Suggestions for UPS power backiup

[BilGe]

Yesterday it happened again ... I am SERIOUSLY annoyed!

The power at my house failed twice in about 30 seconds. The total outage was only 40 seconds or so. The first outage was only 5 seconds, then the power was on for about 15 seconds, then it went out for about 30 seconds. When it was all over, my RSP-1068 had reset itself to factory settings. Over the years this has happened several times. The RSP-1068 will normally remember settings through a power failure (I get power blinks on average once a week), but every now and then something happens to make it do a complete factory reset.

It will take me an hour or more to get all the settings put back in it, assuming I remember what they all are. ARGH!!!! Adding insult to injury - I need to reset my ATSC tuner and display monitor as well.

I have tried ordinary stepped sine wave computer UPS units. The RSP-1068 will not stay turned on when such a unit is running on batteries. It appears to need a "pure sine wave" type of UPS. Prices have come down quite a bit. The last time I looked sucha unit was well over $1k.

Question: What do you all use to protect your settings against power failures?

I found this on Amazon. It is representative - there are over a thousand hits for other items like it. Would this or something like it work?

You need a UPS made for audio, not computer equipment. Look at audio UPS products from the likes of APC, Panamax, Belkin PureAV and Furman Sound.

Look for an online style UPS. One that the components feed off the battery at all times, not one that switches over during a brownout or blackout.

Hi Glen - The two items you provide links to both say they are "Simulated Sine Wave" output. Is that adequate? The CyberPower device that I linked to says it is "Pure Sine Wave". Have you used these devices to protect an RSP-1068 or similar?

Hi Face - Price is an object. Online UPS systems are quite a bit more expensive than a standby. This problem is annoying ... but not $600 annoying!

How about this device? It is the upper end of what I am willing to spend. APC is pretty proud of their systems.

I have one like this that my monster power center is plugged into. Works just fine for me.

Furman highest end power conditioners all around for a year now.

But for a UPS I would only get this one:

My reason is simple, we got hit by lighting on Labor Day last year and only the computers behind this survived.
Even the 12 headset Uniden base station survived, with the RJ-11 circuit sacrificing itself to protect the unit. I am
impressed, very impressed. TrippLite are pure xxxx, did not save my gaming Alienware rig and the
living room setup, State Farm got me the top of the line Aurora to replace it (or money for it).
