I have mine hooked up to a UPS (tried it with 2 new UPS systems) and it still turns off when UPS kicks in when power goes out. Anyone had same issue?

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

If you are using the USB3 port, I am not surprised. If you are using Windows, the power saving suspend mode needs to be disabled. This may be what is causing the shut down.

Yes, had the same issue. The problem isn't with the UPS systems but the devices power sync modes. When the computer goes into a low power state, such as kicking from normal power to UPS, it kicks the device into power saver mode and shuts down. I fixed my issue over a year ago and unfortunately don't remember exactly what is was that resolved it, but it was from this forum thread. Good Luck http://forum.mediasonic.ca/viewforum.php?f=22

Make sure you have it plugged into the battery side of the UPS and not just the surge side. The drive bay doesn't care what kind of UPS it's plugged into.

I have mine connected to a UPS as well but haven't had that problem. We don't many power failures here but I suspect something else is going on in your situation. Maybe your UPS is not continually providing power to the Mediasonic unit during the line to battery switchover. I would try pulling the wall power with a meter connected to the UPS outlet to see if there is a momentary loss of power. That's all it would take to shut the unit down.

I got to ask, are you sure it's hooked up to the "Battery" side of the UPS and not the "Surge" part? I don't know what type of UPS you have, but I have had several friends find out the hard way that not all the outlets on the UPS are the same. Roughly only half of the outlets are connected to the UPS's battery while the other half are basically just a fancy surge protector/extension cord type outlets with NO battery back up even though they are a part of the UPS.

There is an internal battery that allows the alarm to operate for some time. The siren in the base unit will sound, but not sirens plugged into wall sockets. I have mine plugged into a UPS, and know it will operate at least 24 hours. It worked fine for me during the last power outage.

Generally yes but it depends on the quality of the output of the generator. The UPS will sense the frequency and voltage of the generator's output. If the output of the generator falls outside the allowable parameters, the UPS will kick in a take over the load. If that happens too often, the UPS's batteries will be depleted and the UPS will shut down until they are recharged.

It acts as a power conditioner, maybe not as good of one, but plugging it in will void the UPS's warranty. And i would also think it would affect the sine wave because of post processing of energy.

Someone already answered this just above you. This was the top one, I think: I unplugged my unit to test it and it came back on. I believe that the on/off switch has to be physically depressed to turn the unit off, so it should come back on when power is restored.

From the CyberPower website FAQ: "No. This configuration is called "daisy-chaining" and will void the UPS's warranty."http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/support/faqs/general-ups-faqs.html

It draws a max of 40W of 110V, so an ups will keep it going for a few hours if sized correctly. Otherwise, when the power fails the unit will not operate at all.

Also, I forgot to mention . . . when I tried to get around the problem and power an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with the Powerland (as a way to protect my electronics), each of the 3 types of UPS's that I tried to use rejected the Powerland's electric as too unstable.

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.

Yes, I have brownouts, surges and out right power outages. It buffers the power flow so you do not power directly from the line. I have my modem, PS4, NAS, and computer connected to the APC. Never had any of them go out during a power outage or surge.

If you mean, can the UPS, if charged, be powered on and used to run electronics when unplugged, the answer is yes. And while I haven't exactly tried it myself, I believe that you can start a computer or other device from "cold" while unplugged as well. The only caveat as far as I know is that it not draw more wattage / VA than the unit can supply during start up.

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."

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?

I don't think this is designed for that type of equipment. It is designed to smooth out power spikes and to keep your PC running for a short period of time in the case of a power outage. It will automatically shut down your pc after a specified period of time in case you are not available to shut down your pc yourself. If you have a power outage, I doubt that you will be watching TV or playing your PS3 until the power is restored. My guess is this UPS would only run your HDTV, PS3, and satellite box for maybe 10 minutes if at all. It all depends upon the number of watts each piece of equipment uses when running.

Uninterrupted Power Supply. Yes, you should be ok to use this with a UPS. It really comes down to what your plugging into the whole system that will dictate how the UPS acts.

My office is extremely silent, and I don't hear anything from my computer. Actually, my UPS just started making the noise you describe, and I noticed immediately. So I can attest that the unit I received is completely silent.

No there are no concerns...I am assuming you are coming off the output side of the UPS......just have to remember that your UPS has a output load and if you exceed that then on a power fault you would lose the protection for your workstation. So if you don't exceed the watts output of your UPS then you are good to go
