Tripp Lite SMART1000RM1U – 1000VA 800W 1U Rackmount Sine Wave UPS

Product Overview

The Tripp Lite SMART1000RM1U is a 1000VA / 800W line-interactive sine wave UPS that fits in a single 1U rack space, designed for protecting networking, telecom, and server equipment where rack space is limited. It delivers full-time sine wave output, AVR correction across a 83V–147V input range, and two independently controllable load banks for remote load management. With 25 minutes of half-load runtime, USB and DB9 communication ports, an optional SNMPWEBCARD slot, and a 2-year warranty with $250,000 equipment insurance, the SMART1000RM1U is a compact 1U rackmount UPS built for demanding 24/7 IT environments.

Product Description

The SMART1000RM1U provides 1000VA / 800W of line-interactive power protection in a 1U rack/tower form factor. Full-time sine wave output ensures guaranteed compatibility with active PFC power supplies and sensitive networking and telecom equipment, whether operating on line power or battery. AVR maintains regulated 120V nominal output during brownouts and overvoltages from 83V to 147V without engaging the battery, preserving battery charge for actual outages. Runtime is 25 minutes at half load (500W) and 10 minutes at full load (800W), providing ample time for graceful shutdown of connected systems.

Six NEMA 5-15R outlets are organized into two independently controllable two-outlet load banks, enabling remote power cycling of specific equipment or shedding of non-critical loads to extend runtime for priority devices. Communication interfaces include USB (HID-compliant), DB9 serial, and an EPO port; an accessory slot accepts the optional SNMPWEBCARD for SNMP-based network monitoring and management. Included PowerAlert software provides unattended shutdown capability, event logging, pager and email notifications, and configurable broadcast messaging. The WatchDog application (optional WATCHDOGSW) can automatically restart unresponsive applications or reboot locked systems by cycling UPS output. Five front-panel LEDs and audible alarms provide immediate at-a-glance status. Network-grade surge suppression protects against transient spikes. The unit ships with battery pre-assembled and ready to install. A 2-year warranty and $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance are included.

Key Features

• Full-Time Sine Wave Output — Delivers true sine wave AC in both line and battery operation, ensuring guaranteed compatibility with active PFC power supplies used in servers, switches, and telecom equipment.
• 1U Rack/Tower Form Factor — Occupies only one rack unit in standard 2-post or 4-post 19-inch racks, or stands upright as a tower using included accessories, maximizing rack space efficiency.
• 25-Minute Half-Load Runtime — Large internal batteries deliver up to 25 minutes at half load (500W) and 10 minutes at full load (800W), providing time for graceful system shutdown during extended outages.
• Two Independently Controllable Load Banks — Six outlets split into two two-outlet banks allow individual power cycling or load shedding via PowerAlert software, extending battery runtime for critical equipment.
• Wide-Range AVR (83V–147V) — Corrects brownouts and overvoltages across a broad input range without battery engagement, protecting equipment and preserving battery life in environments with unstable utility power.
• HID-Compliant USB Interface — Native USB HID support enables direct integration with Windows, macOS, and Linux power management features without additional drivers.
• Optional SNMPWEBCARD Slot — Built-in accessory slot accepts the optional SNMPWEBCARD for full network-based SNMP monitoring and remote management of UPS status and load banks.
• EPO Interface — Emergency Power Off port with cable allows immediate shutdown of the UPS and all connected equipment for fire or emergency situations in larger facilities.
• PowerAlert Software Included — Provides unattended shutdown, event logging, email/pager notifications, broadcast messaging, and support for monitoring multiple UPS systems over IP.
• Pre-Assembled Battery — Internal battery ships fully assembled and ready to install with no user battery connection required, simplifying initial deployment.
• $250,000 Equipment Insurance — Ultimate Lifetime Insurance covers connected equipment (USA and Canada) against damage caused by power events while protected by this UPS.

Typical Applications

• Data center and server room racks requiring 1U sine wave UPS protection with minimal space impact
• Network closets protecting switches, routers, and access points with load bank control
• Telecom equipment requiring pure sine wave battery backup for guaranteed compatibility
• Government and commercial IT installations requiring SNMP-manageable rackmount UPS systems
• Training rooms and commercial meeting spaces with rack-mounted AV and networking equipment

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SMART1000RM1U and the SMART1000RM1UN?

The SMART1000RM1UN includes a pre-installed WEBCARDLX network management interface card, enabling remote SNMP, web, Telnet, and SSH management out of the box. The SMART1000RM1U has an accessory slot for the optional SNMPWEBCARD but does not include any network card, making it a lower entry-cost option for deployments where remote management is added later or not required.

Does the SMART1000RM1U support 2-post rack installation?

The unit ships with hardware for standard 4-post rack installation. For 2-post open-frame rack mounting, the optional 2POSTRMKITWM accessory kit is required.

Can multiple UPS systems be monitored from a single PowerAlert installation?

Yes. The included PowerAlert software supports monitoring of multiple UPS systems over IP in addition to directly connected units via USB or DB9. Free PowerAlert enterprise management software is also available for larger deployments.

What is the WatchDog feature and does it require additional software?

WatchDog is an optional application (requires the separate WATCHDOGSW license) that automatically restarts unresponsive applications, operating systems, or completely locked computers by momentarily cycling UPS output. It provides an automated recovery mechanism for remote or unmanned systems.

Is this UPS compatible with networking equipment from Cisco?

Yes. The SMART1000RM1U has been validated for Cisco compatibility through interoperability testing. When used with the optional SNMPWEBCARD, it integrates with Cisco network management environments via SNMP.

What insurance coverage is included?

The SMART1000RM1U includes $250,000 in Ultimate Lifetime Insurance covering connected equipment damaged by qualifying power events while protected by this UPS, applicable to customers in the USA and Canada.
