Anybody connect an uninterrupted power supply(UPS) to their Sommer opener? Contacted Sommer, but they didn't give any info on connecting an UPS.

I have a power surge protector -- just in case there is a lightning storm and if it knocks out the motor I will not be a happy camper. An extension of this arrangement means, a UPS may work. I see why not. Principle is the same. Actually, a UPS is a smart move.

This does not directly apply to the THD question... Out of the box, this generator was producing a 63 Hz signal, which was at the edge of what my UPS would allow to go through (so it would usually just beep without powering the sockets). By adjusting the idle screw on the generator, I could get this down to the 60 Hz +/- 1.5 Hz range, which was good enough to get the UPS to start outputting. However, it still ran mostly on battery, either because of low voltage or, perhaps, THD (I have not hooked up a multimeter, and the UPS does not report the incoming voltage). I borrowed a generic 5500 W generator from a friend that was purchased at Home Depot, which does not have this problem - once I tweaked the idle screw, my UPS started and ran off AC power almost constantly.

It does not need additional supply, however, I would buy cheap UPS (from Costco) so that it can stay up for for few minutes. I would check the Amp requirement on your circuit as they do consume a bit more power. I am running 4 of them at my shop. Thanks

I seriously doubt you are using anywhere near your power supplies rated maximum. I have a 1000 watt PS connect to this UPS. Normally, it draws less then 300 watts. Even gaming, I've rarely seen it over 500.

I agree with Derrick Davis, it all depends on how much you are running on it. The UPS is only designed to run long enough for a proper shutdown of the computer in case of a power outage. A minute to save your work, a minute to shut down should be all you need.

No, it's not like other ups with easy battery access. For the price, you would replace the unit if the battery goes out.

None - it's USB. From their site: "The user selectable ECO mode removes power to computer peripherals connected to the ECO designated outlets when the UPS detects the computer, connected to the UPS via USB, is turned off or in sleep mode."

It's a normally no contact. Makes contact when you hit remote. The active side is isolated and can use receiver power or opener power. It dose need 24v ac or dc you can use a plugin adapter or if you have 24v on operator you can tap into that it's universal. Hope that helps.

This UPS is rated at 750VA (volt amps which is 750 watts). However due to phase mismatch as a result of powering capacitive and inductive loads, the actual power available from the UPS may be less that the rating. Also remember that you will probably put more than the Dell XPS 8500 on the UPS; examples would be monitors, backup drives, powered speakers, and non-laser printers. (Do not put laser printers on a UPS, they pull too much power.) Add up the power requirements of all the equipment to be powered, and if about 50% of 750VA it should be OK. Also remember that run time of the UPS is related to the load - the greater the load the shorter the run time. Will it work with the Dell XPS 8500 - YES, if that is the only device being powered, but if not calculate the power requirements and your expected run time.

UPS as in universal power supply? The device is set to power itself off after 30sec or so of no data transfers, seemes to me like you might have a problem with usb on your computer mine worked flawless out of the box, make sure yours is not set to esata mode one front button jumps between usb and esata so if its left in esata it will turn off it you dont have esata

I have a UPS on my computer and like it because it keeps the machine running with momentary power and brown outs. This UPS also has surge protection so I have not added a Furman here. But on my stereo system I have one, and another one on our big screen TV. I am very confident they are protecting all that equipment. There should be no reason you cannot put one in line with your UPS. It would add additional protection.

Item connecters work on any hardrive, but the power supply will eventually not function, mine worked for one use, two yrs ago so now I hook up a desktop psu to hd to with Vantecs adapter to get it to work, its my mode... Wouldn't recommend!!!! :(

No experience with that issue. I actually have mine plugged in to my UPS so it has never lost power.

The one HP unit probably will do the job. Suggest you contact Sommer dealer direct or a garage door service company in your area who is familiar with Sommer openers.

Yes you can buyer up your TV with it but it is optimized for.... uninterruptible power supply (UPS) safeguards PCs and other electronics (monitors, modems, and VoIP routers) from blackouts, brownouts, surges, spikes, sags, and other power abnormalities.

It did not work for me. I tried returning it but UPS didn't pick up and I still have it unused.
