managed the shortest run-down time out of all the 1000VA UPSs with a time of 26:27 (min:sec). The Upsonic was the least expensive 1000VA UPS and cost as much to run per minute as many of the other UPSs we reviewed. The Upsonic is only a 600W UPS. It was slightly under powered compared to other 1000VA UPSs.
The Upsonic UPS comes with some good software. SmartMonitor makes it very easy to configure your UPS. The main menu screen is well laid out and all the information you need to know is there. The Upsonic UPS is not a bad UPS. It's a little cheaper than all the similarly rated line interactive UPSs but it does not include many of the features that you will find with a line interactive UPS.
