Tripp Lite by Eaton 700VA 480W Line-Interactive UPS - 8 NEMA 5-15R Outlets, AVR, 120V, 50/60 Hz, USB, RS-232, LCD, Tower

When dependable power matters most, the Tripp Lite OmniSmart OMNISMART700TSU delivers reliable battery backup and sophisticated protection for your essential electronics. This 700 VA / 480 W line-interactive UPS is purpose-built for small businesses, home offices, and digital signage deployments where downtime translates to lost data, interrupted operations, or missed opportunity. With automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct voltage swings without drawing on the battery, it shields sensitive devices from brownouts and overvoltages, reducing wear on components and extending the life of connected equipment. The OMNISMART700TSU is designed to handle a mix of devices—from desktops and servers to IP cameras, routers, switches, and security panels—providing an organized, user-friendly, and cost-effective power protection solution.

• The line-interactive topology uses AVR to maintain a stable output voltage across a wide input range, helping critical systems stay online during voltage fluctuations and preserving battery life for times when you really need it. This feature minimizes unnecessary battery drain and ensures a smoother shutdown process, even during moderate power disturbances. With a clean sine-wave-like output, sensitive electronics operate with fewer errors and less risk of data corruption during outages.
• Eight 5-15R outlets offer versatile connection options for workstations, peripherals, networking gear, and security equipment. This abundance of outlets allows you to consolidate protection for essential devices in one compact unit, reducing clutter and simplifying setup. Whether you’re protecting a single PC and monitor, or a small network rack, the OMNISMART700TSU keeps critical components powered and protected under a single roof.
• User-friendly monitoring is at your fingertips thanks to a built-in LCD panel that clearly displays input voltage, output voltage, load level, battery charge, and estimated runtime. The LCD provides real-time feedback so you can assess battery health, predict how long you’ll stay up during an outage, and quickly identify when it’s time to replace the battery. This intuitive interface minimizes guesswork and makes it easy for non-technical users to manage power protection effectively.
• Connectivity that matters for modern IT and office environments is built in. A USB port and an RS-232 port enable seamless communication with a computer or network management system for safe shutdowns, event logging, and status monitoring. With this dual-interface approach, you can integrate the OMNISMART700TSU into a variety of software environments and ensure orderly, automatic shutdowns during extended outages.
• Compact, stable tower design makes installation flexible. The compact footprint fits neatly under desks or on shelves, while the tower form factor provides stable operation in a variety of environments. The UPS is designed for continuous operation in office spaces, small server rooms, reception areas, or retail kiosks, and it includes reliability features such as surge suppression and line-noise filtration to protect both the UPS itself and the devices connected to it.

How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton 700VA 480W Line-Interactive UPS

Setting up the OMNISMART700TSU is straightforward and designed to minimize setup time while maximizing protection. Follow these practical steps to ensure a secure and efficient installation that protects your equipment and provides reliable runtime during outages.

• Position the UPS on a stable, level surface near a grounded 120V wall outlet. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, behind furniture, or in a location with excessive vibration or heat.
• Connect the UPS to a dedicated wall outlet using the supplied power cord. This ensures consistent input and prevents nuisance tripping from on-site power demands.
• Plug critical devices into the UPS outlets. Prioritize you primary workstation, monitor, router, modem, and key network gear to maximize uptime during an outage.
• Connect the USB and/or RS-232 cable to a computer or network device for monitoring and controlled shutdown. Install any provided management software or drivers as needed to enable automatic shutdown and event logging.
• Power up the UPS and use the LCD panel to verify input voltage, load percentage, battery status, and estimated runtime. If the runtime is lower than expected, check for excessive load, reposition devices, or consider battery replacement when the schedule indicates.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does this UPS protect against?

  A: It protects connected devices from power outages, brownouts, surges, and line noise, with AVR actively regulating voltage to keep equipment safe and stable during disturbances.

• Q: How many outlets are available on the OMNISMART700TSU?

  A: It provides eight NEMA 5-15R outlets to support multiple devices such as a workstation, network gear, and peripheral equipment in a single unit.
