Eaton SMART1000RM2U – Rack-Mount 1000VA UPS 2U

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1000RM2U is a rack-mount UPS for AV rack, server, and telecommunications equipment that needs network-grade power protection in a compact 2U footprint. It's built as a 2U rackmount UPS for commercial AV rack installations in data closets, equipment rooms, and conference room AV racks where space is limited but reliability requirements are not. With an interactive LCD interface, built-in AVR, and both USB and RS-232 monitoring, it also serves well as a commercial UPS for data closet rack deployments supporting mixed IT and AV loads.

Product Description

The SMART1000RM2U is a line-interactive UPS with built-in Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) that actively corrects brownouts and overvoltages between 83V and 147V back to usable levels while keeping the battery fully charged for an actual outage. Its interactive LCD interface reports operating mode along with detailed UPS and site-power data, giving on-site technicians a fast way to check status without connecting a laptop, which is especially useful for a UPS battery backup for AV equipment rack deployed in a shared IT/AV closet. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets are arranged into two independently switchable load banks with 570 joules of surge protection, allowing critical AV control gear to be separated from secondary devices and power-cycled remotely when needed. Switchover from line to battery power happens within milliseconds, and greater than 95% line-mode efficiency reduces heat output in the rack, an important consideration in enclosed AV racks with limited airflow. As a line-interactive rack UPS with SNMP, it supports network management through USB, RS-232, and an optional SNMPWEBCARD network interface, making it straightforward to fold into existing network monitoring for a commercial UPS for data closet rack or conference room AV rack. An EPO (Emergency Power Off) port makes it a viable UPS with EPO for AV control room rack installations that must meet facility safety code requirements. Physically, the 2U chassis also supports wall-mount and tower configurations, giving integrators flexibility if rack space changes down the road. A 2-year warranty (3 years with registration) plus $250,000 in Ultimate Lifetime Insurance backs the unit for demanding commercial AV and IT deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SMART1000RM2U fit in a standard 19-inch AV rack?

Yes, it is a 2U rackmount unit designed for standard 19-inch racks, and it also supports wall-mount or tower configuration if rack space is not available.

Can this UPS be monitored over the network?

Yes, it supports USB and RS-232 monitoring out of the box, with an optional SNMPWEBCARD network interface for SNMP-based monitoring.

Is the LCD display useful for on-site troubleshooting in an AV rack?

Yes, the interactive LCD reports operating mode and detailed UPS and site-power data, which helps a technician diagnose a power issue directly at the rack.

Does it support emergency power-off integration required in some commercial buildings?

Yes, an EPO (Emergency Power Off) port is included for integration with building safety and emergency shutdown systems.

How is the load protected if only part of the rack equipment needs to stay powered?

The six outlets are split into two independently switchable load banks, so critical AV or network equipment can be prioritized separately from secondary devices.

What is the warranty and does it include equipment insurance?

It carries a 2-year warranty, extendable to 3 years with registration, plus up to $250,000 in Ultimate Lifetime Insurance for connected equipment in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
