Output Circuit Breakers Switches (Select Models Only): These resettable circuit breakers protect your UPS from output overload. If one or both breakers trip, remove some of the load on the circuit(s) and allow the UPS to cool before pressing the breaker switch(es) in to reset.

Input Cord (Select Models Only): This permanently attached power cord connects your UPS to a power outlet.

AC Receptacles (Varied by Model): These 15-, 20- and 30-amp receptacles provide your connected equipment with pure sine-wave AC output from the AC line during normal operation and from battery power during blackouts and severe brownouts. Power provided at these outlets is filtered to protect connected equipment against damaging surges and line noise. The receptacles are divided into numbered load banks, as labelled on the unit. Using PowerAlert software and cabling, load banks one and two may be individually turned off and on from a remote location, allowing users to reset or reboot connected equipment. See Serial Port Connection under Optional Connections.

“SMART” DB9 Port: Your UPS’s DB9 port can be used to monitor and control your UPS using either RS-232 or dry contact protocols. It can also be used to connect an emergency power off (EPO) switch.

RS-232 communications are very complex, but are easy to implement. The easiest way monitor and control the UPS using RS- 232 is to connect the UPS to a computer with a DB9 cable and install Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert software on the connected computer.

Dry contact communications are simple, but some knowledge of electronics is necessary to configure them. The DB9 port’s pin assignments are shown in the diagram at the left. If the UPS battery is low, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pin 1 and pin 5. If utility power fails, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pin 8 and pin 5. To shut the UPS down remotely, send a 5V to 12V signal on pin 3 (using pin 5 as the (negative) ground) for at least 3.8 seconds.

You may connect your UPS to an EPO switch and a computer at once using a Tripp Lite EPO cable (not included; order accessory #73-0901 from Tripp Lite). Follow the connection procedures included with the EPO Cable.

SU1500RTXL2UHV, SUINT1500RTXL2U, SU1500RTXL2U specifications

The Tripp Lite SU1500RTXL2U is a versatile and reliable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to provide protection for critical electronic equipment in various environments. With a power capacity of 1500 VA and a power output of 1000 Watts, this UPS is ideal for small servers, network equipment, and other sensitive devices that require consistent and uninterrupted power.

One of the standout features of the SU1500RTXL2U is its ability to offer extended runtime configurations. The unit includes a built-in battery, but it is also compatible with additional external battery packs that can be connected to prolong the UPS's runtime during power outages. This capability is particularly useful for businesses that cannot afford downtime and require extended periods of operation during an electrical failure.

Equipped with line-interactive technology, the SU1500RTXL2U provides reliable voltage regulation. It automatically adjusts voltage levels to maintain optimal power supply conditions, ensuring that connected devices receive a stable output. This feature significantly reduces the risk of damage from power surges, sags, and other irregularities.

Additionally, this Tripp Lite model features eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, allowing multiple devices to be connected simultaneously. It provides a combination of battery backup and surge protection, safeguarding equipment against potential damage from power spikes or outages. The UPS also includes an LCD screen that offers real-time information on battery status, load capacity, and input/output voltages, enabling users to monitor performance easily.

The SU1500RTXL2U is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its compact 2U rack-mountable form factor facilitates easy installation in standard network racks or server rooms. The built-in smart management software ensures seamless integration with most operating systems, allowing users to configure settings and monitor the UPS through their computers.

Furthermore, the SU1500RTXL2U is equipped with an automatic voltage regulation (AVR) feature, enabling it to maintain consistent output voltage levels without draining the battery. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also extends the lifespan of the unit's batteries.

In conclusion, the Tripp Lite SU1500RTXL2U is an exceptional UPS solution equipped with essential features that ensure the reliability and stability of power supply for sensitive equipment. Its extended runtime options, line-interactive technology, and user-friendly design make it an indispensable asset for any organization relying on uninterrupted power.
