Tripp Lite (ECO1500LCD) User Manual

The ECO1500LCD is a line-interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) designed to provide reliable battery backup and AC power protection for various electronic devices, including desktop computers and home theater systems. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and specifications:

1. Protection Against Power Issues The ECO1500LCD safeguards valuable equipment from potential damage caused by blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise. It ensures that connected devices remain operational during power interruptions and protects against data loss.

2. Battery Backup Functionality This UPS includes a battery backup feature that allows users to save files and safely shut down their systems during prolonged blackouts. The backup time can vary based on the load but can keep an energy-efficient desktop computer with an LCD monitor powered for up to 90 minutes.

3. Outlet Configuration The unit comes equipped with 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets:

• Five outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection for critical components like computers and monitors.
• Five additional outlets offer surge protection only, suitable for non-essential devices such as printers and scanners.
• Two outlets are spaced apart to accommodate bulky transformers.

4. Energy Efficiency The ECO1500LCD is ENERGY STAR-certified, which means it meets strict efficiency guidelines set by the EPA. It features four ECO outlets that automatically turn off when the device connected to the Battery Backup Master Outlet is powered down or in sleep mode, helping save energy.

5. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) This feature corrects low-voltage conditions without using battery power, protecting equipment from incremental hardware damage caused by brownouts as low as 86V.

6. Surge Protection With a surge suppression rating of 316 joules, the ECO1500LCD protects connected devices from harmful power surges. It also includes dual network data line surge suppression jacks for wired peripherals.

7. USB Charging Ports Two USB ports are available for charging mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets while the UPS is powered on.

8. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Filtering The unit incorporates technology to filter out disruptive electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring stable performance of connected equipment.

9. Real-Time Monitoring An easy-to-read LCD display provides real-time information about UPS status, including operating mode, voltage levels, load level, battery charge level, wiring faults, and estimated runtime remaining.

10. Design and Placement The tower form factor allows for easy placement in various environments such as home offices or media centers. The long-lasting ABS housing fits conveniently on desktops or shelves.

In summary, the ECO1500LCD offers comprehensive protection against power issues while providing energy-saving features suitable for both home office setups and entertainment systems.
