Eaton SMART1500PSGLCD – 1500VA Pure Sine Wave Gaming UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART1500PSGLCD is a 1500VA / 900W pure sine wave UPS built for protecting sensitive electronics in network closets, server rooms, and AV control racks. It delivers clean, uninterrupted power to networking gear, workstations, and audio/video equipment during outages and voltage fluctuations, making it a solid choice for commercial deployment where equipment uptime is critical. Integrators specifying a battery backup for conference room AV or a compact network closet UPS will find the pure sine wave output compatible with active PFC power supplies common in commercial-grade switches, NVRs, and AV processors. Its detachable LCD and USB monitoring make it practical for both desktop and rack-adjacent installation.

Product Description

Commercial AV/IT environments depend on stable power to keep switches, DSPs, control processors, and displays running through brief outages and brownouts. The SMART1500PSGLCD addresses this with a true pure sine wave output in both AC and battery mode, avoiding the compatibility issues that stepped-approximation UPS units can cause with active PFC power supplies found in modern network switches and AV equipment. This makes it a dependable option for a network closet UPS or as backup power behind a small AV rack in a huddle room, training room, or house of worship AV booth.

The unit provides 10 total outlets, split between 5 battery-backed UPS outlets and 5 surge-only outlets, allowing integrators to separate critical loads (switches, control processors) from non-critical loads (displays, peripherals) on a single unit. A detachable wireless LCD display lets techs monitor load, runtime, and status from up to 20 feet away without being tethered to the unit itself, useful when the UPS is tucked into a rack or cabinet with limited access. USB (HID) connectivity supports standard power management software for automated shutdown of connected servers or network appliances during extended outages.

At 900W of usable capacity, this UPS is sized for a single rack of networking equipment, a control processor and switch combination, or a small commercial AV deployment rather than an entire data center. For integrators handling commercial deployment across multiple rooms, this SmartPro-class UPS pairs well with rack-mount network switches and AV control processors already in a Creation Networks system design. Built-in dataline surge protection for Ethernet and telecom lines adds an extra layer of defense for structured cabling runs feeding networking closets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this UPS compatible with active PFC power supplies used in network switches?
Yes. The SMART1500PSGLCD outputs a pure sine wave in both AC and battery mode, which is compatible with active PFC power supplies commonly found in commercial network switches, servers, and AV processors.

Can this unit be rack-mounted in a network closet?
This is a tower-form UPS (0U) rather than a rack-mount chassis. It can be placed on a shelf inside or adjacent to a rack cabinet, or set beside networking equipment in a network closet or server room.

How much equipment can this UPS support?
At 900W usable capacity, it is sized for a single rack of network switches, a control processor, and similar loads. Confirm the combined wattage of connected devices against the 900W rating before installation.

Does it integrate with server or network appliance shutdown software?
Yes. USB (HID enabled) connectivity supports standard power management software for automated graceful shutdown of connected devices during extended outages.

What is covered under warranty?
Eaton provides a 3-year limited warranty in the US, Canada, and Mexico, along with up to $250,000 in connected equipment insurance.

Can I extend the runtime of this unit?
Yes. The SMART1500PSGLCD supports one optional external battery pack for extended runtime beyond the standard 3 minutes at full load.

Does this UPS protect network and telecom lines in addition to power?
Yes. It includes dataline surge protection for TEL/DSL lines and 10/100Base-T Ethernet, in addition to standard AC surge protection.

Is this model available for sale in all states?
This model is restricted from sale in California; check compliance requirements before specifying it for California-based installations.
