## Description

From the manufacturer Line-Interactive Tower UPS with LCD Key Specifications Model: SMART1500LCDT Load Capacity: 1500 VA (900 W) Nominal AC Input/Output: 120 V, 50/60 Hz AC Outlets: 10 x 5-15R (5 UPS, 5 Surge-Only) Output Waveform (AC Mode): Sine Wave Output Waveform (Battery Mode): PWM Sine Wave Input Cord: 6 ft. (1.8 m) Cord with 5-15P Plug Half-Load Runtime: 10 min. (450 W Load) User-Replaceable Battery: Yes (2 x RBC51) Weight: 27 lb. (12.3 kg) This line-interactive UPS system protects your valuable equipment from damage, downtime and data loss. Battery backup supports equipment during outages. AVR corrects power sags (brownouts) and overvoltages. Surge protection blocks harmful transient voltages on AC, phone, network and coaxial lines. The multifunction LCD screen displays power conditions and provides easy access to settings. The USB port connects to a computer for power management and automatic file saves. The 3-year warranty reflect Tripp Lite's commitment to product quality and customer satisfaction. Features Power Protection and Battery Backup for Home and Office Between severe weather, the aging electrical grid and hazards lurking inside your own walls, your equipment is under constant attack from power problems. Even a brief loss of power or a momentary surge can ruin your equipment and destroy irreplaceable data. Prevent damage, downtime and data loss by installing this UPS system. It conditions incoming AC power, provides enough battery backup to outlast most outages and automatically saves open files and shuts down computers gracefully during extended blackouts. Common Applications - Protect Home and Office Computer Systems Workgroup Servers, Media Servers, High-Performance Workstations, Office Computers, Gaming PCs, Displays, Inkjet Printers, Modems, Switches, Wireless Routers, Scanners, Storage. - Protect Audio/Video Equipment HDTVs, DVRs, Video Game Consoles, DVD and Blu-ray Players, Stereos, Surround Sound Systems, Sound Bar Speakers, Streaming Media Players, Home Theater PCs, Cable/Satellite Receivers. Reliable Battery Backup - Single-Computer Runtime: This UPS system will support an energy-efficient desktop computer and LCD monitor (75 W load) for up to 90 minutes during an outage. - Half-Load Runtime: This UPS system will support a 50% load (450 W) for up to 10 minutes. - Optimized Outlet Array: 5 outlets have both battery backup and surge/noise protection, and 5 have surge/noise protection without battery backup. The 'surge-only' outlets allow you to connect additional equipment without overloading the UPS or reducing the backup runtime available during an outage. Select outlets have extra-wide spacing to accommodate bulky AC adapters without blocking adjacent outlets. AVR and Surge/Noise Protection In locations with chronic voltage problems, frequent switching to battery drains reserve power and shortens battery life. This UPS system has a feature called automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that solves the problem. The UPS detects when input voltage is out of bounds and corrects it without using the battery. All Tripp Lite UPS systems also include built-in surge protection and noise filtering to shield your equipment from destructive transient voltages and electromagnetic (EMI/RFI) line noise. Data Line Surge Protection Data lines connected to your equipment represent an unlocked 'back door',allowing surges to enter and damage or destroy sensitive electronic components. In addition to protecting against surges on the AC power line, this UPS system protects your equipment against surges on connected phone, network and coaxial lines - The RJ45 jacks protect a phone, analog modem, DSL modem or Ethernet network line. - The coaxial connectors protect a cable TV, satellite or cable modem line. Multifunction LCD Screen Flexible Management Options There are three ways to manage this UPS system 1. Use the multifunction LCD screen. 2. Use the HID-compliant USB port and your computer's built-in power management features. 3. Use the USB port with Tripp Lite's free PowerAlert software. ROHS Design - High Efficiency: This UPS system saves energy, produces less heat, shrinks your carbon footprint and reduces annual operating costs. - User-Replaceable Battery: This UPS system has a user-replaceable, recyclable battery, allowing it to remain in service instead of going to a landfill. - RoHS Compliance: This UPS system complies with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive, limiting the use of hazardous substances in manufacturing.

