+ABOUT THE KIN SERIES
Reliable power protection in a compact form factor.
KIN Series UPS units safeguard sensitive electronics from common power fluctuations and outages using line-interactive technology in a space-saving design.
The KIN Series delivers dependable power protection and battery backup in a compact chassis ideal for crowded AV racks and equipment closets. Its line-interactive design actively corrects incoming voltage fluctuations, providing a stable AC output without constantly draining the battery. This preserves battery life for when it is needed most during a complete power outage.
In addition to backup power, KIN Series units provide surge protection and AC line filtration to safeguard connected equipment from damaging power events. Features like user-replaceable batteries extend the service life of the hardware, protecting your investment and ensuring long-term operational reliability.
WHY IT MATTERS
What makes the KIN series different.
01
Active voltage regulation preserves battery life.
The line-interactive topology corrects voltage sags and swells without switching to battery power. This extends the battery’s service life and ensures maximum runtime is available for a full outage.
02
Space-saving 1U design for crowded equipment racks.
The KIN 1000’s compact 1U chassis fits into tight spaces, providing critical backup power and protection without requiring significant rack real estate, a key benefit for integrators.
03
Engineered for protection and serviceability.
With 320 Joules of surge protection and up to 50dB of AC line filtration, the KIN series protects sensitive gear. User-replaceable batteries allow for easy on-site service, extending the unit’s operational life.
FAQ
Your questions, answered.
Common questions about the KIN Series UPS.
Are the batteries in the KIN series units user-replaceable?
Yes, the KIN series is designed for long-term serviceability. The batteries are user-replaceable, allowing for simple on-site maintenance without needing to take the entire unit out of service or ship it for repair. This feature extends the operational life of the UPS and protects your investment by making it easy to refresh the backup power system after the batteries reach their end of life.
Does the KIN series offer more than just battery backup?
Yes. Beyond providing backup power, the KIN series is an effective power conditioner. It offers 320 Joules of surge protection to safeguard equipment from damaging power spikes. It also provides up to 50dB of AC line filtration to clean up electrical noise that can interfere with the performance of sensitive audio and video gear, ensuring a more stable operational environment for all connected devices.
How does the KIN series help with space management in crowded racks?
The KIN 1000 is engineered with a compact 1U rack-mount chassis. This design is a significant advantage for integrators working with limited space in equipment closets or mobile AV racks. It allows for the addition of critical battery backup and power conditioning without sacrificing valuable rack real estate needed for other system components, simplifying rack layout and design.
What is a line-interactive UPS and why is it used for AV equipment?
A line-interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) like the KIN 1000 actively corrects common voltage fluctuations, such as sags and swells, without switching to battery power. This is achieved using an integrated buck-boost transformer.
For AV systems, this design is critical because it extends the battery’s service life and ensures maximum runtime is available for a full power outage. This allows for the safe, orderly shutdown of sensitive electronics, protecting both the equipment and the integrity of the system’s operation.
What kind of equipment is the KIN 1000’s 600W capacity designed to protect?
The KIN 1000 provides 1000VA / 600W of capacity, which is ideal for protecting essential AV and IT components within a rack. This typically includes network switches, small control processors, media players, and other devices that require a safe shutdown procedure during a power loss.
It is engineered to maintain control and network infrastructure during an outage, rather than supporting high-current devices like power amplifiers or large video walls.
What remote monitoring options are available for the KIN series?
The KIN series includes a built-in RS-232 communication port for direct data network interface and management. For more advanced network monitoring, the unit is SNMP capable via an optional external SNMP card.
This allows the UPS to be integrated into network management systems for remote monitoring of status, load, and battery health, providing greater operational visibility for system administrators and technicians.
