Eaton 5S1500LCD – 1500VA Line-Interactive Tower UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton 5S1500LCD is a 1500VA line-interactive tower UPS built for commercial equipment rooms, conference room AV racks, and small IT closets that need dependable battery backup without the cost of a full online double-conversion system. With an LCD status display and ten output receptacles, it functions as a practical commercial UPS battery backup installation for mixed AV and networking loads. Its line-interactive tower UPS design corrects common voltage fluctuations before they reach connected equipment, making it a solid fit as battery backup for AV equipment in huddle rooms, training rooms, and general office AV setups.

Product Description

The 5S1500LCD is rated 1500 VA / 900 W and uses line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation, correcting brownouts and overvoltage conditions without switching to battery, which extends battery life compared to standby-only designs. Its front LCD panel reports load level, battery status, and runtime estimates at a glance, which is useful for facilities staff checking on a UPS with LCD display during routine walkthroughs of a data closet or AV rack. Ten 5-15R outlets give integrators room to protect a codec, switcher, network switch, and display controller from a single unit, making it a workable line-interactive UPS for conference room AV installations where multiple small AV components share a rack shelf or credenza. The free-standing tower form factor fits under a table or on an equipment shelf, and a USB HID port allows connection to power management software for graceful shutdown of attached servers or media players. Sealed lead-acid batteries use Eaton's ABM three-stage charging to extend service life, and a 2-year factory warranty backs the unit, with an extended 5-year depot repair plan available for facilities that want longer coverage on a commercial UPS battery backup installation.
