Crestron's CEN-UPS1250UPS and Power Conditioner

Crestron has introduced the new CEN-UPS1250 intelligent uninterruptible power supply and power conditioner. In the event of power failure, the CEN-UPS1250 instantly transfers power to battery backup, while protecting components from power spikes, ensuring that data and system settings are not lost and that presentations or other mission-critical operations are not interrupted. Designed to seamlessly integrate with Crestron RoomView software and any 2-Series control system, the device monitors conditions such as power line integrity, rack temperature, and backup battery life, and then reports system status locally, via a touchpanel, through the RoomView software, or by sending automatic e-mails to selected individuals. One CEN-UPS1250 can power an enclosure full of equipment for several minutes without interruption and, in the event of a prolonged power outage, can manage an automatic shutdown of components. MSRP: $2,100.