Review: 4 years and no issues (except normal battery replacement) - I bought this in July, 2022 and it has worked flawlessly over the years and the LCD display is quite lovely and the display can cycle between many different displays: - Output Voltage - Input/Output Frequency - Output Load Percent - Output Load Wattage - Input Voltage - Battery Voltage Regardless of which display you use, there are always two bars that shows Battery charge level and Load Level (how many watts the unit is outputing to all attached (plugged in) devices. Note: Don't plug in a laser printer to the right side (battery back up). It can't handle it (nor can any battery backup); wattage is just too high on laser printers. It will shut down as a protection when you print. There's even a warning somewhere about this in manual but I learned this on day 1. However, you can plug it into the Surge mode (no battery backup/left side). There are 5 plugs on left side (Surge protection only) and 5 plugs on right side (battery backup + surge protection). As with any battery backup system, the batteries have to be replaced every 3-5 years. I realized this recently. I've had a few short power outages this month and each time the unit was powered down after electricity was restored. My modem is connected to it and I had to hold the power button down for 1 second to kick it back on. Normally it's suppose to switch to battery and back to AC automatically and instantly (which it has done correctly for years). All UPS uses sealed lead batteries which is same technology like a car battery (UPS batteries can be compared to small motorcycle batteries). You might already have experience that car batteries eventually give out in 3-5 years and need replaced; so do these! These are extremely simple to replace. These use two 12v batteries. The originals are "glued together" to look like one single large battery. I ordered these replacements: https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B001NJ3H0C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title which are a perfect match and only $45. Nice! These are two seperate batteries but will fit back into the unit. Just not "glued together" like the 2022 batteries I took out of it. That's ok. Good batteries should display 24v (there is a menu to show battery voltage on LCD screen). If it shows 20v or less, they're bad and it's time to replace them. There is a test button, you hold for 1 second, that does a self-diagnostic and show different things on the screen. If the test button doesn't do anything (except for a single beep), or you get a F4 error display or you have to hold power button (for 1 second) to turn it back on after a power failure, then it's time to replace the batteries. In my case the batteries lasted for four years, but your time might vary. I recommend to just swap them out every 3 years to be on the safe side. One of the reasons I bought this product is that it has AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) and outputs AC as Sine Wave. Sine Wav is "clean" electricity which is safe for sensitive electronics (modem, router, smart TV's, etc). I have an old school generator which produces dirty electricity (which is ok for lights, power tools, ac/fridge, etc). If I ever have an extended outage, I can plug this device into my generator and then plug my sensitive electronics in the back of this device. It's basically a "line conditioner" (those are $99+ on it's own) as well as a battery backup. 2 for 1 bonus, wink wink. There is a fan in the back of the unit. I think it only turns on during power outage and it's using the battery. My fan still works. I've had fans on computer cards that didn't last 4 years. So I'm pleased the fan still works. I definitely recommend this product!
Review: Huge 2 battery Unit I love it so much I bought it again! - Huge. I will update in a few months. I received today and wanted to share my experience and provide tips. First, I did not notice ANY odor upon opening the box. Second, It is huge in comparison to APC units I have bought in the past. I was an APC fan until the unit internal systems broke down and would not work with new batteries. I Wanted to try different and narrowed this down to Tripp-Lite and Cyber-Power 1500. Tripp-Lite is 900 watts. I am running: -Intel I-7 core processor -power supply is dynamic 850 WATTS -32 GBs Ram -Windows 10 -DELL 24 inch LED monitor -Yamaha Quad speaker with subwoofer Output is at 10% Out Watts 90, which is minimal Estimate backup is roughly 56-60 minutes, which is plenty, given I have a Kohler 20RES 20,000 K (with 200 watt entire house transformer) Generator. I live in Ohio in the country and my local company just randomly tested power and disconnected several homes without warning. I was on the computer when everything when dark. Not good. Then recently, our transform caught on fire. again without warning, and yes, I was computer. I am lucky my computer works at all, hence, reason for generator and buying this unit. Tips: -I recommend before installing, to look at batteries. just unscrew bottom and gingerly pull the front cover off but not too far because wires are connected. You will noticed TWO batteries are required. The support page for Tripp Lite will suggest (as well as in the manual), RBC 51 (two batteries). I suggest you search for RBC 5 battery set. Much cheaper (less than a single RBC 51). Also, I recommend you attempt to pull out batteries to experience the difficulty to replace these batteries. Not bad, but a little tricky. -the surge/battery protect outlets are on the right side (if you are facing the back side of unit), the non-battery outlets with surge protection only are on left side of unit. -Inside the box, the Smart 1500 comes with power (3 prong ground non-brick) cord, a 6 foot USB communication Port cord which needs to be longer (like 8-10 foot). Also, I attempted to use the existing USB port cord from my old APC unit and the computer did not recognize the Trip-Lite unit. This could have been fluke but when I used the 6 foot USB Port cord, it worked and showed in tool bar right side icon, charging. Keep in mind it also would show red x as though battery was not recognized. There is no software and no warranty card in English (it was Española). -when you test the unit, it will drop to 86% battery after testing. Just hold the test button for two seconds. Use mute button to cycle screen like output voltage, output load percent, Etc. when you unit test itself, it automatically will show estimated runtime. It will take about 8 hours to fully restore battery after plugged in so no worries. -Instead of installing software, use Windows, Linux, Mac power manager. Go to Control Panel or equivalent, go to hardware, go to power options go to ;change plan;. Look close and find: Change Advance Power Settings.; Now, scroll all the way to bottom until you see battery;. Click on the plus sign and make sure you set critical battery warning or equivalent if using other operating systems, to &shut down. The battery will charge in about 8-10 hours after you plug in. I will update when the next outage occurs and I will update in terms of when the batteries need replaced (supposedly not for 3 years). I hope this helps for now. Update: 6/19/20. I bought the Tripp lite UPS almost 5 years ago. I replaced the batteries once after about 3 years. The unit recently died. I was downloading Windows V2004 when everything shut off. I freaked out. The unit showed it had full battery charge but the unit would not turn on. So I unplugged everything and plug the PC and Accessories into a surge. Windows, thank God, kept downloading the huge update. I am grateful it did not shut off during install. OMG. I called Tripp*Lite and talked to a human being, which is nice. He was very helpful. He said the unit died and replacement of batteries would not help. So I purchased another 1500 LCDT. This unit works great during power outage. I mean i have had others that did not switch over fast enough. This unit has worked like a charm for 5 years. I have had several power outages and it just works. I know this is expensive but worth it. When I called the company I talked to a human being who was quite helpful. I love Tripp-Lite!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this sport the " Isolated Filter Banks eliminate interference between connected components" like their other surge prot's?**
A: Johny, "isolated filter banks" are exclusive to Tripp Lite's ISOBAR series premium surge protectors and are not available on UPS systems. However, this UPS does offer EMI/RFI line noise filtering. If you need more assistance picking the right solution, please call our Tech Support team at (773)869-1234. Helena from Tripp Lite

