UPS requirements for Merlin Plus key system

[Gabilini]

I need to attach an UPS to a 16 station/6 line Merlin Plus system. Can anyone tell me the power requirements that I would need to purchase in a UPS that will accomodate a power outage/surge to the key system?

That is going to depend on how long you want to keep the system up for. The UPS would be very different if you wanted 10 minutes compared to 10 days....

I would just need about 10 minutes. This location is experiencing power surges and the key system will go down and then come right back up. would like a ups to prevent the down/up especially when people are having phone conversations.

I checked this, but they don't list Merlin Plus systems. Would you happen to know the amps/volts of this system and then I can go back to the UPS people to see if they can calculate size?

has a calculator and great tech support. They can help you find what you need. On our small partner systems I install the 2200 smart switches.
