Re: 270 Power supply

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is the UPS both a surge & sag protector? Many older UPS's don't protect
if power sags but does not fail. Also, hopefully you do not have a laser
printer in the same UPS. Lasers and the way they cycle & warm up will
kill many UPS's and if not a great UPS, whatever is attached.
I work from a home office and found certain appliances cause a sag, and
have had to get a good UPS to handle it.
