Eaton SMART1500LCDXL – 1500VA UPS with LCD Display

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1500LCDXL is a 1500VA/900W line-interactive UPS with an onboard LCD display, built for rack-mount UPS for AV rack deployments in conference rooms, boardrooms, and shared AV equipment closets. This 1500VA UPS with LCD display for conference room use provides automatic voltage regulation, surge suppression, and extended runtime UPS for AV equipment support behind digital signage players, videoconferencing codecs, and rack-mounted control processors. Eight outlets and USB, DB9, RJ11, and RJ45 connectivity make it a practical fit for commercial UPS battery backup installation in a 2U rack-mount chassis.

Product Description

The SMART1500LCDXL delivers 900W of continuous output across eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, giving AV integrators enough outlet capacity to protect a codec, an amplifier, a network switch, and a control processor from a single rack-mount UPS. The front-panel LCD display shows load level, battery charge, input voltage, and runtime estimates at a glance, which is useful for facilities staff checking rack health during a walkthrough of a conference room or boardroom AV closet. Automatic voltage regulation corrects undervoltages as low as 75V and overvoltages as high as 147V without switching to battery, which reduces battery wear in buildings with unstable utility power. A 1038-joule surge suppression rating protects connected AV and networking equipment from transient spikes, while RJ11 and RJ45 jacks extend surge protection to phone and Ethernet lines running into the rack, a detail that matters when a conference room's AV rack also terminates building network drops. USB and DB9 ports support UPS monitoring software for remote status checks, useful for AV racks in unattended or infrequently visited rooms. When project runtime requirements exceed the internal battery's 2U-rated capacity, an optional BP24V15RT2U external battery pack extends backup time without replacing the UPS itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which battery cartridge does the SMART1500LCDXL use?

The SMART1500LCDXL uses the Eaton RBC1500 replacement battery cartridge, which is compatible with units that have a battery access door.

Can this UPS be mounted in a standard AV or IT rack?

Yes, the SMART1500LCDXL is built as a 2U rack-mount/tower unit compatible with standard 19-inch rack rails typically found in conference room and AV equipment racks.

Does the LCD display require software to view UPS status?

No, the front-panel LCD shows load, battery status, and runtime estimates directly on the unit, though the included USB and DB9 ports also support optional monitoring software for remote visibility.

Will the RJ11 and RJ45 ports protect my network and phone lines?

Yes, the RJ11 and RJ45 pass-through jacks include surge suppression for phone and Ethernet lines running through the AV rack, protecting connected network switches and VoIP equipment.

How can I extend the runtime beyond the built-in battery?

An optional BP24V15RT2U external battery pack connects to the SMART1500LCDXL to add backup time beyond what the internal battery alone provides.

What warranty and support come with this UPS?

The SMART1500LCDXL carries a 3-year limited warranty in the U.S. and Canada (2-year worldwide) plus $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance. Contact Creation Networks for help sizing this UPS for a specific conference room or AV rack deployment.
