Middle Atlantic UPX-RLNK-1000R-2 – NEXSYS 1000VA UPS with RackLink

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic UPX-RLNK-1000R-2 is a NEXSYS 1000VA line interactive rackmount UPS with bank outlet control and RackLink remote management built in, purpose-designed for commercial AV installation. It conditions power with Automatic Voltage Regulation and delivers pure sine wave output so sensitive control, audio, and video equipment runs cleanly through utility disturbances. Because RackLink is enabled out of the box, integrators get network power monitoring and management without adding a card. It arrives factory-assembled with rack ears pre-installed and the battery connected, ready to mount and plug in.

Product Description

NEXSYS is built on Middle Atlantic's two-decade commitment to power products designed, engineered, and built specifically for AV, and the UPX-RLNK-1000R-2 reflects that in the details that matter on installation day. Everything is assembled and connected from the factory: rack ears come pre-installed with 4-post mounting brackets ready for a third pair of rackrail, and the battery is already connected, so the unit racks in and plugs straight into service. The IEC input accepts shorter or longer cords for cleaner cable management, and a 6-foot (1.8 m) IEC power cord is included. Two controllable outlet banks let integration teams cycle or schedule groups of connected devices, a practical tool for remote reboots in conference room and campus AV deployments. The built-in RackLink remote management is discoverable through the RackLink Discovery Tool on PC, Apple, or Android devices, while the NEXSYS Power Management Software on a PC handles customization of settings and notifications. Reminders for items like battery replacement can be raised via email or on the UPS itself, and the front LCD reports the IP address, MAC address, device name, and even the battery installation date for fast commissioning and service. Pure sine wave output and AVR keep connected equipment on the cleanest possible power, and installers can set specific power-quality thresholds that switch the unit to battery when incoming utility power degrades. A hot swappable battery behind the front access panel allows service without disrupting the system, and an RS232 port plus two defined dry contact ports support third-party control and alerting. The unit is Energy Star certified and U.S. Department of Energy compliant for energy efficiency. Pair it with racks and power accessories from the Middle Atlantic collection at Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to add a network card for remote management?

No. This model is RackLink enabled out of the box. Connect it to the network and discover it with the RackLink Discovery Tool on a PC, Apple, or Android device.

What does bank outlet control let me do?

The two outlet banks can be controlled as groups, allowing scheduled power cycling or remote reboots of connected devices such as codecs and displays without a site visit.

How does it integrate with a control system?

An included RS232 port supports control integration, and two dry contact ports provide defined alerts: one for battery switchover when utility power is lost or a threshold is hit, and one for low battery level with customizable thresholds.

How difficult is installation?

Minimal. Rack ears arrive pre-installed with 4-post mounting brackets, the battery ships connected, and a 6-foot IEC power cord is included, so the unit mounts and powers up immediately.

Can the battery be replaced without taking the system down?

Yes. The battery is hot swappable through the front access panel, so service does not disrupt connected equipment.

Will it protect equipment with sensitive power supplies?

Yes. Pure sine wave output with Automatic Voltage Regulation delivers clean power, and you can set power-quality thresholds that transfer the load to battery whenever utility power degrades.
