Middle Atlantic NEXSYS UPS 1000 & 1500 VA Expandable Run Time Unit - UPX-EXPANRUN-10-15

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic NEXSYS UPX-EXPANRUN-10-15 is a battery expansion module compatible with NEXSYS 1000VA and 1500VA UPS systems, extending the runtime of connected AV and IT equipment during power outages. It adds supplemental battery capacity without replacing the primary UPS unit, allowing integrators to tailor backup runtime to the specific requirements of each installation. Available at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

The NEXSYS UPS platform from Middle Atlantic is designed specifically for AV rack installations, with form factors and feature sets oriented toward the needs of AV integrators rather than general IT UPS products. The UPX-EXPANRUN-10-15 extends this platform by adding external battery capacity to the 1000VA and 1500VA NEXSYS UPS units, increasing runtime beyond what the internal battery alone provides. This is particularly valuable in AV installations where even a brief power interruption would disrupt a presentation, broadcast, or facility operation, and where the internal runtime of the base UPS is insufficient to ride through typical outages or allow for controlled shutdown. The expansion module connects to the base NEXSYS unit using the manufacturer-specified interface, and runtime scales with the additional battery capacity provided. Multiple expansion modules may be compatible depending on the base unit configuration; consult the NEXSYS documentation for maximum expansion configurations. The module is rack-mountable, maintaining the clean rack installation aesthetic of the NEXSYS platform. Battery chemistry and maintenance intervals are consistent with the NEXSYS product family. The UPX-EXPANRUN-10-15 is commonly specified in command centers, broadcast facilities, corporate AV systems, and any installation where extended UPS runtime is a project specification requirement. Creation Networks stocks NEXSYS UPS accessories for AV integrators.

Key Features

• Compatible with 1000VA and 1500VA NEXSYS UPS — Expands runtime for both common NEXSYS capacity tiers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much additional runtime does the UPX-EXPANRUN-10-15 provide?

A: Runtime depends on the connected load. Middle Atlantic provides runtime tables for the NEXSYS platform; consult the product documentation or contact Creation Networks for runtime estimates based on your equipment load.

Q: Can multiple expansion modules be stacked?

A: The NEXSYS platform supports expansion configurations; the maximum number of modules depends on the base UPS unit. Refer to the NEXSYS UPS documentation for supported expansion limits.

Q: Is the UPX-EXPANRUN-10-15 compatible with NEXSYS UPS units outside the 1000VA and 1500VA range?

A: No. This module is designed for the 1000VA and 1500VA NEXSYS units only. Other NEXSYS UPS capacities require their corresponding expansion module. Contact Creation Networks to confirm compatibility for your specific unit.
