Dynixis — Home Backup Power and UPS | dynixis.com
An ordered procedure: list devices, read wattage, add headroom, pick a rating.
Start by listing every device you want kept alive through a cut. For a typical home setup that means the computer, the monitor, the router and often a modem — each one needs its own line on the list.
Read the wattage from each device's label. If only amperage is printed, multiply amps by the supply voltage to get watts. Sum the values; a laptop and router often land well under 100 W while a desktop with monitor sits in the 200–400 W range.
Add 25–30% headroom to the total. Headroom keeps the UPS off its ceiling, where runtime collapses, and absorbs the startup surge some devices draw when mains power returns.
On narrow screens, swipe or scroll the plate sideways.
Choose a unit rated at or above the adjusted total. A rating far above the load buys extra minutes; a rating close to the load buys seconds. Match the rating to the runtime you actually need rather than to the largest number available.
Check the runtime curve at your real load. The minutes quoted on the box refer to a specific test load — usually the unit's full rating or half of it — not to your setup.
Set up the shutdown routine before you need it: a save-and-power-off habit or script means the 5 to 15 minute window ends with a clean shutdown rather than an abrupt cut.
