• Reliable 700VA / 450W backup power delivers a steady supply of clean, filtered energy to essential devices during short outages or brownouts. With a line-interactive topology and automatic voltage regulation (AVR), the UPS stabilizes incoming voltage to protect equipment from surges and sags, reducing the likelihood of unexpected system resets. Four convenient outlets provide ample room for critical devices while keeping nonessential gear isolated from downtime risk. The result is a smoother operational workflow in busy medical settings, with the confidence that vital equipment stays powered when it matters most.
• Medical-grade LiFePO4 battery technology uses Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry for a longer life cycle, faster recharge times, and enhanced thermal stability. LiFePO4 batteries are known for their safety profile and stable performance over many charge-discharge cycles, making them well-suited for healthcare environments where reliability and predictable backup times are essential. The SMART700HGL’s battery design supports repeated outages and orderly shutdowns, helping protect patient data, preserve device state, and minimize downtime in prolonged blackout scenarios.
• UL 60601-1 compliant with hospital-grade plug options ensures the unit aligns with medical electrical safety standards when connected to appropriately configured outlets. This compliance, along with its isolation characteristics, helps safeguard both patients and equipment from electrical noise and stray currents. In clinical corridors, clinics, and hospital rooms, this UPS provides an added layer of protection for critical monitoring and IT hardware, enabling safer integration into medical workflows without compromising safety or performance.
• Full isolation and isolation-transformer benefits minimize electrical interference between connected devices and the power source. This feature is particularly valuable for sensitive medical electronics and data-rich IT gear that require clean, stable power for accurate readings and reliable operation. The combination of full isolation with LiFePO4 backup ensures devices operate with minimal noise, improved surge protection, and better overall protection against transient disturbances common in healthcare facilities.
• Easy USB connectivity and management for orderly shutdowns The built-in USB interface enables communication with PCs and compatible software for graceful shutdowns and status monitoring. This simplifies IT administration in clinics and hospitals, where preserving patient data integrity is critical. Lightweight, compact, and straightforward to deploy, the SMART700HGL fits neatly on a desk, workstation, or utility cart, offering hospital-grade protection without sacrificing space or convenience.

How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 700VA Medical-Grade UPS

Setting up the SMART700HGL is straightforward, designed for quick deployment in clinical workspaces and IT closets alike. Follow these steps to maximize uptime and protect connected equipment:

• Step 1 — Choose a safe installation spot: Place the UPS on a stable, level surface near the devices it will protect. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit and keep it away from heat sources to preserve LiFePO4 battery life. Position the unit so outlets are easily reachable for device connections and maintenance.
• Step 2 — Connect protected equipment: Plug critical devices into the UPS’s four outlets. Prioritize essential equipment such as patient-monitoring displays, medical workstations, routers, switches, and servers. Do not overload the unit; spread loads across outlets to maintain stable backup performance during outages.
• Step 3 — Connect to power and network: Plug the UPS into a properly grounded wall outlet (or hospital-grade outlet if required by your facility’s policies). If you intend to monitor or control the UPS from a computer, connect the USB cable to the device and install compatible UPS management software to enable automated shutdowns and status alerts.
• Step 4 — Configure monitoring and alerts: Use the USB interface or bundled software to enable runtime reporting, battery health checks, and automatic shutdown sequencing for connected equipment. Set notification thresholds for low-battery events so critical devices transition safely without data loss during longer outages.
• Step 5 — Test the system: With connected devices powered, perform a controlled test by simulating a power outage. Confirm that the UPS transitions to battery power and that critical devices continue operating for the expected duration. Verify that any managed shutdowns occur as planned and that logs reflect the event for auditing and compliance purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What makes the SMART700HGL suitable for medical environments? A: It combines medical-grade safety standards (UL 60601-1 compliance when used with hospital-grade outlets), full isolation to reduce electrical noise, and LiFePO4 backup chemistry for reliable, long-cycle performance—ideal for patient-care and IT devices that require consistent uptime and safe handling.
• Q: What type of battery is used and how does it impact longevity?
