In today’s digital age, uninterrupted power is more than just a convenience—it’s a necessity. The Lightwave LW 2000VA 3‑Pin UPS offers top-tier protection for your home office, small business, or critical electronics setup. Combining reliable backup power, automatic voltage regulation, and a thoughtful design, this Lightwave LW 2000VA 3‑Pin UPS ensures your valuable devices continue to run smoothly during power disturbances.
With a 2000 VA / 1200 W rating, this Lightwave LW 2000VA 3‑Pin UPS is engineered to support multiple power-hungry devices—think desktop PCs, monitors, networking hardware, servers, and home-entertainment systems . It’s robust enough for heavier loads yet efficient for smaller setups, offering you flexibility.
Line-interactive topology: Automatically adjusts voltage dips and surges via built-in AVR, keeping you on mains power without draining the battery
Balances power quality and battery life by using AVR in low-fluctuation scenarios.
The built-in boost-and-buck AVR ensures a consistent 230 V output even when input voltage fluctuates between 170–300 V
This protects against brownouts (low voltage) and overvoltage spikes without relying on the battery, thus prolonging its health.
When mains power fails, the Lightwave LW 2000VA 3‑Pin UPS switches seamlessly (in milliseconds) to battery mode, providing pure sine-wave output—crucial for sensitive devices like PCs, monitors, and audio/video gear
Simulated sine-wave alternatives can cause instability or damage; this UPS avoids that issue entirely.
Equipped with temperature-compensated charging, this Lightwave LW 2000VA 3‑Pin UPS adapts to ambient temperatures to maximize battery performance and lifespan.
Typical recharge time: around 3 hours to full charge after a deep discharge .
Ensures readiness for frequent backup use.
Cold-start capable: allows you to power devices even without mains input—great for remote or off-grid setups
Green mode reduces voltage draw during stable conditions, saving energy
A clear LCD status display or LED indicators show real-time info—input/output voltage, battery status, load condition, and fault alerts
Audible alarms notify low battery, overload, or switching to battery.
A USB communication port (available in some variants) enables connection to PCs for detailed monitoring
Typical configuration offers:
Multiple outputs: 4–6 IEC-320-C13 battery‑backup outlets and often 1 IEC‑320‑C19 outlet
Surge and overload protection: Built-in safeguards (300 J rating) defend against lightning, spikes, and faults
Filtering: Full-time EMI/RFI noise elimination keeps your signals clean
Compact tower form: Typically ~430 × 150 × 220 mm, weighing 9–11 kg—light enough for desks or shelves
Warranty: Standard 1-year coverage; some retailers offer up to 2 years .
Temperature rating: Designed to operate between 0–40 °C .
Robust capacity: Handles heavier setups (PC + monitor + router + NAS) with ease.
Seamless AVR: Protects your equipment without wasting battery.
Pure sine-wave backup: Crucial for stable and safe device operation.
Cold-start & energy-saving modes: Adds versatility and efficiency.
Clear interface: Helps you stay informed and in control.
