    The Ubiquiti UPS-Tower (model: UPS-Tower) is a UniFi-managed, 1,000 VA / 600 W line-interactive uninterruptible power supply designed for network equipment, desktop workstations, and small server environments. It combines automatic voltage regulation (AVR), a hot-swappable lead-acid battery, and a built-in Ethernet management port — providing clean, protected power with native UniFi Alarm Manager integration and Network UPS Tools (NUT) support for automated graceful shutdown and real-time monitoring across both Ubiquiti and third-party systems.


    Key Features of Ubiquiti UPS-Tower

    • 1,000 VA / 600 W line-interactive UPS with automatic voltage regulation (AVR)
    • Five (5) battery backup & surge-protected C13 outlets and five (5) surge-only C13 outlets (10 total)
    • Hot-swappable 12V 9Ah sealed lead-acid battery — replaceable without powering down connected equipment
    • Runtime of approximately 7 minutes at half-load (300 W) and 2 minutes at full load (600 W)
    • Fast 6 ms typical (10 ms maximum) transfer time to battery power
    • Built-in Ethernet management port for network monitoring and control
    • Two (2) surge-protected 1GbE Ethernet passthrough ports
    • UniFi Alarm Manager integration with NUT support for third-party automated shutdowns
    • Cold start support — powers devices from battery with no utility power present
    • Supplied with UK (Type G) power cable


    Product Overview

    Power Capacity and Runtime

    The UPS-Tower delivers 1,000 VA / 600 W of line-interactive power. At full load (600 W), the unit provides approximately 2 minutes of battery runtime. At half-load (300 W), runtime extends to approximately 7 minutes — giving connected equipment sufficient time to complete a graceful shutdown. When approximately 2 minutes of runtime remain, the unit automatically triggers a NUT shutdown signal regardless of current load.

    Outlet Configuration

    Ten IEC C13 outlets are split into two groups: five battery-backed and surge-protected outlets for critical equipment (servers, switches, routers), and five surge-only outlets for secondary devices. All ten outlets provide surge protection.

    Hot-Swappable Battery

    The 12V 9Ah sealed lead-acid battery is accessible from the front panel and can be swapped out while the UPS continues to supply power to connected devices. This eliminates downtime during routine battery replacement and simplifies ongoing maintenance.

    UniFi Integration and NUT Support

    A dedicated Ethernet management port connects the UPS-Tower to UniFi Alarm Manager, providing real-time battery status, power event alerts, and monitoring within the UniFi console. Network UPS Tools (NUT) support extends compatibility to Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD hosts, as well as third-party monitoring platforms such as Home Assistant, PRTG, and Zabbix — enabling automated shutdown workflows without proprietary software dependency.

    Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

    The built-in AVR corrects input voltage fluctuations between 170 V and 280 V without switching to battery. This reduces unnecessary battery cycling, preserves battery life, and protects connected equipment from under-voltage and over-voltage conditions common in many environments.

    Cold Start and Graceful Shutdown

    Cold start mode allows the UPS-Tower to power devices directly from battery with no utility power present — useful for remote deployments or areas subject to extended outages. Graceful shutdown via NUT is triggered automatically when battery runtime falls to approximately 2 minutes.

    Surge-Protected Ethernet Ports

    Two integrated 1GbE Ethernet passthrough ports provide surge protection on data lines as well as power lines, safeguarding downstream network hardware from voltage spikes originating on the network cable.

    Overload and Short-Circuit Protection

    The UPS-Tower tolerates a 110% overload for up to 5 minutes before shutting down, and provides immediate protection cutoff at 120% overload. A built-in short-circuit breaker protects both the unit and connected equipment under fault conditions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does the UPS-Tower run on battery?

    At half-load (300 W) the UPS-Tower provides approximately 7 minutes of runtime. At full load (600 W), runtime is approximately 2 minutes. These figures are designed to allow a controlled graceful shutdown rather than extended operation during an outage.

    Is the UPS-Tower compatible with UniFi Network?

    Yes. The UPS-Tower integrates with UniFi Alarm Manager via its built-in Ethernet port, providing real-time alerts and battery status in the UniFi console. It also supports NUT (Network UPS Tools) for use with non-Ubiquiti hosts and third-party monitoring platforms.

    Can the battery be replaced without shutting down connected equipment?

    Yes. The front-panel hot-swap design allows the 12V 9Ah battery to be replaced while the UPS continues supplying power to connected devices, minimising maintenance downtime.

    What outlets does the UPS-Tower have?

    The UPS-Tower has 10 IEC C13 outlets: 5 are battery-backed with surge protection, and 5 are surge-protected only. It also includes 2 surge-protected 1GbE Ethernet passthrough ports.

    Does the UPS-Tower support NUT (Network UPS Tools)?

    Yes. NUT support enables automated graceful shutdown of Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD systems, and integrates with platforms such as Home Assistant, PRTG, Zabbix, and other NUT-compatible monitoring tools.

    What is the transfer time when mains power fails?

    The UPS-Tower switches to battery in 6 ms typically, with a 10 ms maximum — fast enough to maintain continuous operation for sensitive network and computing equipment.

    Does the UPS-Tower support cold start?

    Yes. Cold start mode allows the UPS-Tower to power devices from battery with no utility power present, suitable for field deployments or areas subject to extended power outages.
