Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) AVR protects your equipment from incremental hardware damage, data loss and performance problems that can be caused by low-voltage conditions (brownouts) and overvoltages. The Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD automatically corrects brownouts as low as 75V and overvoltages as high as 147V back to 120V without drawing on battery backup power that may be needed to support your equipment during a blackout.
LCD Display The Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD features a large illuminated LCD screen with dimmer switch that alerts you to potential power problems. This screen shows input voltage, 5-bar battery charge level, overload, AVR, on battery and replace battery status at a glance. It can be rotated for easy viewing in both horizontal and vertical UPS installations.
Outlet Configuration plus Tel/DSL/Ethernet Protection The Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD features 8 AC outlets with a unique outlet design that accommodates two large transformers without blocking other outlets offers a complete power protection solution for PCs, A/V components and all home and office electronics. Built-in single-line tel/DSL/Ethernet (RJ45) jacks with included cable to protect a single dialup/DSL phone line or network Ethernet connection.
USB & DB9 Ports and Free PowerAlert Software Free Power Alert software (available via download from www.tripplite.com) works with USB port and DB9 ports (USB and DB9 cables included). These ports enable safe unattended system shutdown and file saves in the event of a prolonged power failure. The USB port also enables integration with built-in power management and auto shutdown features of Windows and Mac OS X.
Pros: Looked Pretty
Cons: Poorly Designed, Unreliable, Non-Replacable Batteries
Overall Review: I bought this unit in 2014 and had it 2 months when things started to happen, but it was infrequent so I thought I was at fault. In my area of Florida we have frequent brown outs and power drops lasting 15 to 20 seconds. The power drops occur almost weekly and brownouts depend of temperature. I had an APC 550 that I was under powered for my equipment so I bought this unit thinking my new desktop and server would be protected. Wrong. Initially I would question if something was wrong because the unit would be off as well as hardware, but it only happened 2 times so I thought it was my fault. At 7 months it started occasionally beeping and after 8 months the unit wouldn't even turn on or charge and tripp lite was no help at all as the batteries can't be replaced. They also couldn't say it would be covered by any warranty (no repair locations in South Florida) Rather than pay $50+ to send it back to them for service (non replaceable batteries) I decided to write it off as a learning experience. Gave it to an electrician friend who likes to tinker with things like this. A week later he said it was sent to recycling. His thoughts were the unit was designed for minimal use and was sort of designed to fail with the non replaceable battery design and poor workmanship. My work computer has an APC and have had it since my employer sent me to work at home 4 years ago and it still works without any fuss or needing new batteries. Needless to say this was replaced with an APC unit as well.
Pros: Cheap. Rack mount. LED display.
Cons: After a few months one my UPS went bad. Scene it was under warranty i e-mail trippplite and asked to RMA it. They guided me through steps to test and the test failed. I was informed it was the batteries going bad. I requested a box prepaid as shipping would be just as must to buy a new one. They said they don't do prepaid i would have to pay myself. Terrible support there.
Overall Review: Horrible electrical engineering. Should the batteries die this UPS which UPS also serve as a surge protected and even do something that a 10 dollar surge protect form Wal-marts shelf can do cause it will refuse to funtion if the batteries are dead. Also the batteries are NOT end user maintenance they are only (according to manual) serviceable by trained technicians at tripplite as you have to crack open the entire unit just to replace them. Never seen ANY UPS have to do this. I will never purchase a tripplite item again.
Pros: 1500 watt UPS with auto shutdown/restart. LCD shows real time AC Volts and proves continually why a good UPS in needed as it regulates the fluctuating input current. Software can be used to shutdown/restart multiple PC's through network without needing to be connected directly to the UPS.
Cons: Needing to install a VMA to run the software seems extreme and may be complicated to some but is worth the effort.
Overall Review: 1500 watts is sufficient for my home server build but I only connect that and the monitor to it just in case.
Pros: Front panel light is adjustable and you can easily mute it when power does go off from a front panel button.
Cons: None
Pros: Relatively inexpensive, as long as you don't count the cost of potential data loss when it drops power to your server.
Cons: This unit works great...until the batteries get old. At that point, the unit will randomly drop power to the connected equipment. Doesn't tell you that the batteries are bad, doesn't do anything except unceremoniously killing power to whatever's connected. I called Tripp Lite support about this, and they said it's perfectly normal for an "Uninterruptable" Power Supply to interrupt power in this way. If you want an actual UPS, this is not the product for you.
Pros:
Is a UPS, appears to switch to battery properly.
Serial and USB connections
Cons:
"Rack mount" brackets are designed to grip the edge of the UPS. Screws go into the plastic, not meta.
Holes in bracket are too small for M6 or 1/4" screws. They are too close to the edge and the metal is too thin for expanding the holes to be possible.
Brackets are thin, cheap metal that bends easily.
Wall-wart outlets result in the transformers hanging off the top/bottom or sides of the UPS, not very practical.
Overall Review:
This is not a rack-mount UPS; it's a tower UPS with a couple of cheap brackets included so they can claim it's rack mountable.
I'm not sure it would be very stable standing on edge, the best orientation may be sitting flat. Who wants a 16" wide, 3.5" high UPS sitting on their floor.
Pros: It has a trendy blue LCD readout to let you know that the line voltage and battery levels are OK. Unfortunately, that's while it's cutting power to all of your devices for absolutely no reason.
Cons: Replaced a 600W TrippLite version that I thought was just underpowered for what I had hooked up to it, but in hindsight was probably my first indication that TL is a questionable brand. Had bad experiences w/APC, and wanted to support a local Chicago company. Never again. A CLACK sound will be followed by the unit dropping power to all connected devices with no power issues in the house at all. No response from TL support, now I have to find a way to responsibly dispose of the unit.
Overall Review: All this device is supposed to do is provide enough time to elegantly shut down operating systems and routers in the event of a power outage. Instead, it cuts power to all of those devices without any warning, while on a full battery, under normal AC and environmental conditions. I can only imagine what spikes it's delivering when it tanks out. It happened frequently enough that I just took the thing offline and abandoned it after getting no help from TrippLite email support.
