Description
Vida Armour 1200VA Line-Interactive UPS (720W) with LCD Display, AVR & 6 Outlets
The Vida Armour 1200VA UPS is a reliable line-interactive uninterruptible power supply designed to protect PCs, office equipment, routers and CCTV systems from power cuts, brownouts and voltage spikes. With a 1.2kVA / 720W capacity, built-in Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), fast transfer time and clear LCD status display, it helps keep your equipment running safely and gives you time to save work and shut down properly during outages.
It’s ideal for home offices, small businesses and system-integrator builds where stable power and surge protection reduce downtime and hardware risk—especially in areas with unstable mains supply.
Summary
Vida Armour 1200VA (720W) is a line-interactive UPS with AVR, LCD display, 6 total outlets (UK + IEC), and USB monitoring, providing battery backup and voltage regulation for PCs and networking gear. It uses 2× 12V 7Ah sealed lead-acid batteries, supports DC cold start, and includes RJ45 in/out protection for network lines.
Key Features & Benefits
- 1200VA / 720W capacity – suitable for desktops, monitors, NAS, routers and small office loads
- Line-interactive topology + AVR – helps stabilise voltage without switching to battery as often
- Fast transfer time – switches to battery in ≤ 6ms (typical spec)
- LCD + LED indicators – quick view of power, battery, load and fault status
- 6 outlet total – 3× UK mains sockets + 3× IEC sockets for flexible connections
- USB monitoring – connect to a PC for monitoring/shutdown via software
- RJ45 surge protection (in/out) – helps protect network-connected devices from line surges
- DC cold start – start the UPS on battery power when mains is unavailable
Performance & Protection
Battery Backup Runtime
Backup time is load-dependent; typical listings quote around 15–20 minutes depending on connected equipment and power draw—ideal for safely saving work and shutting down.
The UPS uses 2× 12V 7Ah maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries, with recharge to ~90% capacity in around 8 hours (typical spec).
Surge + Voltage Protection
Designed for everyday protection, it includes surge and voltage safeguards such as over/under-voltage protection and surge protection, plus a relay cut-off feature noted in supplier specs.
Connections & I/O
Outlets
- 3× UK mains sockets
- 3× IEC outlets
Monitoring & Line Protection
