SmartPro 1.5kVA Tower UPS

The Tripp Lite SMART1500 is a line-interactive tower UPS rated at 1500 VA and 980 W. It protects file servers, network gear and telecom equipment from outages, brownouts and overvoltages. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets provide battery-backed and surge-protected power for mixed IT loads. USB and RS-232 ports enable software monitoring and automated shutdown.

Installation and common issues

The unit ships with USB, RS-232 cables and a driver disk for quick software setup. Hot-swap battery bays allow replacement without powering down connected equipment. A switched load bank lets you shed non-critical loads during extended outages. Audible alarms signal power failure, overload and low-battery conditions with distinct beep patterns.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that your equipment draws no more than 980 W total and uses NEMA 5-15P plugs compatible with the 5-15R outlets. Confirm the 12.75" x 7.50" x 9.00" tower footprint fits your rack or floor space and that the 38.4 lb weight is supported. Ensure the input voltage range of 75 V to 147 V matches your local supply conditions.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the SMART1500 is operating correctly after connecting it?

The unit emits four short beeps every ten seconds when running on battery, a continuous tone when the battery is low and continuous short beeps during an overload, letting you verify normal operation by sound alone.

What cables and accessories ship with the SMART1500 and what must I provide?

The package includes the UPS, a USB cable, an RS-232 cable, a driver disk and the user manual; you only need to supply the equipment cords that plug into the six NEMA 5-15R outlets.

Which capacity of the SMART1500 should I choose for my load?

This model is a single 1500 VA / 980 W configuration providing seven minutes at full load and twenty minutes at half load, so select it when your connected equipment falls within those ratings.
