Eaton Ellipse ECO power protection

Eaton Corporation has released the Eaton Ellipse ECO. With its EcoControl function, the Ellipse UPS delivers energy savings of up to 25% compared to previous-generation products. This is achieved through EcoControl’s ability to automatically disable peripherals when the master device is turned off.

The Ellipse ECO provides compact power protection for various business-related electronic equipment, such as PCs, workstations, telephony equipment and point-of-sale terminals. Like its predecessor, the Ellipse ECO features offline topology and protects office applications against the most common power interruptions, such as power failure, sags and surges.

Available for UPSs with USB connectivity, the EcoControl function is activated and configured using the included power management software. The UPS is equipped with one master outlet for a desktop PC and either one or two EcoControl outlets for non-critical peripherals.

Customers will also benefit from the Ellipse ECO’s advanced surge protection, a feature of Eaton products.

The Ellipse ECO has an extra-flat design and a wide range of mounting options, including vertical box format for installation under a desk, a horizontal desktop stand for under-monitor use as well as the possibility for rack or wall mounting with optional installation kits. As with previous models, the Ellipse ECO’s compact size means that it can easily be installed in environments with limited space.

There are five power ratings available: 500, 650, 800, 1200 and 1600 VAs. The 500, 650 and 800 models have four outlets - three with surge protection and battery backup, and one with surge protection; the 1200 and 1600 models offer four outlets with both surge protection and battery backup, and four with surge protection.

The Ellipse ECO is compatible with all common personal computer operating systems, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The latest power management software updates can be downloaded from Eaton’s website.
