New Tripp Lite 2U SmartPro UPS System Combines Affordable Power Protection with Limitless Runtime Capabilities



Chicago, IL (November 18, 2002)-Tripp Lite, a world leader in the manufacture of power protection equipment, announces a new intelligent, line-interactive rackmount UPS system with 1500VA of battery backup, unlimited runtime capabilities and advanced power management features in a slim-line 2U cabinet-the SmartPro® 1500 RMXL2U (model # SMART1500RMXL2U). This full-featured UPS system will debut Monday, November 18, 2002, at the Comdex Trade Show and have an average reseller price of $719.00.

Although the SMART1500RMXL2U UPS System occupies only two units of rack space, it is loaded with the latest enhanced communications abilities and premium hardware features, including:
o SNMP slot for remote network management
o DB9 and USB communication ports work with bundled PowerAlert software to monitor and control multiple servers simultaneously
o Emergency Power Off interface jack for remote emergency shutdowns
o Customized load management receptacles to preserve battery runtime for more critical equipment
o Versatile 2-unit rackmount design adaptable to stack, tower and under-monitor applications

The SMART1500RMXL2U contains an internal microprocessor that constantly monitors incoming voltage levels and corrects under and overvoltages so that connected equipment receives only regulated, computer-grade power. In addition, an external battery connector allows the addition of optional battery packs during operational use ("hot-swapping") to provide virtually limitless runtime.

This 1500VA UPS system is designed to protect critical equipment including servers, hubs, routers, internetworking equipment, and ISP/Telecom/Lab equipment, against all types of power problems-including brownouts, blackouts, surges and line noise interference.

"This compact UPS provides excellent power conditioning, protection and support for everything from small office to enterprise environments, and complements our existing 2U UPS solutions up to 3000VA," said David Slotten, Tripp Lite Product Manager. "This new SmartPro UPS addition offers plenty of battery backup power combined with advanced communications abilities to extend power management across an entire enterprise-at an affordable price."

Included PowerAlert Software monitors network power conditions and can manage UPS systems from most major manufacturers. With a single program monitoring all UPS systems, users can view and respond with timely and convenient accuracy to alerts such as system overloads, blackouts, repeated power fluctuations and more. In addition, IT managers are no longer obliged to log onto the network to check on power conditions or make adjustments to customized settings. By simply accessing a secure Web site, users can obtain an SNMP-style management from any Web-enabled device, including wireless phones and handheld computers. One individually controllable pair of outlets allows remote reboot of network devices or preservation of battery power by shutting down non-essential devices during a power failure.

The SMART1500RMXL2U offers 8 outlet receptacles to connect multiple pieces of equipment. It can be configured in rack, tower, wallmount or under-monitor designs. It comes in standard computer gray, and includes an alternative black bezel, complementing the latest designs in network equipment. Other features, standard on all models in the 2U SmartPro UPS Series by Tripp Lite, include an external battery connector, a circuit breaker, and a ten foot power cord. In addition, Tripp Lite guarantees the reliability of its 2U SmartPro UPS Systems with $50,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance covering connected equipment against surge damage, including direct lightning strikes-for life.
