Product Features
Technical Overview
This SmartOnline UPS employs double conversion online technology, continuously converting AC input to DC and back to AC, providing complete isolation from utility power anomalies. The pure sine wave output maintains compatibility with sensitive server, networking, and medical equipment, while the 0 ns transfer time ensures no interruption during switchover to battery power.
Power specifications include a 1.50 kVA/1.35 kW capacity, 12.50A input current, and 48V DC battery system voltage. The unit accepts 100-120V AC input and delivers 100-127V AC output at 50/60 Hz, with input and output power factors of 0.99 and 0.9 respectively. Surge protection is rated at 190 joules, and thermal dissipation measures 897 BTU/h.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Receptacle Detail, Load Capacity (VA), so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the difference between VA and watt ratings on this UPS?
The SU1500RTXLCD2UTAA has a 1500VA (volt-amp) rating and a 1350W (watt) rating. VA represents apparent power capacity, while watts indicate actual power delivery. The 0.9 output power factor explains the difference, with 1350W being the maximum real power available for connected equipment.
Can this UPS be used in both rack and tower configurations?
Yes, this is a dual-purpose rack/tower UPS. It includes both rack-mounting hardware for standard 2U server cabinet installation and tower support stands for freestanding deployment. The 3.41" height corresponds to 2U rack space, while the 17.33" width accommodates typical rack widths.
What types of equipment are compatible with the pure sine wave output?
Pure sine wave output is compatible with all sensitive electronic equipment, including servers, network switches, medical devices, laboratory instruments, and equipment with active PFC (power factor correction) power supplies. This clean power waveform prevents compatibility issues that can occur with simulated sine wave UPS units.
How is the battery replaced, and what type does it use?
The UPS uses hot-swappable valve-regulated lead-acid batteries, allowing replacement without shutting down connected equipment. The 48V DC battery system typically recharges within 3 hours after a complete discharge. Battery replacement involves accessing the battery compartment while the unit remains operational.
What network management options are available for remote monitoring?
Three management interfaces are provided: dry contact for basic alarm signaling, DB-9 RS-232 for serial communication, and SNMP/HTTP for network-based monitoring. These allow integration with existing monitoring systems, remote shutdown capabilities, and detailed status reporting across IT infrastructure.
What runtime can I expect for typical server and network equipment?
Runtime depends on the connected load. At full 1350W load, runtime is 5.8 minutes, sufficient for orderly shutdown. At half load (675W), runtime extends to 16.5 minutes. For typical server and networking equipment drawing less than full capacity, actual runtime will fall between these values based on your specific configuration.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
The listed power specification is 1.50 kVA, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 100 V AC,110 V AC,120 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
