Eaton SMART1000RM2UL – 1kVA Lithium Rack UPS, Line-Interactive

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1000RM2UL is a 2U rack-mount UPS with lithium battery technology, delivering 1kVA/800W of line-interactive backup power for conference rooms, data closets, and commercial AV racks. Its lithium-ion battery replaces traditional lead-acid chemistry with a longer service life and lighter weight, making it a strong fit for commercial UPS battery backup installation projects where rack space and long-term battery replacement cycles matter. This 1kVA line-interactive UPS with lithium battery is built for AV integrators protecting control processors, switchers, and networking gear from utility outages and voltage fluctuations.

Product Description

The SMART1000RM2UL provides 1000VA/800W of line-interactive, pure sine wave power protection through six NEMA 5-15R outlets, organized into two switchable two-outlet load banks so administrators can remotely reboot or shed non-critical loads. At full 800W load the unit delivers roughly 8.3 minutes of runtime, extending to about 20 minutes at half load, enough to ride through short utility blips or execute a controlled shutdown of AV processing equipment. The 2U rack-mount form factor (also convertible to tower or wall-mount) fits standard 19-inch AV racks and data closet enclosures, and the front-panel LCD display gives technicians real-time visibility into load, battery status, and input voltage without opening a management console. Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects brownouts and overvoltage conditions on the fly without switching to battery, extending battery life in environments with unstable utility power. The lithium-ion battery chemistry offers a longer usable lifespan than legacy VRLA batteries in the same class, reducing the frequency of battery replacement in a rack-mount UPS for AV rack deployment. This 2U rackmount UPS for conference room AV protects presentation systems, video conferencing codecs, and network switches from both outages and the everyday voltage sag and surge that shortens equipment life. Backed by a 5-year worldwide warranty, the SMART1000RM2UL is built for facilities and AV integration teams who need dependable, low-maintenance backup power in commercial installations.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SMART1000RM2UL compatible with standard 19-inch AV racks?

Yes. The unit ships as a 2U rack-mount design that installs into standard 19-inch rack enclosures used in AV racks and data closets, and it can also be configured for tower or wall-mount installation where rack space is limited.

How long will this UPS keep AV equipment running during an outage?

At the rated 800W full load, runtime is approximately 8.3 minutes, extending to roughly 20 minutes at half load. This is intended to bridge brief utility interruptions or provide time for a controlled, orderly shutdown of connected AV and networking equipment.

Can this UPS be integrated with AV control and monitoring systems?

The unit's LCD display and switchable outlet banks support basic local monitoring and remote load control, which AV integrators commonly pair with control system programming to trigger automated shutdown sequences during extended outages.

Why does this UPS use lithium-ion batteries instead of lead-acid?

The lithium-ion battery chemistry offers a longer usable service life and reduced weight compared to a similarly rated VRLA battery UPS, which lowers long-term maintenance and battery replacement costs in commercial installations.

What is the warranty coverage on this UPS?

The SMART1000RM2UL carries a 5-year worldwide limited warranty, reflecting the extended service life of its lithium-ion battery.

Does this UPS provide pure sine wave output for sensitive AV equipment?

Yes. It outputs pure sine wave power in both utility and battery modes, which is compatible with the switching power supplies found in AV processors, codecs, and networking equipment.

Can Creation Networks help size the right UPS for a specific AV rack?

Yes. Contact Creation Networks with your rack's total connected load and desired runtime, and our team can confirm whether the SMART1000RM2UL or a higher-capacity Eaton UPS is the better fit for your installation.
