Quick Installation, Storage | Tripp Lite SMX1500LCD specification

Quick Installation

STEP 1: Place the UPS in a horizontal or vertical (tower) position. To install the UPS in a 4-post rack, attach the included hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram A . To install the UPS in a 2-post rack, attach the included hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram B . Then, using an assistant if necessary, lift the UPS and attach it to a standard rack with user-supplied hardware. The UPS will stand in a tower position without the aid of the included hardware. For increased stability, however, Tripp Lite recommends attaching the included hardware as shown in diagram C . In either position, the user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before installation. The UPS and included hardware are designed for common rack types and may not be appropriate for all applications. The LCD display may be rotated to match the orientation of the UPS. Carefully insert a small tool in the slots at the side of the LCD to remove it from the UPS housing, then rotate the LCD and press it back into place.

CAUTION: To balance the UPS safely when placed in a vertical position, make sure the LCD Display is located at the top of the front panel.

STEP 2: Connect a user-supplied power cord* to the UPS, then plug the UPS into a wall outlet.**

After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for one second to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section). Please Note! The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power.

*The UPS system does not include an input power cord. The user-supplied power cord should have an IEC-320-C13 connector (commonly found on detachable power cords for desktop computers) at one end in order to connect to the AC input of the UPS.

**Use an outlet that doesn't share a circuit with a heavy electrical load such as an air conditioner or refrigerator.

STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.

Insert the female connectors of the detachable power cords that came with the UPS system into the AC inputs of the attached equipment. Insert the male connectors into any of the UPS system's available outlets.

The UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. Connected equipment will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment connected to the outlets exceeds the UPS Output Capacity. To find VA ratings, look at equipment nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 230 volts to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 230 volts = 230 VA). If unsure whether the outlets are overloaded, run a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description).

STEP 4: Optional Installation. The UPS includes USB and RS-232 communication ports as well as Tel/DSL/Ethernet and Coaxial surge protection jacks. These connections are optional; the UPS will work properly without these connections.

Not compatible with PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications.

CAUTION: The UPS must be plugged into a live AC outlet and turned on for 24 hours after initial installation to fully charge the internal battery. Connected equipment will receive utility- supplied AC power (if present) immediately after the UPS is plugged in and turned on, but connected equipment will not receive full battery backup in the event of a blackout or severe brownout unless the internal battery is fully charged.

Storage

To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 24 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Note on Labeling

Two symbols are used on the label.

V~ : AC Voltage

V : DC Voltage

SMX1500LCD specifications

The Tripp Lite SMX1500LCD is a versatile and reliable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to provide seamless power protection for sensitive electronic equipment. With a power capacity of 1500VA, this UPS is particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized applications, including home offices, network closets, and retail environments.

One of the main features of the SMX1500LCD is its LCD interface, which provides real-time information on essential parameters such as battery status, load capacity, and input/output voltage levels. This user-friendly display empowers users to monitor the UPS’s performance at a glance, allowing for proactive management of power resources.

The SMX1500LCD utilizes line-interactive technology, enhancing its efficiency in handling power fluctuations. This technology allows the UPS to automatically correct minor voltage fluctuations without switching to battery mode, thereby conserving battery life for more significant power outages. In addition, the unit is equipped with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which stabilizes voltage levels, protecting sensitive devices from surges, spikes, and brownouts.

Another standout characteristic of the SMX1500LCD is its compact design. Despite its power capacity, the unit is designed to save space, making it ideal for environments where real estate is at a premium. The UPS is also wall-mountable, offering installation flexibility.

The SMX1500LCD provides multiple outlets, ensuring ample connectivity for various devices. It features eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, which include four that are battery-supported and surge-protected, as well as four that are only surge-protected. This setup allows users to prioritize critical devices while providing surge protection for non-essential ones.

Moreover, the UPS comes with a USB port for communication with connected devices, alongside an optional SNMP network management card for those who need advanced network monitoring capabilities.

The unit also boasts extended battery life, ensuring that connected equipment remains powered during outages. With user-replaceable batteries, maintenance is straightforward, further extending the UPS’s lifespan.

In sum, the Tripp Lite SMX1500LCD combines robust performance, advanced technology, and user-friendly features in a compact design, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable power protection for their electronic devices.
