Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD User Manual

The Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD 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, network workstations, home theaters, and audio/video components. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and specifications:

Power Protection Features

• Capacity: The SMART1500LCD offers a capacity of 1500VA (voltage-amperes) or 900W (watts), making it suitable for protecting small business networks, VoIP systems, point-of-sale applications, and home offices.
• Surge Protection: It safeguards connected equipment against blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, surges, and line noise that can potentially damage electronics or lead to data loss.

Battery Backup

• Runtime: The UPS provides up to 11.8 minutes of battery support at half load (450W) and approximately 4.4 minutes at full load (900W). This allows users enough time to save files and safely shut down their systems during power outages.
• Hot-Swappable Batteries: The unit features field-replaceable, hot-swappable VRLA battery modules that ensure continuous operation during short power failures.

Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

• The SMART1500LCD includes AVR technology that corrects low voltage conditions as low as 75V and high voltage conditions up to 147V back to a nominal output of 120V without using battery power. This feature helps prevent incremental hardware damage and performance issues caused by voltage fluctuations.

User Interface

• LCD Display: A large front-panel LCD provides real-time information on voltage levels, runtime remaining on the battery, load levels, and overall battery status. The display can rotate for easy viewing in both rack-mount and tower configurations.
• Audible Alarms: An audible alarm alerts users to loss of utility power or low battery conditions.

Connectivity Options

• The UPS is equipped with multiple NEMA 5-15R outlets—eight in total—that provide PWM sine wave AC output while filtering out damaging surges and line noise.
• It also includes RS-232 and HID-compliant USB ports for connecting to a computer running PowerAlert® software. This software enables safe unattended shutdowns during prolonged power failures.

Environmental Efficiency

• The SMART1500LCD is ENERGY STAR-certified, indicating high operational efficiency that helps reduce electricity costs while minimizing environmental impact through lower BTU emissions.

Physical Specifications

• Dimensions: It has a compact design with dimensions of 17.3 inches in height, 10.5 inches in depth, and 3.5 inches in width.
• Weight: The unit weighs approximately 29 pounds.

Warranty & Support

• Tripp Lite offers a three-year limited warranty on the product along with $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance against damages due to surges.

In summary, the Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD is an efficient UPS solution that combines robust power protection features with user-friendly monitoring capabilities suitable for both personal and professional use.
