Eaton SMART1000RM2UN – 2U Rack UPS with Network Card

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1000RM2UN is a 2U rack-mount UPS with network card built for small network applications including telecom, security, and digital signage. This 1000VA/800W line-interactive UPS pairs commercial UPS battery backup installation with a factory-installed WEBCARDLX interface, making it a practical networked UPS remote monitoring AV rack solution for integrators managing equipment across multiple sites. It maintains continuous 120V nominal output during brownouts and overvoltages, protecting sensitive AV and network gear from the voltage swings common in older commercial buildings. An easy-to-read LCD reports real-time voltage, load, and battery status directly at the rack.

Product Description

This SMART1000RM2UN model rack-mounts in a standard 2U space alongside switchers, network switches, and control processors common in a conference room AV rack or commercial data closet. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets with 570 joules of surge protection give an integrator room to distribute power across multiple devices from one unit, while automatic voltage regulation corrects under- and overvoltages from 83V to 147V without switching to battery, preserving runtime for genuine outages. At full load the unit delivers roughly 5.3 minutes of runtime and up to 15 minutes at half load, enough time to complete an orderly shutdown of connected AV or network equipment during a prolonged outage. The pre-installed WEBCARDLX network interface allows facilities and IT staff to check UPS status, receive alerts, and manage the unit remotely, which is valuable for AV racks located in unattended equipment rooms or multi-site commercial deployments. Line-interactive sine wave output protects equipment that is sensitive to non-sinusoidal power, a common requirement for AV processors, DSPs, and networking hardware. The 2U chassis supports rackmount, wall-mount, or tower orientation, giving flexibility for tight equipment closets, training rooms, or huddle room AV racks where floor space is limited. RS-232, USB, and EPO connections round out the communication options for integration with existing building management or UPS monitoring software.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this UPS require a separate network card purchase?

No. The WEBCARDLX network interface ships pre-installed, giving 24/7 remote access to unit status without an add-on card.

Will this UPS fit a standard AV equipment rack?

Yes. It occupies 2U of standard 19-inch rack space and can also be configured for wall-mount or tower use in tighter equipment closets.

Can this UPS integrate with existing UPS monitoring software?

Yes. RS-232, USB, and network connectivity through WEBCARDLX allow integration with common UPS management platforms and building monitoring systems.

What is the warranty on this unit?

The SMART1000RM2UN carries a 2-year standard warranty, extendable to 3 years with product registration, valid worldwide.

How much runtime should I expect for AV equipment on this UPS?

Runtime is approximately 5.3 minutes at full 800W load and up to 15 minutes at half load, enough to complete an orderly shutdown during an extended outage.

Is professional installation required?

While the unit is designed for straightforward rack or wall installation, Creation Networks recommends having a qualified AV integrator or electrician verify circuit capacity and rack load before commissioning in a commercial installation.
