[ LINE-INTERACTIVE UPS // IDENTIFIED MODEL ]
Tripp Lite SMART1500LCDXL
Eaton / Tripp Lite line-interactive AVR UPS, rated 1500 VA / 900 W. This record describes the identified regional model only. Check the complete nameplate, hardware revision and matching manufacturer documentation before installation or load selection.
ARCHIVAL IDENTIFICATION: Record complete SKU/suffix, input/output labels, serial/date code, hardware revision, battery type/age, accessories, test conditions and manual revision. Similar model names do not establish electrical equivalence.
Exact model specifications
| Manufacturer / exact model | Eaton / Tripp Lite SMART1500LCDXL (North American model record; verify complete SKU, revision and serial/date label). |
|---|---|
| Topology | Line-interactive UPS with automatic voltage regulation (AVR); supported input fluctuations may be corrected without battery transfer. This is not a standby-only or online double-conversion unit. |
| Capacity / input | 1500 VA / 900 W; 120 V AC nominal, North American input configuration. Verify the exact rack/tower suffix and line-frequency details on nameplate. VA and W are separate limits; stay under both. |
| AC output / waveform | 120 V AC nominal; PWM / simulated-sine-wave battery output with line-interactive AVR. The model provides external-battery capability; use only Eaton-approved accessories listed for this SKU. |
| Outlets / load assignment | Eight NEMA 5-15R output receptacles on this XL model. Follow model-specific outlet markings for battery backup/surge assignment; do not assume compatibility with similar SMART variants. |
| Battery chemistry / service | Internal sealed lead-acid battery with manufacturer-defined replacement procedure; external runtime expansion is model-specific. Do not connect an unapproved battery pack or work on an energized battery bus. |
| Runtime / test conditions | The manufacturer manual includes load/runtime information; use the SMART1500LCDXL curve and any approved external-pack configuration for the actual load. Runtime is not inferable from its VA rating alone. Runtime tests should record connected watts, charge state, battery age/health, temperature and test date. |
| Host signaling / software | USB and DB9 serial host interfaces with Eaton/Tripp Lite PowerAlert support documented for the family. Confirm current supported OS/software and cable requirements before configuring automatic shutdown. |
| Load compatibility | 120 V equipment within 1500 VA / 900 W. Rack/tower installation must preserve airflow and secure the unit; pure connectivity does not establish load or runtime compatibility. |
Safety, service & limits
- Use only with the grounded voltage/frequency and environment allowed by the complete unit label and current model manual. Never defeat grounding or daisy-chain UPS outputs.
- Do not connect heaters, laser printers, motors or other high-inrush loads unless the manufacturer expressly permits them and their steady-state and startup demand remain within the UPS limits.
- Do not open an energized UPS or work on battery terminals. Sealed lead-acid batteries can deliver destructive fault current; avoid short circuits, damaged/swollen/leaking cells and unapproved replacements. Follow the manufacturer isolation, service and recycling directions.
- Remove damaged equipment from service if the case, cord, plug, grounding, outlet, battery or indicator shows heat, swelling, leakage, cracking, odor, corrosion or other fault. Follow the maker’s safe shutdown guidance.
- Keep ventilation clear, protect the unit from liquid and excessive heat, and test host shutdown and runtime under a controlled load. Battery backup is finite and is not a substitute for code-compliant wiring or an independent data backup.
