Interested in reviews of APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (FR)? It got 4.1 out of 5 stars from our customers. Find specific customer reviews of APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (FR) below. We will appreciate if you also share your experiences with APC Back-UPS BX 1200VA (FR) after purchasing.
- as some have written, ups really stinks even after a year and a bit of operation. - it is relatively quiet, but it is not 100% for a completely quiet room if you like peace and quiet. say 90% noise level ok (even when running on battery it is quite ok)
- the first piece quit after about a year and a bit of operation (the output voltage on the battery fluctuated and sometimes the ups switched to "standby mode" with beeping and flashing even when the power supply was 220V ok -> it was necessary to turn the ups off and on (the battery was ok)
-> it was enough to call the Czech apc support, where (for today) you can call just fine, a person talks to you and mainly tries to solve the matter. Afterwards, I sent an email ticket to support to resolve the issue, followed by a notification that it would be resolved by replacement, which happened within a few days. First the DHL courier delivered a new UPS and now the original broken one is waiting to be taken away. Support is therefore 100% even when it comes to home resp. small business ups what you wouldn't expect
unexpectedly good service support
the replaced piece is definitely better with smell
it smelled a bit after a year of use
in a quiet room the noise is audible, but it can be
after purchase I had to complain - it did not back up
it beeps like crazy and won't shut off
after 2 years it went down the drain - a piece of crap; I would advertise again, but I can't anymore (not for nothing it has about an 8% complaint rate! )
lights up like crazy and can't be turned off or dimmed significantly
I wonder where the GDR comrades went wrong in this case
SW not clear and not in CZ localization (in 2024! )
and I bought it for my wife and returned it because it didn't work either and I left her PC without UPS
the fact that it is lit would not matter, but it heats up quite a lot, even when it is not powering anything. I definitely recommend not to put anything on it.
It works fine, but the next time I look for a new backup power supply, it probably won't be APC, especially if it should also heat like this and without the ability to deactivate the audible alarm. On older models, it could be switched off at the back. Why the whole front has to glow green (so strongly that it illuminates the whole room) I really have no idea. The indicator light in the button is sufficient.
Long endurance under low load
USB communication
Even with absolutely minimal load it heats up like a fool (on the surface permanently >40°C)
Cannot turn off the audible alarm
It shines unreasonably brightly on all sides (the two green stripes on the front panel) -> taped over with insulation
APC is an established company, UPS communicates, basically fulfills its finkction.
Of the three UPSes I bought, one of them has a failing battery after less than a year and if the power goes out, everything shuts down in about 2 minutes. Load 10% (about 8W gateway, router, switch). The other two UPS (so far) work without any problems. Alza should really pay attention to battery suppliers!
UPS purchased for NAS (Synology 923+). They communicate very well - when the battery is low or the UPS is without power for a defined period of time, the UPS switches itself on after the power is restored and starts the NASka via wake on power. Connectedness.
The UPS was delivered to me a day later than promised and therefore during a (planned) power outage. I don't know how much it was charged from the factory, I plugged in a modem + router and it managed to power for 2 hours (and I worked /home office/ on my laptop from my own flashlight), for me super.
Others mention the smell, I didn't notice. It's a bit grumpy for that (the transformer? ), nothing terrible, but you can hear it in the silence. Not recommended for the bedroom/living room.
I haven't gotten to the configuration software from the laptop yet to see what can be set there, I'm only reading the status information to Home Assistant via the NUT protocol.
When the power goes out, it beeps 4 times every 30 sec, which can be cancelled by holding the power button for 1s, but the next time it beeps again. Hopefully it can be adjusted in the configuration.
Support for NUT monitoring via USB (compatible with Home Assistant)
