EDIT: You can get 1.75% from starthere OR
3% from buckscoop ( thanks to sash213 mention it )

For those using Linux follow this link http://blog.dale.id.au/archives/1137. This is what you need to do to get the UPS to work with NUT under Debian.

If a power outage occurred and your computer was not protected by battery backup the following could happen:
• Any changes that you have made to documents or files such as images, videos, email , word or excel files would be lost.
• Any files being saved to the hard drive at the time could become corrupted and unusable.
• Systems files (including temporary files) could become corrupted causing the operating system to become unstable, to the point where the computer won’t function correctly.
• Physical damage to the hard drive can occur. In some cases the files cannot be retrieved.

  • metalhead on 27/01/2012 - 10:37

    Thanks for posting the deal. Very good price. Ive got the 400VA version of this and from memory i paid about $90 for it two years ago. It works, but i realised that 600VA is probably necessary to handle the load of the hardware that I've got.

  • chyawala on 27/01/2012 - 10:38

    Looks good. I imagine they mean the connected equipment guarantee is for lifetime as with other power boards, and then three years on the UPS. If it were only three years on the connected equipment guarantee I would say no deal.

    I bought 2 of the 400VA ones from cotd last year. One of them blew up after a power cut. A call to belkin and a brand new 600VA replacement was at my door within a week.

    A warning though, the ups communication doesn't work on Linux last time I checked.

    • bfg100k on 27/01/2012 - 11:12

      works fine via NUT. I have configured my Ubuntu-based NAS to send me emails and auto shut down when the power gets cut. Only gripe (as mentioned below) is that the unit doesn't inform when its battery go low on power hence I had to use a timer-based script (i.e. after 5 mins) rather than event-based (i.e. when battery gets low) to initiate the shutdown.

      • stumo on 27/01/2012 - 11:36

        Ok. Well I should say I couldn't get NUT to work on the common NAS oses based on Linux I tried. Wha nut configuration files did you use for this ups?

    • Elijha on 27/01/2012 - 12:36

      I have a Synology NAS and was wondering if it would work with the UPS for automated warnings. I'm not sure what it's requirements are [it'd be a linux based OS of some sort I know that much] but would love to know what this ends up working on/with.

      Also is USB how it tells the device to shut down? is that normal I would have thought it would be a Ethernet connection to broadcast to the entire network? Or will I need to choose if it is the PC or the NAS that gets a warning to shut down?

  • Black Hole on 27/01/2012 - 10:56

    good price. I got it for $68 shipped during the MWave rush hour sale. Great size (both capacity and physical). Sustains my 40W NAS for at least 15mins before running out of juice. My only issue with it is that the device cuts off without any warning when its flat. According to the manual, the audible alarm should beep at a faster interval when it is low in power before it finally cuts off.

    EDIT - The only thing I don't like about them is the included software (i.e. the software that you run on your computer, and it shuts down the PC after the power goes out after a few minutes). It uses a java interface and it's a bit fiddly.

  • CarbonTwelve on 27/01/2012 - 12:01

    People should probably note that it only handles a 300W load, so you're probably not going to want to put your gaming rig on one of these. Perfect for a home server though (trying to decide if I want one for my file/download server).

    • MrGareth on 27/01/2012 - 12:26
      +1

      Depends what your gaming rig is though - most CPU's are <100W at max load, and the rest of the computer doesn't use much more than that. It's only if you have uber-powerful GPU's that you'd be worried, and even though, only when they're under load. An machine in idle state (i.e. running the desktop) will generally be waaay under 300W.

      I've got an old E7300, 4Gb RAM, twin hard drives, blu-ray drive, ATI 6850, 24" monitor etc etc being driven off one of these UPS devices :) Mine's not a gaming machine obviously though.

      • Elijha on 27/01/2012 - 12:49

        I admit I get lost easily with power and numbers, but it's been some 8 or more years since I have had a PC with a power supply below 400w. Admittedly I don't know if that's a peak number or consistent but my current machine needed a 1000w PSU due to the HDD [ I have 5] and GFX [a single 2 year old card] load so I'm guessing this device isn't any use for my PC.

        • MrGareth on 27/01/2012 - 12:54
          +3

          Well even if you have a 400W PSU, it doesn't mean your computer is actually DRAWING that much power from it. Same for the 1000W PSU - it only sends out whatever the computer needs, up to a maximum of 1000W. My desktop computer (running on this Belkin UPS) has a 470W PSU, and my HTPC has a 500W PSU. Neither actually use anywhere near that amount though!

