OPTIQUEST ANNOUNCES NEW "OPTI-UPS E SERIES" OF UPS WITH OPTI-SAFE+ UPS
COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE

Value And Performance For PCs, Workstations And LAN Servers

WALNUT, Calif., April 12, 1995 -- Optiquest, Inc. is introducing today the
'OPTI-UPS E (Enhanced) Series' of line interactive uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS) with Enhanced Interface (EI) communications. The OPTI-UPS E
Series provides battery backup power, line conditioning, surge protection
and EI communications to computers and other sensitive electronic
equipment. The OPTI-UPS E Series is designed to protect standalone
personal computers, workstations and local area network servers from power
interruptions such as blackouts, sags, surges, noise and brownouts.

The OPTI-SAFE+ UPS communications software and the first two OPTI-UPS E
Series models, the Model 280E and 420E, are available at list prices of
$99, $139, and $199, respectively. A third UPS, the Model 650E will be
shipping in June with a list price of $299.

The EI communications, in conjunction with Optiquest's new OPTI SAFE+ (UPS
communications software), permits the user to monitor input/output
voltage, AC input/output frequency, battery voltage/capacity and percent
load in either a dashboard gauge or functional block diagram format. The
user can select a self-test feature which automatically tests the
operation of the UPS without interrupting or degrading system performance.
This self-test will alert the user of any system malfunction, and informs
the user when the batteries need to be replaced. When a power failure
occurs, OPTI-SAFE+ alerts users on the network to save their work. At the
same time, OPTI-SAFE+ broadcasts an alarm message to users at every alarm
interval and sends a message via E-mail or notifies a user/system manager
via pager.

The new OPTI-UPS E Series incorporates automatic voltage regulation (AVR)
to automatically correct under-voltages and over-voltages without using
battery power. AVR protection maximizes backup time and extends battery
life by saving battery power for extended power outages.

Smart UPS At A Standby Price

"The OPTI-UPS E Series is the first UPS line designed to give the user the
performance of a smart UPS at the price of a standby system," said Steve
Miller, Optiquest's UPS product manager. "With EI communications and AVR,
the OPTI-UPS E Series offers superb performance and the most complete
power protection for networked or standalone systems."

Other features include a user-replaceable, hot-swappable battery;
user-configurable operating parameters, site wiring fault indicator;
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) application readiness; and
Optiquest's optional "FAX ALIVE" for FAX machine power protection.

All OPTI-UPS E Series models are UL, CSA and VDE approved and include a
three-year limited warranty. Optiquest also offers a $25,000 protected
equipment guarantee with its OPTI-UPS E Series products.
