Product Features
Technical Overview
This SmartOnline UPS operates with single-phase 230V AC input and provides a configurable output supporting voltages from 200V to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz. Its 98% efficient ECO mode reduces operating costs and heat generation. The unit is equipped with a comprehensive set of receptacles: two NEMA L6-20R and two NEMA L6-30R outlets, plus hardwiring capability via an included cable gland.
A valve-regulated, hot-swappable lead-acid battery system supports 3 minutes of runtime at full load and extends to approximately 8 minutes at half load, providing critical time for graceful system shutdowns or generator start-up. The integrated LCD display and four status LEDs deliver clear system status, while multiple management interfaces—including a network card slot, USB, RS-232, and dry contacts—enable local and remote monitoring, configuration, and automated shutdown procedures.
