Tripp Lite Debuts 2U True On-Line UPS System with Limitless Runtime



New 1500 VA model offers expandable battery runtimes and load management

Chicago, IL (March 5, 2003)-Tripp Lite, a world leader in the manufacture of power protection equipment, announces the newest addition to its award-winning SmartOnline(TM) UPS Series-the SU1500RTXL2U. Combining true online, double conversion technology, expandable battery runtimes, remote manageability and installation flexibility, the SU1500RTXL2U provides clean, reliable power to sensitive IT and telecom equipment.

The SU1500RTXL2U includes several notable features:·Customized load management receptacles ·True on-line, double conversion technology generating pure sine wave AC output at all times ·Expandable battery runtime with additional external battery packs ·Built-in RS232 communication port for network capable of managing multiple servers over IP using existing network wiring, with no added expense of accessories needed ·PowerAlert software for unattended shutdown of UPS Systems, including compatibility with other brands of UPS Systems ·Versatile 2-unit rackmount design adaptable to stack, tower and under-monitor applications
·6 UPS receptacles

"The SU1500RTXL2U is ideally suited to protect computer servers, telecommunications/PBX, ATMs and other mission-critical applications where space is at a premium," states David Slotten, Tripp Lite's product manager. "The SU1500RTXL2U's pure sine wave generation produces superior power conditioning and unmatched protection of mission-critical applications, data and equipment from utility power disturbances. It removes harmonic distortion, electrical impulses and frequency variations that line-interactive units cannot address. This adds an additional level of protection for the same price as line-interactive units."

The SU1500RTXL2U provides 1500VA of battery backup power. Runtimes can be increased indefinitely with the addition of external battery packs (model # BP48V2127). The front panel battery door is designed for rapid hot swap battery replacement.

Load management is another optimized feature of the SU1500RTXL2U. Outlet banks can be independently controlled via software interface to selectively reboot remote equipment, or shed less critical loads to extend battery runtime for more critical equipment.

SNMP compatibility, along with included PowerAlert software, enables remote shutdowns, remote control and monitoring of UPS system and power data. PowerAlert Software controls every networked UPS regardless of brand or operating system. In addition to saving open files and performing a graceful unattended shutdown in the event of a blackout, PowerAlert offers unparalleled network management and is the only UPS software to receive Palm(TM) certification for wireless applications. PowerAlert can also be accessed and controlled via remote Web phone communications.

Overall, the SU1500RTXL2U offers one of the most flexible protection solutions available. Special receptacles may be independently controlled with PowerAlert Software. In addition, the 2U rackmount converts to a tower, with included base stand, or can be wall mounted.

Like all SmartOnline UPS Systems, the SU1500RTXL2U is protected by $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance, which covers connected equipment against surge damage, including direct lightning strikes...for life! Unlike competitors' confusing insurance coverage, Tripp Lite's insurance coverage is for the life of the UPS and requires no forms to be filled out or serial numbers to be submitted. Coverage is automatic.