          The HPTC is a quad-core 2.5Ghz Core2Duo, with 6 hard drives, a blu-ray drive, ATI 6570 graphics card, 4 HDTV tuners and it's running fine off a 500W PSU, in fact the computer draws waaaaay less than that. I have it connected to an Aldi/Tevion brand 750VA UPS, which is a little bit more powerful than the Belkin 600VA unit being sold here. It's 5 years old now though, the battery is almost dead so I've just bought one of these Belkins to replace it.

          From memory - my desktop machine (the one with the 470W PSU) comes up as I think 15% load on the Belkin's UPS interace when the machine is idling at the Windows 7 destop :) … i.e. it's nowhere near overloading the UPS for me :)

        • toomuchdogfur on 27/01/2012 - 13:17
          +2

          It depends a lot on the quality of the PSU. No-name brands (or infamous brands coughSHAWcough) are usually terribly overspecced, hence why people were uncomfortable with having smaller PSUs. But with the recent 80+ PSU certifications, its now a lot easier to separate the duds from the good ones.

          I've got an i5 + 8GB RAM + SSD + 2 HDDs + ATi 5750 GFX on a 460W Antec Earthwatts PSU (80+ bronze) with no issues. My el-cheapo Jaycar power meter tells me I idle at <70W and CPU load at ~150W, CPU + GPU load still < 250W.

          So as long as you get out of that game you're playing reaaaaal quick, you should have enough time to shut down gracefully. :)

      • CarbonTwelve on 27/01/2012 - 14:17

        The system you listed would easily be drawing more than 300W at the wall (remember that you can add another ~25% due to PSU inefficiency). I'd wager between the 6850 and 24" monitor alone that you'd have close to 300W at the wall.

        Even in this thread you've seen people mentioning their UPS blowing up - drawing too much is almost certainly the cause for that.

    • Zaxxon on 27/01/2012 - 12:52

      It says 360W on the box. (but 300W in the 'specs') ?

      • MrGareth on 27/01/2012 - 13:55

        You're right, and I think it really is 360W. Generally you multiple the "VA" by 0.6, so a 600VA unit supports 360W, which matches the picture on the box. :)

    Just a heads up: the software won't work with Mac OS X 10.7. Belkin have no plans to include support at this stage.

    The UPS itself will still work fine with Mac, but it won't be able to automatically shut down the computer.

    • wfdTamar on 27/01/2012 - 17:23

      Just check to see if there is native Mac support (Energy Saver Control Panel).

      • macquarie1 on 27/01/2012 - 17:52

        There is no native OS X support for this UPS, either.

        Apparently the software will work with 10.6 and earlier, but I'm not able to test this.

    Tempted to purchase, but does anyone know after 3 years if you can replace the battery yourself? I cannot seem to find any reference if its user replacable and it seems like a waste to throw it out after the battery reaches EOL.

    • bfg100k on 27/01/2012 - 13:46

      yes, the battery can apparently be replaced by the user according to the manual. However, I have not personally look into that in details (i.e. I have not opened it up to check what sort of battery it requires and where I can buy them from). Honestly, at this pricing, I doubt the replacement battery will be worth the effort.

      • stumo on 27/01/2012 - 15:59

        I have them already (from COTD last year) and the battery is user replacable. Its just one screw and the cover slides off to reveal the SLA battery (Ritar RT1245 in the 400VA ones = 12V 4.5Ah/20Hr). The 600VA has a slightly higher capacity 5.0Ah/20Hr

    For anyone who is serious about protecting their computer I would get a line interactive UPS, this is just a cheap standby UPS, it will also deliver dirty power while on battery, most decent electronics can handle this though.

    For anyone that has a high powered CPU or a video card, this is going to be an instant shutdown for your situation.

    If you want to be able to finish what you are doing before it has to shutdown then you'll need something else.

    Also since this is a standby UPS, this will not protect or filter the power to your computer anymore then a surge protector board, a proper UPS will do a much better job of protecting your computer.

    • MrGareth on 27/01/2012 - 13:58

      I agree with what you're saying, but I want to make a few points:

      • It won't be an instant shutdown, if anything the UPS will immediately tell the computer to shut down. That's still way better than just cutting off the power. The UPS can handle the load of all but the most powerful computers - and the computers would have to be under max load (100% CPU utilisation, 100% GPU utilisation). Even an ultra powerful computer, sitting at idle (i.e. using Word on Windows 7 or whatever) won't load the UPS that much.

