Middle Atlantic UPS-OL2200R – Online UPS 2200VA 120V Rackmount

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic UPS-OL2200R is a 2200VA online (double-conversion) rackmount UPS delivering continuous pure sine wave power conditioning and battery backup for AV racks and sensitive electronics. As a double-conversion unit, it keeps connected equipment running on regulated inverter output at all times, providing zero-transfer-time protection against outages, voltage sags, surges, and power noise. Operating on 120V AC, it integrates directly into standard 19-inch equipment racks alongside the equipment it protects.

Product Description

The UPS-OL2200R’s online double-conversion design continuously converts incoming AC to DC and back to AC via the inverter, so the load is always isolated from raw utility power. This architecture eliminates the brief battery transfer delay that affects standby and line-interactive units, making it suitable for equipment that cannot tolerate any interruption during power events. AV processors, DSPs, network switches, and video distribution equipment with PFC-based power supplies all benefit from the consistent, regulated output waveform.

At 2200VA, this unit is sized for mid-scale AV rack deployments — a primary equipment rack in a conference room, training center, courtroom, or operations facility where ride-through power is needed but the load is below the threshold requiring the larger 3000VA UPS-OL3000R. The rackmount form factor keeps the UPS co-located with the protected equipment, eliminating long AC extension runs and maintaining a clean, organized rack infrastructure. Like all Middle Atlantic UPS products, it is optimized for professional AV integration environments.

The UPS-OL2200R is appropriate for installations where the AV integrator needs to guarantee uptime during brief power events and avoid equipment shutdown mid-session. The pure sine wave output protects sensitive amplifiers, control processors, and codec equipment from the waveform distortion that characterizes modified sine wave UPS output. Battery maintenance and replacement characteristics should be reviewed for the specific deployment cycle.

Key Features

• Online Double-Conversion Topology — Zero-transfer-time battery protection; connected load never sees raw utility power.
• 2200VA Capacity — Mid-scale AV rack capacity, suited for primary conference room and training facility racks.
• Pure Sine Wave Output — Safe and compatible with active power factor correction (PFC) power supplies.
• 120V AC Input/Output — Standard North American voltage, no step-up transformer required.
• Rackmount Form Factor — Mounts in a standard 19-inch rack for co-location with protected equipment.
• Complete Power Conditioning — Handles voltage sags, surges, frequency variations, line noise, and full outages.
• AV Rack Integration — Designed by Middle Atlantic for AV infrastructure, not repurposed IT UPS hardware.
• Battery Backup Runtime — Provides hold-up time for graceful shutdown or brief outage ride-through.

Typical Applications

• Conference room and boardroom AV racks requiring power conditioning and backup
• Training and simulation center AV infrastructure
• Courtroom and government facility AV systems with uptime requirements
• Smaller broadcast and production facilities with moderate rack loads
• AV-over-IP edge racks in distributed systems where a mid-size UPS is appropriate

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the UPS-OL2200R compare to the UPS-OL3000R?

A: Both units share the same online double-conversion topology and pure sine wave output. The OL2200R is rated at 2200VA versus 3000VA for the OL3000R. Choose the OL2200R for medium-sized AV racks and the OL3000R for larger, higher-load deployments.

Q: Is 2200VA sufficient for a typical conference room AV rack?

A: For most conference room deployments including a codec, DSP, video distribution, control processor, and power distribution, 2200VA is generally sufficient. A load calculation based on actual equipment is recommended before ordering.

Q: Does pure sine wave output matter for modern AV equipment?

A: Yes. Most professional AV equipment manufactured in the past decade uses PFC power supplies that require pure sine wave input. A modified sine wave UPS can cause power supply malfunctions, overheating, or equipment damage in these devices.

Q: What happens if the input power fails while the UPS is online?

A: In online double-conversion mode, the load transfers instantly to battery with no interruption. The transition is transparent to connected equipment because the inverter is already supplying the output.

Q: How long will the UPS-OL2200R run on battery?

A: Runtime depends on the actual connected load. Refer to the Middle Atlantic runtime chart for the UPS-OL2200R or contact creationnetworks.net for guidance.

Q: Can batteries be replaced in the field?

A: Consult the product documentation for battery replacement procedures. Contact creationnetworks.net for battery replacement kits and support.
