Middle Atlantic UPS-2200R-8IP – 2200VA Rackmount UPS with IP Outlet Control

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic UPS-2200R-8IP is a 2200VA Premium Series rackmount UPS built for protecting integrated AV and IT equipment in commercial installations. It pairs line interactive backup power with a web-enabled network interface card and individual outlet control, so integrators can monitor power health and reboot connected devices over IP without a truck roll. Pure sine wave output and automatic voltage regulation deliver stable, clean 120VAC power to processors, control systems, network switches, and displays. For equipment racks that anchor conference rooms, control rooms, and campus AV deployments, this UPS provides both runtime and remote power management in one chassis.

Product Description

Power problems are the most common root cause of locked-up AV systems, and the UPS-2200R-8IP addresses them at the rack level. Its line interactive topology corrects sags and surges through automatic voltage regulation rather than switching to battery, which means quieter operation, longer battery life, and lower energy consumption during day-to-day commercial deployment. When utility power does fail, a fast 4 millisecond transfer time (one quarter of a cycle) keeps sensitive electronics running with no disruption or lockups.

The defining capability of this IP-addressable model is individual outlet control. Each of the eight outlets can be managed independently through the built-in network card, allowing remote reboots of a frozen codec or DSP from anywhere on the network. Load shedding technology extends protection for critical devices by dropping lower-priority outlets as battery runtime decreases, so the equipment that matters most stays up longest. Pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with power-factor-corrected supplies and other sensitive devices that reject simulated waveforms.

Serviceability is handled with a hot-swappable battery accessible from the front panel, so battery replacement happens without powering down the rack or pulling the unit from the rail. As part of an integrated power strategy, the UPS-2200R-8IP installs directly into standard 19-inch equipment racks, including Middle Atlantic rack enclosures available from Creation Networks.

Key Features

• 2200VA Backup Capacity — Provides substantial runtime for a fully loaded AV rack of processors, switchers, and network equipment.
• Line Interactive Topology — Corrects voltage fluctuations without switching to battery for quiet operation and energy savings.
• 4 ms Transfer Time — Quarter-cycle transfer to battery prevents system disruption or lockups during outages.
• Pure Sine Wave Output — Delivers the cleanest power waveform for sensitive electronics and modern switching power supplies.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation — Maintains stable 120VAC output through brownouts and overvoltage conditions.
• IP-Addressable Individual Outlet Control — Web-enabled network card lets technicians monitor power and reboot each of the eight outlets remotely.
• Load Shedding Technology — Prioritizes critical devices by shedding non-essential outlets to extend battery runtime where it counts.
• Hot-Swappable Battery — Front panel access allows battery service without downtime or removing the unit from the rack.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the UPS-2200R-8IP compatible with standard 19-inch equipment racks?
Yes. It is a rackmount design that installs in any standard 19-inch rack, including Middle Atlantic ERK, SR, and BGR series enclosures.

How does individual outlet control work in an AV installation?
The built-in web-enabled network card exposes each of the eight outlets for remote on/off and reboot control over IP, so a technician can power-cycle a single locked-up device without interrupting the rest of the rack.

Will pure sine wave output matter for my connected equipment?
Yes, for sensitive electronics. Pure sine wave power matches utility power quality and avoids the compatibility problems that simulated sine wave UPS units can cause with power-factor-corrected supplies in modern AV and IT gear.

Can I replace the battery without shutting down connected equipment?
Yes. The battery is hot swappable and accessible from the front panel, so service is performed while the UPS remains in the rack and the load stays powered.

How does load shedding protect critical devices?
As battery runtime depletes during an outage, the UPS can drop power to lower-priority outlets, reserving remaining capacity for designated critical equipment such as network cores or recording devices.

Does this UPS integrate with control and monitoring systems?
Its IP-addressable network interface allows power monitoring and outlet control over the network, making it suitable for managed commercial deployments where remote visibility is required.

What warranty and support apply to this product?
The UPS-2200R-8IP is covered by Middle Atlantic's manufacturer warranty. Creation Networks is an authorized dealer and can assist with pre-sale sizing, runtime questions, and post-sale support.