      • Thought it lacks line filtering and is more like a standard surge protector, a decent surge protector board is $30 - $40 anyway, so you're not paying much extra to add a big battery to it. I think it's worth it, if you can't afford the uber-expensive deluxe UPS's with actlive line filtering :)

      I do know however that the Belkin unit has kicked it for a split second during brown-outs, so it's been working fine for me :)

      • samfisher5986 on 27/01/2012 - 15:10
        +1

        By instant shutdown I mean by the time you realise you've had a blackout, the computer will likely start to shutdown gracefully, not giving you enough time to finish what you are doing

        (assuming you have a low end machine with no video card etc)

        I'm not saying this is a bad deal or anything, I just mean that the battery backup part of it is only barely useful unless its connected to a laptop or a very low powered device.

        • MrGareth on 27/01/2012 - 15:42

          Nah I've got an E7300, 4Gb Ram, two hard drives, Blu-Ray drive, ATI 6850 graphics card, 24" monitor etc powered off this Belkin unit and it gives mes 5 - 10 minutes before it powers off, well I think anyway. It's not an ultra powerful machine but the modern core i5's (etc) don't use much juice at all during idle. I just assume it's 5 - 10 minutes because it takes me a good few minutes to go outside, check the meter box to see if it's just a circuit breaker, come back inside, save my work, then shut down :)

        • samfisher5986 on 27/01/2012 - 15:49

          You get 5 minutes on a dual core CPU that appears to be idle as i would expect.

          Using that video card or doing something intensive would likely reduce it to 2mins.

          Again this isn't a bad unit, but I just want people to be aware of the flaws.

      If you want to be able to finish what you are doing before it has to shutdown then you'll need something else.

      It's hard to say your comment is wrong outright given the definition of 'high-powered' covers a pretty broad range.

      But to give people a more specific point of reference, here is how this UPS performs with my reasonably high-performance but relatively efficient Sandy Bridge i5-2500K with Radeon 6850, a 3.5" and 2.5" HD, a 24" monitor and separate router and modem:

        Err….

        idle Windows desktop (nothing important to save)

        Monitor at 25% brightness, who does that? most people have it at 60-80% at least.

        regular 2500k (so its clocked down to insane levels at idle)

        router/modem using 7W each

        6850 in idle.

        This is a low powered machine doing nothing, power will increase heavily as soon as it has some work to do.

        There is no use for a UPS in this situation, you have no data to lose, nothing to get interrupted, Windows will just tell you it had an unexpected shutdown.

        TLDR, my mother and her low end machine uses more power then you, its great that it works for you, but for most people it will not last long enough.

        • MrGareth on 27/01/2012 - 15:46

          The thing is, most computer parts are in idle or close to it for most things - i.e. using Word hardly stresses the CPU or GPU, watching a movie these days uses stuff all CPU, and not much GPU load either… same as browsing the web. In most cases the computer may as well be idle, or close to it. Playing a game though is another matter entirely, or transcoding video, etc etc… and in that case a high-end machine won't last long at all with a unit like this.

        • Jabba the Hutt on 27/01/2012 - 16:38

          Monitor at 25% brightness, who does that? most people have it at 60-80% at least.

          People with the U2412m and various other Dell models, which are way too bright to be comfortable at high settings. Mine is probably below average but 30-35 is pretty typical and few seem to go above 50. I actually tested it at 50 while stuffing around with my energy meter and the increase from 25 is only 3W, so it's a moot point.

          There is no use for a UPS in this situation, you have no data to lose, nothing to get interrupted, Windows will just tell you it had an unexpected shutdown.

          "Nothing to get interrupted" is wrong - if I unexpectedly pulled the plug on every home PC being used by an OzBargainer tonight, I'm sure many would consider it something. It mightn't be of the greatest importance in the home context (indeed I argued this in a previous deal), but unexpected shutdowns can still be enough to justify a UPS if you have the money to spare.

          I'm certainly happy to have mine, because despite there rarely being major blackouts in my area, there have been three or four brief power cuts of a couple of seconds to a few minutes since buying the UPS just over six months ago, which the desktop was able to ride out thanks to it.

          For longer blackouts, it serves a different function - allowing time to finish up on the desktop, while providing enough remaining power for the modem/router so the wireless network can run for an extended period, and the other systems in the household (all laptops/netbooks) remain online without a beat being skipped.

    FIRST WARNING - THIS IS NOT MAC COMPATIBLE!

    I bought one of these in December for my iMac and upon installing the software, found that it actually isn't mac compatible. Consequently, any prolonged power failure would not instruct the computer to power down safely.

    SECOND WARNING - IT BLEW UP ON ME!

    After two or three tests of the UPS (by switching off at the wall), the UPS actually made a loud bang and let off some sparks. Probably a few cm away from being electrocuted. It had a burning smell afterwards and forced the power box in my house to auto shut-off.

