Description
The POWERCOM BNT-600AP Black Knight series is a compact, line-interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) designed to safeguard critical hardware. With a 600VA/360W capacity, it bridges the gap during power outages, allowing for safe shutdowns. Its integrated AVR stabilizes fluctuating voltages without depleting the battery, extending the lifespan of both the UPS and connected devices.
This product is for:
- Remote workers needing to protect desktop PCs and networking gear from sudden power drops.
- Small business owners requiring uptime for Point of Sale (POS) systems and credit card terminals.
- Students and researchers ensuring that unsaved data on workstations is not lost during local grid instability.
- Home entertainment enthusiasts looking to shield gaming consoles and smart TVs from voltage spikes.
- IT technicians seeking a cost-effective power solution for entry-level servers or NAS devices.

- Weight: 6.0 kg (Net)
Operating the BNT-600AP is straightforward thanks to its LED status indicators and audible alarms that signal battery mode, low battery, or overload conditions. The unit operates quietly, maintaining noise levels below 40 decibels, making it suitable for quiet office environments. The inclusion of ABM technology optimizes charging cycles, ensuring the battery remains healthy over long-term standby use.
Compared to the entry-level BNT-500A, the BNT-600AP offers a higher 360W load capacity and adds essential RJ11/RJ45 data line protection, which is absent in non-AP models. While the larger BNT-1000AP provides double the runtime with two batteries, the BNT-600AP maintains a significantly smaller footprint, making it the ideal choice for space-constrained desks where only a single PC and monitor need protection.
Q&A:
- How long will the BNT-600AP power my computer during an outage? Runtime depends on the load; a standard office PC typically receives 5-10 minutes of backup time, sufficient for saving work and shutting down.
- Does this UPS protect against lightning strikes? Yes, it includes built-in surge and lightning protection to prevent high-voltage spikes from reaching your equipment.
- What is the benefit of the AVR function? Automatic Voltage Regulation corrects low or high voltages to a safe level without switching to battery power, preserving battery life for actual outages.
- Can I connect a laser printer to this UPS? It is not recommended to connect laser printers to small UPS units like the BNT-600AP due to the high initial current draw during printing.
- How do I know when the battery needs replacing? The UPS features a battery management system that will trigger an audible alarm if the battery is low or failing its self-test.
