Middle Atlantic UPS-2200R-8 – Premium Series 2200VA UPS, 8 Outlets

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic UPS-2200R-8 is a Premium Series rackmount UPS backup power system delivering 2200VA/1650W of protection with individual outlet control for commercial AV installations. Line interactive topology with pure sine wave output keeps sensitive processors, displays, and control systems running cleanly through utility sags, surges, and outages. A fast 4 millisecond transfer time prevents the lockups and reboots that interrupt meetings and services. It is the backup power foundation for integrated AV racks where uptime and orderly shutdown matter.

Product Description

Power problems are the leading cause of nuisance service calls in commercial AV deployment, and the UPS-2200R-8 is engineered to remove them from the equation. Its line interactive UPS technology operates quietly and efficiently, conditioning incoming power without the heat and energy cost of full double-conversion designs. Automatic Voltage Regulation holds output at a stable 120VAC, correcting brownouts and overvoltage without dipping into battery reserve, which extends battery life in facilities with chronically poor power. When an outage does occur, the 4 millisecond (quarter-cycle) transfer time moves the load to battery before connected DSPs, codecs, and control processors can drop out. Pure sine wave output provides the cleanest power waveform for sensitive electronics, including equipment with power factor corrected supplies. Individual outlet control lets integrators manage connected devices per outlet, and the series includes an IP addressable model for installations that require network-based power management. Load shedding technology sheds lower-priority outlets during extended outages to stretch runtime for critical items such as network switches and control systems. When batteries reach end of life, the hot swappable battery design with front panel access allows replacement without powering down the rack or pulling the unit from its rails. For matching racks, power distribution, and accessories, see the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can a 2200VA/1650W UPS support?

It is sized for a typical integrated AV rack: control processor, DSP, network switch, wireless receivers, source devices, and similar loads. Total your equipment's wattage and keep it under 1650W with headroom for runtime.

Why does pure sine wave output matter for AV systems?

Many modern AV and IT devices use power factor corrected supplies that can misbehave or shut down on simulated sine wave UPS units. Pure sine wave output guarantees clean, utility-grade power on battery.

Will connected equipment glitch when the UPS transfers to battery?

No. The 4 millisecond quarter-cycle transfer is fast enough that connected electronics ride through the transition without disruption or lockups.

Can I replace the battery without shutting the system down?

Yes. The battery is hot swappable through the front panel, so technicians can service it in place without powering down the rack or removing the unit.

Is there a network-managed version of this UPS?

Yes. The Premium Series includes an IP addressable model with individual outlet control for installations that need remote power management over the network. Contact Creation Networks to confirm the right model for your project.

How does load shedding extend runtime?

During a prolonged outage, the UPS can shed lower-priority outlets and dedicate remaining battery capacity to critical items such as the control processor and network gear.

Does the UPS-2200R-8 include a manufacturer warranty?

Yes. Middle Atlantic power products are backed by a manufacturer warranty, and Creation Networks is an authorized dealer, so your purchase carries full factory coverage and support.
