Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V 1.5kVA 900W Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS

The SMART1500SLT SmartPro 120V Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS delivers dependable battery backup and comprehensive power protection for essential electronics, networks, and data integrity. Designed to safeguard VoIP systems, point-of-sale terminals, and network equipment, this tower UPS combines reliable sine-wave output with intelligent management features to keep critical devices running smoothly through outages, sags, and disruptive surges. With 8 outlets, USB and DB9 connectivity, and optional Network Management Card support, it’s an ideal power-protection solution for small offices, home offices, and workspaces where downtime is not an option.

• Reliable backup power with sine-wave output: The SMART1500SLT provides 1.5 kVA / 900 W of backup capacity and delivers a clean, continuous sine wave output even during brownouts or blackouts. This ensures compatibility with sensitive electronics and prevents data loss that can occur with stepped or simulated waveforms.
• Eight outlets for versatile protection: Eight total outlets offer flexible protection for critical devices. A mix of battery-backed and surge-protected outlets lets you prioritize essential equipment (servers, modems, switches, POS terminals) while still safeguarding other peripherals from power spikes.
• Full-featured connectivity and monitoring options: Built-in USB and DB9 serial ports enable direct communications with a PC or server for seamless shutdown management. Optional Network Management Card support (NMC) provides remote monitoring and control over a LAN, SNMP, or web interface, making it easy to oversee power events in distributed environments.
• Advanced power conditioning and protection: Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) keeps output stable when input voltage fluctuates, while surge protection and line-noise filtration guard connected equipment from damaging spikes and electromagnetic interference. The UPS also helps protect data lines and connected devices from short circuits and surges.
• User-friendly installation and management: Tower form factor with straightforward setup, intuitive indicators, and compatible software for Windows and macOS. The system supports graceful shutdowns, event logging, and configurable alerts, helping you manage energy usage and protect critical data with minimal effort.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V 1.5kVA 900W Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS

Follow these straightforward steps to install and configure your SmartPro UPS for optimal protection:

• Place the UPS on a stable surface in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources and moisture. Ensure there is clear air flow around the unit to prevent overheating.
• Connect the UPS to a dedicated wall outlet using the included power cord. Avoid using extension cords or power strips for the UPS input to ensure proper charging and protection.
• Plug critical devices into the battery-backed outlets to maximize runtime during an outage. Connect non-critical devices to surge-only outlets if available.
• Connect the USB cable (and/or DB9 serial cable) from the UPS to the computer or server you want to monitor. Install the supported PowerAlert software on the connected system to enable automatic shutdown, event notifications, and power-management features.
• If you plan to monitor remotely, install and configure an optional Network Management Card (NMC) in the available slot, then connect the card to your local network. Use the card’s web interface or SNMP settings to monitor UPS status, events, and battery health from anywhere on the LAN.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What devices should I protect with this UPS?
  A: Protect critical devices such as servers, network equipment (modems, switches, routers), VoIP phones, point-of-sale terminals, and workstation PCs. Use the battery-backed outlets for devices that must stay online during outages.
• Q: Does this UPS provide clean sine-wave power for sensitive equipment?
  A: Yes. The SMART1500SLT delivers a pure sine-wave output in on-battery mode, which is important for sensitive electronics and modern power supplies that require stable waveform characteristics.
• Q: Can I monitor the UPS remotely?
  A: Absolutely. The UPS includes USB and DB9 serial ports for direct management, and it supports optional Network Management Card for remote monitoring over a network, including SNMP and web-based interfaces.
• Q: How do I safely shut down my systems during an outage?
  A: Install PowerAlert or compatible software on connected systems to automatically initiate a safe shutdown when battery power drops to a user-defined threshold. This protects data integrity and avoids hard shutdowns.
• Q: Is the UPS easy to upgrade or expand for a growing network?
  A: The SMART1500SLT is designed for flexible protection in office and home office environments. With external monitoring options and a tower form factor, it supports scalable protection for evolving networks and devices.
