Eaton SMART2200VS – 2.2kVA Tower UPS Line-Interactive

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART2200VS is a 2.2kVA/1.6kW line-interactive tower UPS built for commercial AV racks, data closets, and network equipment rooms that need dependable commercial UPS battery backup installation without consuming rack space. As a rack-mount UPS for AV rack alternative in tower form, it delivers 7 minutes of runtime at full load and 19 minutes at half load, giving IT and AV teams time to shut down connected gear cleanly during an outage. Its automatic voltage regulation corrects brownouts and overvoltages without switching to battery, extending battery life in facilities with unstable utility power. This makes it a solid tower UPS for server and network equipment in commercial installations where floor-mount placement is preferred over rack space.

Product Description

The SMART2200VS occupies only 106 square inches of floor space and stands 14.25 inches tall, making it easy to place beside a credenza rack, under a table in a conference room AV closet, or in a data closet corner. It includes 9 total outlets — 7 NEMA 5-15R and 2 NEMA 5-15/20R — with three pairs individually controllable via software so integrators can selectively reboot remote AV switchers, codecs, or network gear, or shed non-critical loads to stretch runtime on more critical equipment. Two DB9 serial ports and two USB ports support unattended shutdown scripting and remote monitoring, which is valuable for a commercial UPS battery backup installation managed across multiple sites. Line-interactive voltage regulation corrects brownouts down to 79V and overvoltages up to 147V back to a stable 120V nominal output, protecting sensitive AV switching, DSP, and networking hardware from voltage-related failures. The unit ships in a gray tower enclosure and is compatible with PowerAlert and Watchdog monitoring software for centralized fleet management. For AV integrators building out commercial-grade power protection in a data closet or equipment room, the SMART2200VS bridges the gap between small desktop UPS units and full rack-mount systems.

Key Features

• 2200VA/1600W Capacity — Supports mid-size AV racks, network switches, and telecommunications equipment through moderate power events.
• Selectively Switchable Outlet Banks — Three pairs of outlets can be individually cycled via software to reboot unresponsive equipment or shed non-critical loads remotely.
• Line-Interactive AVR — Corrects voltage sags as low as 79V and surges to 147V without draining the battery, preserving runtime for genuine outages.
• Small Footprint Tower Design — Occupies only 106 square inches of floor space, ideal for data closets and equipment rooms with limited rack space.
• Dual Monitoring Interfaces — Two DB9 and two USB ports enable unattended shutdown scripting and remote power monitoring integration.
• PowerAlert and Watchdog Compatible — Integrates with Tripp Lite's monitoring software suite for centralized management across a commercial AV deployment.

Typical Applications

• Commercial meeting space equipment rooms

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the SMART2200VS be mounted in a standard 19-inch AV rack?

No, the SMART2200VS is a tower-only design intended for floor or shelf placement rather than direct rack mounting. For a rack-mount UPS for AV rack applications, integrators typically pair it with a shelf or select a rack-optimized SmartPro model instead.

How many devices can this UPS support in a commercial AV closet?

Load depends on the combined wattage of connected equipment, but the 1600W capacity typically supports a mix of network switches, AV control processors, and low-draw signal equipment. Confirm total connected load stays below 1600W for reliable runtime.

Does this UPS require special installation for commercial deployment?

Installation is plug-and-play with standard NEMA 5-15/20 connections; no electrical modification is required for most commercial AV or data closet environments. Contact Creation Networks if a dedicated 20A circuit is needed for the input plug.

Can the switchable outlets be used to remotely reboot AV equipment?

Yes, three pairs of outlets can be individually powered off and on through the included software interface, useful for remotely resetting unresponsive switchers, codecs, or network gear.

What is the warranty coverage on the SMART2200VS?

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

Is remote monitoring available for multi-site AV deployments?

Yes, the dual DB9 and USB ports support PowerAlert and Watchdog monitoring software for unattended shutdown and centralized status reporting across sites.
