Why is this UPS a Good Investment?


The success of any organization depends on critical information systems like servers and network hardware. If your critical systems don't have reliable power, employees can't work, communications go down, automated systems malfunction and productivity grinds to a halt. It would be nice if utility power was always reliable, but it isn't. Between severe weather, the aging electrical grid and unavoidable hazards lurking inside your own walls, your servers and network hardware are under constant attack from power problems. Even a brief loss of power or a momentary surge can damage your equipment, corrupt your data, bring down your network and hurt your bottom line.

The potential costs of downtime are alarming. Surveyed averages range from $1,167 per minute for mid-size businesses (IDC) to $7,908 per minute for larger operations (Ponemon Institute). For a tiny fraction of these costs, you can prevent damage, downtime and data loss by installing this SmartPro® UPS system. It conditions incoming AC power to protect your equipment, provides enough battery backup to outlast most outages and allows critical systems to shut down gracefully to prevent data loss and corruption during extended blackouts.

Common Applications

Protect Equipment with Active PFC Power Supplies

Active PFC power supplies found in many devices require pure sine wave power.

Pure Sine Wave Output

When operating from battery power, a UPS system generates the waveform of its AC output. Many UPS systems generate PWM sine wave power, an approximation of the pure sine wave power you receive from your electrical utility. Although PWM sine wave power is compatible with most equipment, pure sine wave power is required by some devices -- such as computers with active PFC power supplies -- and prevents others from overheating, malfunctioning or failing prematurely. This UPS system generates pure sine wave power for superior compatibility with active PFC power supplies and other sensitive equipment.

Expandable Battery Backup

  • Half-Load Runtime: This UPS system will support a 50% load (2000W) for up to 38 minutes using the included batteries.
  • Extended Runtime: This UPS system allows you to connect one or more optional external battery packs to provide additional backup runtime. Some external battery packs can also be daisy-chained, allowing you to scale runtime to match any application requirement.
  • Hot-Swappable Batteries: You can add or replace batteries without turning off the UPS system and disrupting the operation of connected equipment.

Advanced AVR and Surge/Noise Protection

In locations with chronic voltage problems, frequent switching to
battery drains reserve power and shortens battery life. This UPS system
has a feature called automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that solves
the problem. The UPS detects when input voltage is out of bounds and
corrects it without using the battery.
All Tripp Lite UPS systems also include built-in surge protection and
noise filtering to shield your equipment from destructive transient
voltages and electromagnetic (EMI/RFI) line noise.

Flexible Management Options

There are several ways to manage this UPS system:

  1. Use the front-panel LEDs for convenient local management.
  2. Use the USB port with your computer's built-in power management features.
  3. Use the USB or serial port with your computer and Tripp Lite's PowerAlert ® software. PowerAlert provides enhanced features like automatic file saves, event notification, logging, advanced device control and an SNMP agent that supports centralized management. Select UPS models include a convenient CD-ROM, or you can download the latest version of PowerAlert for free at Tripp Lite's website.
  4. Install an optional network card to enable standalone network management via SNMP, Web, SSH or telnet. The network card has an Ethernet port and embedded interface, allowing you to access advanced monitoring, control and notification features without directly connecting the UPS system to a computer. The network card also supports connecting one or more optional sensors for remote temperature, humidity and contact closure monitoring. (Available network cards and sensors include WEBCARDLX with E2MT, E2MTDO, E2MTDI and E2MTHDI sensors and SNMPWEBCARD with ENVIROSENSE sensor. Refer to each model for specific features.)

This UPS system also has eight switched outlet banks, allowing you to reboot locked devices remotely or turn off nonessential loads during extended outages to provide additional runtime.

Eco-Friendly Design

  • High Efficiency: This UPS system saves energy, produces less heat, shrinks your carbon footprint and reduces annual operating costs.
  • User-Replaceable Battery: This UPS system has a user-replaceable, recyclable battery, allowing it to remain in service instead of going to a landfill.
  • RoHS Compliance: This UPS system complies with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive, limiting theuse of hazardous substances in manufacturing.

LED Control Panel

The intuitive multicolor LEDs display a variety of helpful and important information, including power status, voltage regulation status, connected load level, battery charge level and battery condition.
