Product Features
Technical Overview
This SmartOnline UPS employs double conversion online topology, which continuously conditions incoming AC power to DC and then back to clean, regulated AC. This process ensures complete isolation from utility noise, spikes, and frequency variations, providing the highest level of power quality. The unit features a unity output power factor of 1.0, allowing it to support more connected equipment without overloading its capacity rating.
Comprehensive management capabilities are built in, including support for SNMP, SSH, and Telnet protocols for remote monitoring and control. An optional WEBCARDLXMINI network card can be added for enhanced web-based management. The front panel houses a large 5-inch color LCD touchscreen that provides intuitive access to status information, diagnostics, alarm settings, and configuration menus. Four LED indicators offer at-a-glance status for AC mode, bypass, battery, and fault conditions.
