Eaton SMART3000NET – 3kVA SmartPro Tower UPS Extended Run

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART3000NET is a 3kVA line-interactive UPS for AV rack, server, and telecommunications applications that demand higher power handling and remote monitoring in a single tower unit. As a commercial UPS for broadcast studio equipment and large-format AV installations, it protects networking accessories and control systems from blackouts, voltage fluctuations, and transient surges. Its expandable runtime and multiple monitoring ports make it a solid extended run UPS for server rack AV integration in auditoriums, broadcast facilities, and other high-demand commercial spaces.

Product Description

The SMART3000NET is built for environments where downtime is not an option, offering 3000VA / 2400 watt power handling across eight protected outlets split into independently switchable load banks. Large internal batteries provide 23 minutes of runtime at half load and 7 minutes at full load, and that runtime can be extended further with optional external battery packs, giving integrators a path to scale backup time as project requirements grow. This makes the unit a genuine extended run UPS for server rack AV integration work where control processors, matrix switchers, and network gear in a broadcast studio or auditorium AV rack need to stay powered through longer outages. Built-in remote monitoring via an RS-232 port plus two contact-closure ports supports integration with building management or AV control systems, while optional SNMP support through an external SNMPWEBSOLO adapter positions it as a genuine SNMP UPS for commercial AV rack deployments managed over the network. Included PowerAlert monitoring and unattended shutdown software, along with complete cabling, simplifies configuration for IT and AV staff who need visibility into both UPS status and site power conditions. Network-grade AC surge suppression protects sensitive equipment from damage caused by transient surges, an important consideration in large venues with heavier electrical loads and shared circuits. The unit's large gray tower housing, front panel LEDs, and audible alarm provide clear at-a-glance status for line power, battery power, charge level, and voltage regulation, which is valuable in a data closet or AV control room where a technician needs to diagnose an issue quickly. A 2-year warranty (3 years with registration) plus $250,000 in connected equipment insurance backs the unit for demanding commercial deployments.
