Tripp Lite SmartPro 1kVA 800W Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS – 2U Rack/Tower

Protect mission-critical rack-mounted equipment with a trusted uninterruptible power supply that delivers clean, reliable power when you need it most. The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V UPS is engineered to provide fully regulated sine wave output for servers, network storage devices and telecom hardware, keeping your data center or IT closet humming through power disturbances, outages, and brownouts. With flexible 2U rack or tower deployment, this UPS scales with your growing infrastructure while offering comprehensive management options to safeguard your most valuable equipment.

• Premium sine‑wave output for sensitive equipment: Delivers clean, regulated sine wave power that protects servers, storage arrays, network gear and telecom devices from irregular power that can cause crashes, data loss, or hardware wear. This line‑interactive design ensures consistent voltage with fast recovery from minor dips or surges, minimizing the risk of disruption during routine or peak loads.
• Intelligent power conditioning and AVR: Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) automatically corrects minor voltage fluctuations without drawing down the battery, preserving runtime for longer outages and extending battery life. Your connected equipment sees steady voltage levels even when the incoming supply wobbles, reducing thermal stress and improving reliability.
• Audible and visual fault alarms for rapid awareness: Built‑in audible alarms announce loss of utility power, overload, low battery, and fault conditions, while the LCD display provides at‑a‑glance status updates. This combination helps IT staff quickly diagnose conditions in data centers, server rooms, or network closets without needing a separate monitoring device.
• Versatile 6-outlet protection with generous cord length: Six NEMA 5‑15R outlets supply broad randomized distribution for essential equipment in a rack environment. The 10‑foot (3.05 m) power cord gives you flexible routing to your main utility outlet, enabling efficient rack layouts and minimizing strain on power bars or daisy‑chains.
• Comprehensive management options for centralized control: Front‑panel LCD, USB, and DB9 serial connections provide local management and monitoring, while optional network management card support (sold separately) enables remote administration through your existing network management software. This makes it easy to track runtime, battery health, load, voltage levels and shutdown procedures across multiple devices and sites.

how to install Tripp Lite SmartPro UPS

Install your Tripp Lite SmartPro UPS quickly and safely in a rack or as a standalone tower to shield your critical equipment from power disturbances. Follow these steps to ensure optimal protection and performance.

• Choose your orientation: Decide between rack mounting or tower placement. If rack mounting, use the included mounting rails to secure the UPS in a 2U space. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and that it is not blocked by walls or equipment that could impede airflow.

• Position and bench test: Place the UPS in a stable location with easy access to the LCD panel, USB/serial ports, and power cord. Before connecting devices, perform a bench test to confirm the unit powers up correctly and the LCD displays status information.

• Connect the load: Plug your critical devices into the six NEMA 5‑15R outlets. Group mission‑critical servers, storage controllers, switches, and other essential gear on these outlets to maximize protection during an outage.

• Attach the input power: Route the 10‑foot power cord to a dedicated 120V AC outlet. Avoid sharing the circuit with high‑load devices to prevent nuisance tripping and to ensure clean power delivery to the UPS.

• Connect management interfaces: If you plan to monitor or manage the UPS remotely, connect the USB cable to a dedicated management computer or load management server. If using a DB9 serial connection, attach the RS‑232 cable to your management console. Consider installing the optional Network Management Card for centralized monitoring across multiple devices and locations.

• Configure and calibrate: Use the front‑panel LCD to set language, input/output voltage reference, battery reserve, audible alarm preferences, and alert thresholds. Run a self‑test to verify battery health and charge status. If you’re using monitoring software, configure graceful shutdown options for connected servers to protect against data loss during extended outages.

• Battery charging and maintenance: Allow the battery to fully charge after first connection, typically not less than 4–6 hours for initial conditioning. Schedule regular battery health checks and replace batteries per the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain peak runtime and reliability.

• Routine testing: Periodically simulate a power outage to confirm automatic switchover, run time, and controlled shutdown sequences work as intended. Document test results as part of your standard IT maintenance procedures.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does the SmartPro UPS protect against?

  A: It provides back‑up power and protection for critical IT equipment against power outages, surges, voltage sags, and other power disturbances. The sine wave output and AVR help ensure stable voltage for servers, storage devices, and networking hardware.

• Q: How many outlets does it have and what type are they?

  A: The unit includes six NEMA 5‑15R outlets, suitable for standard North American plugs commonly used by servers, storage devices, switches, and other rack‑mount equipment.

• Q: Can I manage it remotely?

  A: Yes. It features USB and DB9 serial interfaces for local management, and it supports an optional Network Management Card for remote monitoring and centralized control across multiple devices in a data center or network closet.

• Q: What is the form factor?

  A: It is a 2U rack/tower convertible UPS, allowing flexible placement in standard server racks or as a standalone unit on a shelf or floor with the appropriate stand or feet.

• Q: How long does the battery last during an outage?

  A: Runtime depends on the load connected to the UPS. At higher loads, runtime will be shorter, while lighter loads yield longer runtimes. The unit also includes audible alarms to indicate battery status, helping you manage graceful shutdowns and recoveries efficiently.

• Q: Does it include Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)?

  A: Yes. AVR maintains stable voltage under minor input fluctuations, reducing battery wear and ensuring smooth operation for critical equipment without unnecessary battery usage.
