This 2U rack/tower convertible unit features pure sine wave output, Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), and eight NEMA 5-15R outlets to support servers, storage, networking equipment, and commercial applications.
With its SmartConnect Ethernet port, the UPS enables cloud-based remote power monitoring and management. The multi-function LCD status control console provides clear visual indicators for battery status, load conditions, and system alerts. The unit's 1000VA/900W capacity ensures adequate runtime for graceful shutdowns during power outages.
Designed for business environments, this UPS includes comprehensive connectivity with USB, serial, and EPO ports for flexible integration. The Energy Star certification confirms energy efficiency, while the RoHS compliance ensures environmental responsibility. The included rack mounting brackets and removable support feet allow immediate deployment in either rack or tower configuration without additional hardware purchases.
Technical Overview
This line interactive UPS operates with 120 V AC input and output, supporting an input voltage range from 82 V AC to 144 V AC. The pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive electronic equipment, while the 0 ns transfer time provides seamless power switching during grid fluctuations.
The unit includes comprehensive connectivity options: a SmartConnect Ethernet port for network management, a USB HID-compliant port for direct computer communication, a serial port for legacy systems, and an EPO (Emergency Power Off) port for safety integration. The surge energy rating of 600 J offers additional protection against power spikes.
The battery system uses a single lead-acid battery with user-replaceable design, providing up to 14.8 minutes of runtime at half load (450W) and 8 minutes at full load (900W). Typical recharge time is 3 hours after complete discharge. The UPS supports connection of up to five external battery packs (SMX48RMBP2U) for extended runtime requirements in demanding environments.
