Eaton Tripp Lite SmartOnline 6000VA UPS with Stepdown Transformer and Maintenance Bypass

Protect critical IT infrastructure, edge computing, and network equipment with the Eaton Tripp Lite SmartOnline 6000VA UPS. This online double-conversion, rack-mount uninterruptible power supply (UPS) delivers clean, continuous power to servers, storage, switches, and telecom gear, guarding against outages, surges, brownouts, and line noise. Designed for high-availability environments, it combines a robust 6kVA/5.4kW capacity with a step-down transformer and a maintenance bypass, ensuring seamless maintenance without power interruption. With 120/208V output, a versatile mix of outlets (5-20R, L6-20R, L6-30R), and L6-30P input, this SmartOnline system is engineered to meet the demanding needs of IT rooms, data centers, and edge deployments while delivering reliable runtime options and advanced management features. Its 6U enclosure is optimized for rack installations, enabling a compact footprint without compromising performance or serviceability.

• Unmatched power quality — online double-conversion topology converts incoming AC to DC and back to conditioned AC with near-zero transfer time, ensuring clean, regulated output even during grid disturbances.
• High-capacity, versatile input/output — 6000 VA / 5400 W with 120/208V output and multiple outlet configurations (5-20R, L6-20R, L6-30R) plus a rugged L6-30P input connector to cover diverse IT racks and equipment layouts.
• Stepdown transformer + maintenance bypass — integrated transformer step-down provides voltage regulation for sensitive gear, while the maintenance bypass enables safe, hands-free servicing without shutting down critical loads.
• Network management and monitoring — a built-in network card supports remote monitoring, safe shutoff, and alerting to help IT teams stay informed and compliant with service level agreements.
• Extended runtime options — designed for growth, this unit supports Extended Run capabilities, allowing longer operation during an outages with compatible battery packs, keeping essential services online when longer outages occur.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series SmartOnline 6000VA UPS

• Plan your rack layout to allocate 6U of space for the UPS chassis and ensure adequate airflow around the unit. Confirm rack mounting rails are appropriate for the enclosure size and weight.
• Mount the UPS securely in the rack using the supplied hardware. Verify that the unit is level and the mounting screws are tight to prevent vibration during operation.
• Connect the L6-30P input power cable to a suitable circuit with proper amperage as per your local electrical code. Route the cable to minimize stress and avoid interference from other high-draw devices.
• Attach your IT equipment to the 5-20R, L6-20R, and L6-30R outlets. Distribute critical devices across the outlets to balance load and ensure graceful shutdown in UPS failure scenarios.
• Install and configure the included network management card. Connect the card to your management network, install any required software, and set up notifications, shutdown policies, and SNMP alerts.
• Connect optional accessories such as Extended Run battery packs if you need longer runtimes. Configure runtime settings and testing schedules to validate performance under different load scenarios.
• Power up the system and perform a controlled self-test. Verify output voltage, battery status, alarm indicators, and software integration with your data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools.
• Document the installation, including load distribution, runtime expectations, maintenance schedules, and contact information for on-site personnel, ensuring quick reference during incidents.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the main benefit of an online double-conversion UPS with a step-down transformer? It continuously isolates and conditions power, delivering clean, regulated voltage to sensitive IT equipment. The step-down transformer helps stabilize voltage for devices that require a lower, consistent level, while the maintenance bypass allows service without power interruption.
• What outlets are included and how do I connect devices? The unit provides a mix of outlets: 5-20R, L6-20R, and L6-30R to accommodate varied equipment. An L6-30P input connection is used to feed power from the building utility to the UPS. Distribute critical devices across outlets to maintain uptime during outages.
• Does the SmartOnline 6000VA come with a network management card? Yes, it includes a network management card for remote monitoring, alerting, and controlled shutdowns, making it easier to manage from a central IT operations center.
• Can runtime be extended beyond the built-in battery capacity? Yes. The unit supports Extended Run configurations with compatible external battery packs, enabling longer operation during extended outages for essential services.
• Is this unit suitable for rack-mount installations? Absolutely. The 6U rack-mount enclosure is designed for standard server racks, delivering compact, accessible protection without compromising performance.
