I'll second the recommendation for the Toshiba 1600 UPS units. I
have two of them and they've carried us flawlessly through numerous
small power outages. Our Delta-V doesn't blink and keeps working
while I spend the next 20 minutes bringing our non-UPS equipped
Delta-S back to life. In the future, every new instrument gets a
UPS...
I bought the last one in early 2015 for around $6500. I specified
exactly what I wanted and our university purchasing department sent
out a request for bids.
regards,
Charles
