Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V 3kVA 2.25kW Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS

The Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V UPS is the go-to solution for safeguarding critical servers, network equipment, and telecommunications gear. Built for reliability in data centers, edge deployments, and remote offices, this 3 kVA/2.25 kW line-interactive sine-wave UPS delivers clean, predictable power during outages and voltage fluctuations. It is designed to protect sensitive electronics from surges, sags, and momentary outages, reducing the risk of data loss and downtime. With a compact 2U rack/tower form factor, extended run options, and a pre-installed WEBCARDLX network interface, it provides enterprise-grade protection with flexible deployment and streamlined management. The unit’s TAA-compliance also makes it suitable for government procurement, making it an ideal choice for organizations that demand both performance and compliance in one robust solution.

• Uncompromising protection with ample power: This UPS delivers up to 3 kVA of apparent power and 2.25 kW of real power, ensuring essential servers, storage arrays, routers, switches, and telecom gear stay online through outages and voltage irregularities. The sine-wave output preserves the integrity of sensitive loads, aiding smooth system reboot, reliable shutdowns, and consistent performance when mains power is unstable. With accurate voltage regulation and rapid response to disturbances, critical systems experience fewer unexpected restarts and less risk of data corruption during interruptions.
• Flexible 2U rack/tower form factor: Designed for versatility, the SmartPro UPS occupies just 2U of rack space or sits securely as a tower in a small equipment room. This flexibility supports deployment in standard data centers, edge closets, and remote sites without forcing compromises on capacity or protection. The extended run feature ensures longer autonomous operation for vital workloads during extended outages, giving IT teams more time to restore power or gracefully shut down equipment.
• Advanced management and monitoring: A pre-installed WEBCARDLX network interface enables remote monitoring, control, and alerting across the network. The built-in LCD display provides real-time status at a glance, including input/output voltages, battery charge, load, and event logs. Local management is complemented by USB and DB9 serial ports for direct connections to a computer or console, allowing quick configuration, firmware updates, and diagnostic checks without requiring extra adapters or hardware.
• Reliable, efficient operation: The line-interactive topology maintains output quality under fluctuating voltages by regulating the incoming power and providing seamless transitions to battery when necessary. This reduces wear on connected equipment and minimizes downtime. The UPS is engineered for dependable performance in busy IT environments, delivering consistent protection and predictable runtimes under varying loads while staying quiet and efficient enough for office-appropriate deployments.
• Compliance, compatibility, and peace of mind: As a TAA-compliant unit, this SmartPro UPS meets procurement requirements for the U.S. federal government and other regions with similar standards. It integrates smoothly with standard IT infrastructures and supports common management and shutdown workflows, making it an ideal choice for mixed fleets of servers, network devices, and telecom systems where compliance and reliability are paramount.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V UPS

Installing this UPS is designed to be straightforward for IT professionals and facilities staff. Follow these steps to ensure a secure and reliable deployment that maximizes uptime and protects your critical equipment:

• 1. Plan placement: Select a well-ventilated location with adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance. Ensure the rack space or surface can support the weight of the UPS and any installed batteries. Consider proximity to protected equipment and to the network interface for optimal reach.
• 2. Mounting: If rack-mounted, attach the appropriate rack ears and secure the 2U unit to the rack frame according to your facility’s rack-mount guidelines. If you’re mounting as a tower, place the unit on a stable, level surface away from vibration and heat sources.
• 3. Connect input power: Plug the UPS into a dedicated 120V AC circuit that complies with local electrical codes. Avoid sharing the circuit with high-draw devices to prevent nuisance tripping and ensure clean power delivery to the UPS and connected loads.
• 4. Connect protected equipment: Connect critical servers, storage devices, network switches, and other essential gear to the UPS output outlets. Prioritize connection of mission-critical devices to outlets that provide seamless transfer during a power event, and use any configurable outlet groups as needed for organized protection and graceful shutdowns.
• 5. Network and local management setup: Attach the WEBCARDLX network interface to your network and configure IP settings if required. Use the LCD panel to monitor live Readouts like runtime, load, and battery status. Connect a management workstation via USB or DB9 serial for local configuration, firmware updates, and direct monitoring.
• 6. Power up and verify: Turn on the UPS and confirm that all protected devices receive power from the unit. Execute a controlled test by simulating a power interruption to verify smooth transfer to battery power, proper LCD readouts, and alerts in your management system.
• 7. Configure protections and maintenance: Set up automatic shutdown procedures for protected assets, enable alert notifications, and schedule regular battery health checks per your IT policies. Maintain clear documentation of serial numbers, firmware versions, and test results for audits and future upgrades.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does 3 kVA / 2.25 kW mean for my equipment? A: The 3 kVA rating represents the apparent power the UPS can handle, while 2.25 kW is the real power available to support connected devices. Runtime is influenced by load and battery health, so heavier loads reduce backup time.
• Q: Is the UPS 120V input and 120V output? A: Yes. This model is designed for 120V systems with a 120V load output, making it suitable for most office environments and common data-center gear.
• Q: What is WEBCARDLX? A: WEBCARDLX is a pre-installed network interface that enables remote monitoring and management over your network. It supports remote alerts, status checks, and configuration adjustments via standard IT management tools.
• Q: Is this UPS suitable for government procurement? A: Yes. The unit is TAA-compliant, meeting procurement requirements for U.S. federal programs and other regions with similar standards.
