Middle Atlantic UPX-EXPANRUN-20 – NEXSYS 2000VA Expandable Run Time Battery

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic UPX-EXPANRUN-20 is an expandable run time battery unit that extends backup power for 2000VA NEXSYS UPS systems protecting commercial AV installations. When a power anomaly occurs, the additional battery capacity keeps displays, control processors, and network equipment running longer so systems can ride through outages or shut down gracefully. Up to four Expandable Run Time Units can be connected for even more run time, letting integrators size battery backup to the project's actual load and runtime requirements.

Product Description

Standby power sizing is a core part of commercial AV system design, and the UPX-EXPANRUN-20 gives integrators a straightforward path to longer protected runtime without replacing the UPS itself. The unit pairs with 2000VA NEXSYS UPS backup power systems, including the UPX-2000-2, UPX-RLNK-2000-2, and UPX-RLNK-2000-8. Expandable Run Time Units can be daisy-chained from the NEXSYS UPS or plugged in directly, and up to four units can be connected in a single system for extended battery capacity. Installation effort is minimal: everything is assembled and connected at the factory, rack ears come pre-installed with 4-post mounting brackets ready for rack mounting even with a third pair of rackrail, and the battery arrives already connected so the unit is essentially plug-in ready. All NEXSYS Expandable Run Time Units deliver pure sine wave output with automatic voltage regulation (AVR), providing clean power for sensitive AV and IT equipment. The hot-swappable battery is accessible from the front panel, so service technicians can replace batteries without disrupting the connected system. The unit is Energy Star certified and U.S. Department of Energy compliant for energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which UPS models work with the UPX-EXPANRUN-20?
It is designed for 2000VA NEXSYS UPS systems, including the UPX-2000-2, UPX-RLNK-2000-2, and UPX-RLNK-2000-8. Verify your UPS model before ordering.

How many run time units can I add to one UPS?
Up to four Expandable Run Time Units can be connected, either daisy-chained from the NEXSYS UPS or plugged in directly, for substantially longer protected runtime.

How difficult is installation in an equipment rack?
Minimal effort is required. The unit ships factory-assembled with rack ears and 4-post mounting brackets pre-installed and the battery already connected.

Can the battery be replaced without taking the AV system down?
Yes. The battery is hot-swappable through the front access panel, allowing service without disrupting connected equipment.

Does this unit provide clean power for sensitive AV gear?
Yes. NEXSYS Expandable Run Time Units deliver pure sine wave output with automatic voltage regulation, appropriate for sensitive processing and display equipment.

Is the unit energy efficient?
Yes. It is Energy Star certified and compliant with U.S. Department of Energy efficiency requirements.
