Basic Operation, Front Panel Switches | Tripp Lite SU1000RT2UHV

Basic Operation

Front Panel Switches

“ON/TEST” Switch: This switch controls four separate UPS functions:

UPS Power ON

To turn the UPS on, press this switch, hold it for several seconds until you hear a beep, then release it. The “ON LINE” LED will illuminate.

UPS Self-Test

During normal on-line operation, press this switch and hold it until you hear a beep. This initiates a 10-second self-test of the battery. The UPS will shift to battery power (the “ON BATT” and “BATT ACTIVE METER” LEDs will illuminate) for ten seconds.

Alarm Silence

To silence the UPS “on-battery” alarm, press this switch and hold it until you hear a beep.

UPS Cold Start

To use your UPS as a stand-alone power source when AC power is unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), press this switch and hold it until you hear a beep. The UPS will then provide battery power to its out- lets.*

* The “ON BATT” Indicator Light will be illuminated since your UPS will be operating from battery power.

“OFF” Switch: This switch turns power OFF at the UPS receptacles. Press this switch, hold it until you hear a beep, then release it. The UPS will continue charging and the fan will continue to cool internal com- ponents even after you turn the UPS receptacles off. To turn the UPS OFF completely, including the charger, disconnect the UPS’s power cord after pressing the “OFF” switch.

Front Panel Indicator Lights

“ON LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate the UPS is performing normal on-line operation (filtering and resyn- thesizing incoming AC line voltage to provide pure sine wave output). When this light is illuminated, you can monitor the load level of your UPS on the “LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs.

“LINE” LED: This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate the utility supplied AC line voltage at your wall outlet is nominal. It will flash if the line voltage is outside the nominal range (either too low or two high). No action is required on your part when the LED flashes; the UPS continuously and automatically filters AC line power to provide your equipment with pure sine wave AC power, regardless of brownout or overvoltage conditions. If this light is off, then AC line voltage is not present (blackout) or is at an extremely high voltage, and the UPS will provide connected equipment with power from battery.

SU1000RT2UHV specifications

The Tripp Lite SU1000RT2UHV is a robust and reliable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed for critical applications. Ideal for IT infrastructure, telecom systems, and other sensitive electronic devices, this UPS provides seamless power protection and optimized performance. With a 1000VA (volt-ampere) capacity, it offers extended runtime and scalability for various power demands.

One of the standout features of the SU1000RT2UHV is its line-interactive topology. This technology enables the UPS to automatically adjust voltage fluctuations, ensuring that connected equipment receives a consistent and clean power supply. This reduces the wear and tear on electronic devices, extending their lifespan. Additionally, the UPS incorporates Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which boosts low voltages and reduces high voltages without switching to battery mode, conserving battery life during minor power problems.

The SU1000RT2UHV is equipped with multiple outlets, including 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets, providing versatility for connecting multiple devices. Its space-saving 2U rackmount design makes it suitable for data centers and server rooms, where rack space is often at a premium. The unit can be easily integrated into existing IT infrastructure, and it supports a wide range of mounting options.

Another key characteristic of the SU1000RT2UHV is its user-friendly LCD display. This display provides real-time information on UPS status, battery capacity, runtime, and input/output voltage, allowing users to monitor performance at a glance. The UPS also features an audible alarm that activates during critical events, providing alerts for power issues such as overloads or low battery.

The SU1000RT2UHV supports hot-swappable batteries, ensuring that users can replace batteries without shutting down connected equipment. This feature is especially important in environments where downtime is not an option. The UPS is compatible with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert software, which allows for advanced monitoring and management of power resources, further optimizing performance.

For connectivity, the SU1000RT2UHV offers USB and serial ports, enabling users to connect the UPS to a computer or network for monitoring and management. This connectivity is essential for integrating the UPS into a larger power management ecosystem.

In summary, the Tripp Lite SU1000RT2UHV combines advanced technologies and features with a user-centric design, providing essential power protection for critical systems. Its reliability, scalability, and comprehensive monitoring capabilities make it an invaluable asset for any organization relying on uninterrupted power supply.
