Eaton SMART1500LCDXNC – Cloud-Connected Line-Interactive Rack UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1500LCDXNC is a 1440VA/1050W line-interactive cloud-connected UPS designed to protect network switches, servers, and AV control processors housed in a commercial AV rack or data closet. As a rack-mount UPS for AV rack deployments, it pairs automatic voltage regulation (AVR) with cloud-based remote monitoring, so an integrator can check battery health and load status across a commercial UPS battery backup installation without a site visit. Ten NEMA 5-15R outlets, split across three independently switchable load banks, give AV and IT teams granular control over connected equipment during an outage. This makes the SMART1500LCDXNC a practical fit anywhere reliable, remote-monitored UPS battery backup is required for AV or network infrastructure.

Product Description

Eaton built the SMART1500LCDXNC around a line-interactive topology that corrects brownouts as low as 97V and overvoltage as high as 145V back to a usable 120V without switching to battery, which reduces battery wear in facilities with unstable utility power. The UPS reports status, load, and battery condition to Eaton's cloud-based remote monitoring app, letting a facilities manager or AV integrator manage several racks from one dashboard instead of walking to each closet. Ten total outlets provide battery backup and surge protection, and the three switchable load banks let an administrator shed non-critical loads first to extend runtime for network switches, DSPs, or AV control processors. Runtime can be extended with an optional external battery module (BP24V15RT2U, sold separately), useful when a customer needs more than the standard half-load runtime. The compact chassis works as a desktop, tower, or rack-mount unit, making it a flexible choice for a conference room AV rack, a small data closet, or a network cabinet supporting digital signage players. Because the unit is cloud-connected, it also supports remote firmware updates and automated alerting, which is valuable for multi-site AV integrators managing UPS fleets across several buildings. For commercial UPS battery backup installation projects that require both AVR and remote visibility, the SMART1500LCDXNC covers protection for servers, switches, and AV control gear in a single 10-outlet unit.

Key Features

• Cloud-Based Remote Monitoring — Eaton's cloud app lets you check UPS status, battery health, and load across a rack-mount UPS for AV rack deployments without visiting the site.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) — Corrects brownouts as low as 97V and overvoltage as high as 145V back to nominal 120V without draining the battery.
• 10 NEMA 5-15R Outlets — Provides battery backup and surge protection for network switches, servers, and AV control equipment on a single unit.
• Three Switchable Load Banks — Allows remote shutdown of non-critical outlet groups to extend runtime for priority equipment during an outage.
• Expandable Runtime — Supports an optional external battery module (BP24V15RT2U) for extended runtime beyond the internal battery's capacity.
• 1440VA/1050W Capacity — Delivers enough capacity for network racks, AV control processors, and small server deployments in commercial environments.
• Flexible Form Factor — Deploys as a desktop, tower, or rack-mount unit to fit AV racks, data closets, or under-table installations.
• 3-Year Limited Warranty — Eaton backs the unit with a standard commercial warranty and optional $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SMART1500LCDXNC compatible with standard 19-inch AV racks?

Yes. The unit is designed to work as a rack-mount, tower, or desktop UPS, so it can be installed in a standard rack alongside AV switchers, DSPs, and network equipment.

Can I extend the runtime beyond the internal battery?

Yes. The SMART1500LCDXNC supports an optional external battery module, the BP24V15RT2U (sold separately), for facilities that need longer backup time during extended outages.

Does the cloud monitoring feature require a subscription?

Eaton's cloud-based monitoring app is included with the unit and connects over Ethernet; contact Creation Networks for current details on account setup and any ongoing service requirements.

What is the replacement battery for this UPS?

The SMART1500LCDXNC uses two RBC51 battery cartridges, which should be replaced as a set when the UPS reports reduced battery capacity.

What warranty does Eaton provide on this UPS?

Eaton backs the SMART1500LCDXNC with a 3-year limited warranty in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico, with optional Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage up to $250,000.

How do I integrate this UPS into a commercial UPS battery backup installation with multiple racks?

Because each unit reports independently to Eaton's cloud dashboard, integrators can standardize on the SMART1500LCDXNC across multiple AV racks or data closets and monitor all units from one interface.
