Product Features
Technical Overview
This double-conversion online UPS continuously conditions incoming AC power, converting it to DC and back to clean AC output, eliminating voltage fluctuations and frequency variations. The 230V output is stabilized through this process, providing consistent power quality for 230V-compatible equipment. Two sealed lead-acid batteries supply backup runtime, with hot-swappable design enabling field replacement or expansion via external battery packs.
Management interfaces include USB for local configuration and a dedicated RJ-45 network port for integration into existing network management systems. The SmartSlot accommodates additional communication or environmental monitoring cards, while the temperature probe supports thermal monitoring of the protected environment. The unit operates within a 0–40°C range with automatic thermal protection.
This section brings together practical product details such as Number of Battery & Surge Outlets, Load Capacity (VA), Load Capacity (Watt), Output Voltage, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the difference between double-conversion online and other UPS topologies?
Double-conversion online UPS continuously converts incoming AC power to DC and back to clean AC, providing zero transfer time and complete isolation from input power anomalies. This contrasts with line-interactive or standby UPS that only engage battery during outages, making double-conversion ideal for sensitive medical, server, and network equipment.
How many external battery packs can be connected for extended runtime?
This Smart-UPS SRT model supports up to 10 external battery packs (SRT192RMBP2) to significantly extend backup duration. The hot-swappable design allows battery expansion or replacement without shutting down connected equipment, enabling runtime customization based on load requirements.
What management capabilities does the included network card provide?
The embedded web/SNMP management card enables remote monitoring of power status, runtime, load levels, and environmental conditions via network interfaces. It supports graceful shutdown of physical servers, virtual machines, and hyper-converged infrastructure, and includes a one-year secure subscription for enhanced management features.
Is this UPS compatible with 230V three-phase power input?
Yes, this unit is designed for 230V AC output and typically connects to 230V single-phase or three-phase input configurations common in commercial and light industrial settings. It provides pure sine wave output suitable for active PFC power supplies in servers, storage, and network gear.
What is the typical recharge time for the internal batteries?
The typical battery recharge time is 1.5 hours under normal operating conditions. This fast recharge capability minimizes downtime between power events and ensures the UPS is ready for subsequent outages, maintaining optimal backup readiness.
Can this UPS be used in tower configuration if rack space is unavailable?
Yes, the unit is rack/tower convertible with the included rail kit. It can be deployed as a standalone tower where rackmount installation is not feasible, providing flexibility for diverse IT environments while maintaining the same power protection performance.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
The listed power specification is 8 kVA, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
How many outlets are available?