    Not a happy experience… I returned it straight away for a full refund.

    • samfisher5986 on 27/01/2012 - 15:13

      I have no idea how this one works, but for a regular UPS you can't go over the rated amount without these kinds of problems (the safety stuff is meant to kick in)

      So going over 300W or 600va would have likely caused this problem, something very easy to go over.

        In my situation, an iMac and two to three external hard drives, so hardly anything too power hungry.

      SECOND WARNING - IT BLEW UP ON ME!

      This is the exact same cause of death of one of my 400VA ones. We had a power cut, and afterwards I went to reset the UPS manually because it didn't auto-start like normal, and bang, sparks, smoke, smell, etc.

      But its a tad sensationalist to say you were "a few cm away from being electrocuted". When you actually have been in that situation you will know what I'm talking about.

      Anyway, a quick call to Belkin and a new 600VA model arrived within a week.

      BTW all I had connected to it was my HP microserver, so 20W to 40W under load (60W during startup).

        -2

        Not sure what you mean on this one. I was under my desk with the UPS next to me when it blew up with sparks.

        • stumo on 27/01/2012 - 16:25

          Like I said, you will know what I mean when you have been a few cm from electrocution. We were only a few cm from sparks when these blew up, woooo.

      Yes, they are not pretty. Work for Windows ok. The APC ones are much better.

    • Cluster on 03/02/2012 - 16:31

      Electrocution would be extremely unlikely, but I'd be more worried about internal components catching on fire and the flames spreading to flammable material next to the UPS (carpet, wood flooring, etc).

    Grabbed 2, thanks for posting this.

    Also, you cna get 3.5% rebate from starthere (the new name for moneybackco) http://www.starthere.com.au/shopping/Dick-Smith-Electronics/

    • frewer on 27/01/2012 - 14:55

      How do you get 3.5% ? they only offers me 1.75%. Are you platinum/gold class or something ?

      • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2012 - 15:11

        Anyone who was a member of moneybackco (starthere's previous incarnation) was given "Founder" status with starthere, which gives the biggest rebates. So it's 3.5% rebate for Founder level members, and 1.75% rebate for their "White" level.

    Thanks for the post! I can confirm that OfficeWorks will price-match. I just got 2 for $49 - 5%. Their normal selling price is $109!

    • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2012 - 16:28

      My local Officeworks didn't have any of the 600VA, only 400VA. So instead of saving a few dollars I wasted petrol and my time. Plus Officeworks is crazy busy at the moment with back to school sales, the line was 20 people long and growing with only 2 or 3 on checkout.

        I had 100% the opposite experience. My local Richmond Officeworks store had 4 of them (3 left) and there was about the same amount of people in the store. Scored it at $46.55!

  • theguru1 on 27/01/2012 - 15:33

    Wouldn't this be a better UPS? Yes, the price is higher.

    Eww, DSE Online. I've spent hours in frustration trying to order from DSE. It doesn't support Firefox (won't let you confirm the transaction), or Chrome (randomly changes the QTY on your order if you have more than a couple of items. It seems to work with IE, but the DSE website (not the deal) still gets a big -ve from me.

    • theguru1 on 27/01/2012 - 23:05

      I've bought on DSE online using firefox and had no issues.

      • gummibears on 27/01/2012 - 23:09

        +1 Firefox no worries.

      • gmatht on 29/01/2012 - 11:06

        Sometimes Firefox works for me and sometimes it doesn't. Everytime I have tried to use DSE Online I have had some issue or another. I am surprised nobody else seems to have had issues. shrugs

        • andy19363 on 29/01/2012 - 11:16

          do you have Adblock or similar?

    • skywise on 28/01/2012 - 09:07

      my firefox went through quite smoothly.

    • Neverpayretail on 28/01/2012 - 10:45

      I use only Firefox and it worked just fine for me.

    • Gruelius on 07/02/2012 - 19:59

      was smooth paying for it through DSE + paypal.

      But they sent me a laptop bag and i am 1 more phonecall away from doing a paypal dispute. cant wait to get a new UPS. my servers have been replaced with a microserver, now the APC 1400VA running off two 12v car batteries seems a bit excessive. only now.

    The thing that concerns me is this "Battery Output: Step Sine Wave". What is a step sign wave and is it good for equipment. Also there is no where I can find that show efficiency. My current UPS uses 40W which costs $100+ per year in power. So when buying a $49 vs a $200 UPS it is entirely possible for the savings to be lost several times over every year. Anyone got any figures?
