Eaton SU3000XLCD – 3kVA Tower Double-Conversion UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SU3000XLCD is a 3000VA/2700W SmartOnline tower UPS built for commercial equipment that needs continuous, regulated power without occupying rack space. As a 3000VA tower UPS, it suits AV control rooms, back-of-house equipment closets, and server rooms where a floor-standing form factor is preferred over rack mounting. Its double-conversion UPS with LCD display gives on-site staff a real-time readout of load, runtime, and battery status without connecting to a laptop, making it a practical commercial UPS battery backup installation for facilities without dedicated remote monitoring infrastructure.

Product Description

The SU3000XLCD maintains perfect output by converting incoming AC to DC and then reconverting it back to fully regulated sine wave AC, isolating connected AV, server, and networking equipment from the power problems present on most commercial electrical feeds. This constant online operation is the same principle used in the 9PX rack-mount line, but packaged here in a 0U floor-standing tower for facilities that prefer a floor-standing UPS for commercial equipment rather than dedicating rack units to power protection. It provides five managed outlets, four 5-20R and one L5-30R, giving enough capacity for a small AV control rack, a server, or a mix of both from a single unit. Internal VRLA batteries deliver roughly 5.7 minutes of runtime at full 2700W load, extending to about 16.7 minutes at half load, and the unit can be expanded with up to four external battery modules (EBP-0206) for facilities requiring longer bridge time before generator transfer. The front-panel LCD display shows load percentage, input/output voltage, and battery status directly, which is useful for facilities staff doing a routine walk-through of an AV control room or equipment closet. As a SmartOnline UPS for server and AV equipment, the SU3000XLCD is a solid fit where floor space is available but rack space is not, or where equipment is spread across a room rather than centralized in a single rack.

Key Features

• Online Double-Conversion Topology — Continuously regenerates output power, isolating connected equipment from surges, sags, and line noise at all times.
• Front-Panel LCD Display — Shows load, voltage, and battery status directly on the unit without requiring a laptop or network connection.
• Floor-Standing Tower Design — Frees up rack space in installations where floor space is available but rack units are limited or already committed.
• Five Managed Outlets — Four 5-20R and one L5-30R outlet support a mix of AV, server, and higher-current equipment.
• Expandable Runtime — Supports up to four external EBP-0206 battery modules for facilities needing longer bridge time during outages.
• USB and DB9 Connectivity — Supports shutdown software integration, with an optional SNMP/web card for network monitoring.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom and executive conference room back-of-house equipment closets with floor space available
• Broadcast studio control rooms running servers and AV processing equipment together
• Auditorium and multi-purpose room equipment rooms needing extended, expandable runtime
• Commercial meeting space installations combining server and AV equipment on shared power

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this UPS need to be rack-mounted?

No, the SU3000XLCD is a floor-standing tower unit and does not require rack space, though it can be placed near a rack in a shared equipment room.

Can I extend the runtime beyond the internal battery?

Yes, it supports up to four external EBP-0206 battery modules for facilities that need longer bridge time before a generator or utility restoration.

What does the LCD display show?

The front panel displays load percentage, input and output voltage, and battery status, giving facilities staff an at-a-glance readout without connecting to a computer.

Can this unit power both AV and server equipment at once?

Yes, its five managed outlets, four 5-20R and one L5-30R, support a mix of standard AV equipment and higher-current server or networking hardware.

What warranty is included, and can it be extended?

The unit ships with a 2-year limited factory warranty, with optional extended coverage plans available through Eaton.

Does this UPS require special electrical work for installation?

It uses an L5-30P plug on an 8-foot cord; confirm the receptacle matches your building's circuit before installation, and consult an electrician if a new circuit is required.

Can Creation Networks help determine whether a tower or rack-mount UPS is the better fit for my space?

Yes, our team can evaluate your available floor space, rack capacity, and equipment load to recommend between a tower unit like the SU3000XLCD or a rack-mount alternative.
