Eaton SMART1200XLHG – Medical-Grade 1000VA UPS System

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1200XLHG is a 1000VA/750W medical-grade UPS system built to protect critical IT and network equipment in healthcare facilities, network closets, and data center environments. This hospital-grade UPS battery backup delivers line-interactive voltage regulation and a hospital-grade load isolation transformer, making it a practical choice for commercial deployment anywhere reliable power protection matters. Facilities managers and integrators specify this unit for patient-care vicinity installations as well as standard server rack and network closet applications where hospital-grade outlets are required.

Product Description

The SMART1200XLHG is a line-interactive UPS designed around a hospital-grade load isolation transformer, giving it a dual role: it functions as a certified medical-grade UPS for patient-care areas and as a robust line-interactive UPS for standard commercial IT deployment. Rated at 1000VA/750W, it supplies roughly 28 minutes of runtime at half load, enough to protect network switches, small servers, workstations, and diagnostic equipment through a brownout or ride out a short utility outage until generator power or an orderly shutdown takes over.

Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects both undervoltage and overvoltage conditions on the incoming line without switching to battery, which extends battery life and reduces the frequency of discharge cycles compared to a standard offline UPS. The built-in isolation transformer with Faraday shield removes common-mode noise from the output, a feature that matters for sensitive diagnostic and network equipment sharing power with other loads on the same circuit. Four NEMA 5-15R-HG hospital-grade outlets accept standard and hospital-grade plugs, and the unit ships with USB and DB9 connectivity for integration with monitoring software and building management or network monitoring platforms.

For AV/IT integrators working in medical office IT closets, imaging suites, or any commercial meeting space adjacent to clinical areas, this UPS system provides a single SKU that satisfies both hospital-grade electrical code requirements and standard rack-adjacent power protection needs. Its tower form factor works in a network closet or under a desk, and wall-mount capability supports tighter equipment room installations where floor space is limited.

Key Features

• 1000VA/750W Capacity — Sized to support network switches, small servers, and diagnostic or workstation equipment through short outages and utility sags.
• Hospital-Grade Isolation Transformer — Removes common-mode noise and provides full electrical isolation for equipment installed in patient-care vicinities or noise-sensitive environments.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) — Corrects brownouts and overvoltage conditions on-line, without switching to battery, preserving battery life in commercial deployment.
• Four NEMA 5-15R-HG Hospital-Grade Outlets — Accepts standard and hospital-grade plugs for flexible equipment connections.
• USB and DB9 Connectivity — Included cables support UPS monitoring software integration for remote status and automated shutdown scripting.
• Medical-Grade Certification — Approved to EN 60601-1-2:2015 and IEC 60601-1-2:2014 for use in patient-care areas.
• Replaceable VRLA Battery — Hot-swappable battery pack (RBC36SLT) supports maintenance without a full system replacement.
• Tower Form Factor with Wall-Mount Option — Fits equipment rooms, network closets, and under-desk installations where rack space is not available.

Typical Applications

• Network closet
• Server room
• Data center
• Commercial meeting space
• Government space

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SMART1200XLHG suitable for a standard network closet, or only patient-care areas?
It works in both. The hospital-grade certification and isolation transformer make it appropriate for clinical vicinities, while the standard NEMA 5-15R-HG outlets and 1000VA/750W capacity make it equally suited to a network closet, server room, or data center installation.

How much runtime should we expect for a typical network switch and small server load?
At half load, expect approximately 28 minutes of runtime, enough to bridge most utility outages or complete an orderly shutdown of connected equipment.

Can this UPS be integrated with existing network monitoring or building management systems?
Yes. The unit includes USB and DB9 connectivity, allowing integration with UPS monitoring software for remote status checks and automated shutdown scripting.

Does installation require an electrician or special hospital-grade receptacle?
No special receptacle is required for standard commercial deployment. The unit accepts a standard NEMA 5-15 outlet; hospital-grade compliance is built into the UPS itself via its outlets and isolation transformer.

What is the warranty coverage on the SMART1200XLHG?
Eaton backs the unit with a 2-year limited worldwide warranty covering parts and workmanship defects.

Is the internal battery user-replaceable?
Yes. The unit uses a replaceable VRLA battery pack (model RBC36SLT), allowing facilities staff to replace the battery without retiring the entire UPS system.

Will this UPS protect against both brownouts and voltage spikes?
Yes. Built-in automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects both undervoltage and overvoltage conditions without switching to battery, and the unit includes a 940-joule surge protection rating.

Is this UPS a good fit for a multi-room commercial deployment with several equipment closets?
Yes. Its tower form factor and wall-mount option make it practical to standardize across multiple network closets or equipment rooms in a single facility, simplifying spares and maintenance procedures.
