Tripp Lite SmartPro 120V 1kVA 800W Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS

The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V 1kVA 800W Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS is the premier power protection solution built for mission-critical rack-mounted gear. Designed to safeguard servers, network storage devices, telecom equipment, and networking cores, this UPS combines reliable battery backup with clean, sine-wave output that is friendly to precision electronics. In a compact 1U form factor that fits standard racks or can stand vertically, it delivers dependable performance when power quality is uncertain, helping you avoid costly downtime and data loss. With six outlets to accommodate essential devices, and versatile management options—including a WEBCARDLX network interface, USB, and DB9 serial port—it provides both local and remote visibility and control for proactive power protection.

• Premium power protection for critical IT gear. The SmartPro UPS buffers against outages, brownouts, voltage sags, and power surges, giving you time to gracefully shut down servers and keep critical systems online during brief disturbances.
• Clean sine-wave output for sensitive equipment. Unlike square-wave or stepped-approximate outputs, the sinusoidal waveform supports modern servers, switches, NAS, and other loads without clipping, noise, or unexpected reboots, ensuring stable operation even during imperfect power conditions.
• Line-Interactive design with AVR and surge protection. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) stabilizes voltage levels without drawing from the battery for every small fluctuation, extending battery life and delivering steadier power to connected devices while preserving charge for real outages.
• Flexible, integrated management options. WEBCARDLX network interface lets you monitor and manage the UPS via a web browser on your network; USB and DB9 serial connections provide local management for quick configuration and shutdown scripting.
• Rack-ready form factor with practical connectivity. The 1U rack/vertical design integrates into standard IT racks, with six outlets arranged to support essential servers, storage, and network devices, and scalable deployment for growing environments.

How to install Tripp Lite SmartPro 120V 1kVA 800W UPS

• Prepare the installation area. Choose a well-ventilated space with adequate clearance around the unit. Avoid enclosing the UPS in a tight cabinet without airflow, and keep it away from heat sources to maximize battery life.
• Mount the unit in a rack or position it vertically. If you’re rack-mounting, align the UPS with your rails and secure it using the included mounting hardware. The 1U height is designed to slide into standard server racks, freeing floor space for other equipment.
• Connect critical devices to the UPS outlets. Use six outlets to power essential servers, network storage, switches, and telecom equipment. Do not overload a single outlet bank; distribute loads to maintain balanced power distribution.
• Attach the management interfaces. Install the WEBCARDLX network interface card into the designated port if required, and connect a network cable to your management network. For local management, connect the USB/DB9 port to a computer or server for initial configuration.
• Connect to mains and charge the battery. Plug the UPS into a dedicated 120V wall outlet (on its own circuit if possible) and allow the internal battery to condition and fully charge. Initial charging typically takes several hours; full conditioning is recommended before relying on battery power for outages.
• Configure and test the system. Access the WEBCARDLX interface through your network to set up notification alerts, shutdown policies, auto-start behavior, and runtime expectations. Test by simulating a power loss to verify graceful shutdowns, counting six outlets across devices, and ensuring firmware/software integration with your existing infrastructure.
• Plan for ongoing maintenance. Regularly review battery health through the web interface, schedule firmware updates if available, and replace batteries according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to preserve runtime and reliability.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the difference between line-interactive and online UPS systems? A line-interactive UPS uses automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery, conserving battery life. It provides battery backup during outages and protects against surges, brownouts, and noise. An online UPS maintains continuous power through an internal converter, delivering a constant output regardless of input, which offers the highest level of protection but at greater cost and complexity. The SmartPro is a line-interactive design, balancing efficient operation with reliable backup for most data-center and office environments.
• What devices should I connect to this UPS? Connect mission-critical equipment that must stay online during outages, such as servers, network attached storage (NAS), switches, routers, and telecom gear. Avoid overloading the six outlets; distribute the load to maintain adequate runtime and avoid tripping the circuit breaker.
• How long will the UPS run during a blackout? Runtime depends on the load connected to the UPS. Heavier loads drain the battery faster, while lighter loads extend runtime. For precise runtimes, refer to the product’s runtime specifications or run a measurement with your typical load under controlled testing conditions.
• Can I manage this UPS remotely? Yes. The WEBCARDLX network interface provides a web-based management interface for remote monitoring, event logging, and configuration. USB and DB9 serial connections offer local management and scripting capabilities for on-site administration.
• Is this UPS rack-mountable? Absolutely. The 1U rack- and vertical-friendly design fits standard server racks, enabling efficient space usage in data centers, IT closets, and embedded IT environments.
• Does the UPS support battery replacement? Most Tripp Lite SmartPro units include replaceable batteries; follow the manufacturer’s instructions for battery replacement to maintain performance. Regular battery health checks via the web interface help plan replacements before runtime degrades.
• What kind of protection does it offer beyond battery backup? In addition to battery-backed power during outages, the UPS provides surge protection, voltage regulation through AVR, and protection against electrical disturbances that could damage sensitive equipment or corrupt data.