**Q: What does "NON RETURNABLE" mean?  So if it's DOA, I'm stuck?  What are the warranty terms?**
A: I know this is an old question. I read today, 5/2023, that sold by Amazon, shipped Amazon is returnable. Other sellers may not allow returns, or Amazon may not have allowed returns in the past. It's right on the product page, seller, shipper, and return policy. Find that and you'll find your answer. Just read the return policy. If you can't read, find someone to read it to you.

**Q: can you use this UPS without using the software**
A: I am using the UPS without the software.

**Q: Will this work for DirecTV receiver?**
A: I have used them on my Directv DVR's for over 6 years. Only once did I have a problem.  The battery died and caused the box to not function.  The unit was over 5 years old and past the batteries life span.  However ask Directv, and they will tell you a different story.  A DVR or any other Directv box is a computer pure and simple.  And so long as the UPS is working correctly you should have no problems.  I have asked several tech's I know, and they agree, Better to use a UPS on ANY sensitive electronics than not. And Directv boxes are NO exception.  FYI my background is building computers and repairing them on occasion.  I have been doing this for over 20 years. So I base all this on personal experience, as well as info gathered from others who buil and repair ALL electronics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny.
*by T***S on July 25, 2016*

I've had a pair of these for closing in on 3 years. One of them recently failed to keep my connected devices online through a brown-out, so I contacted support. Much to my surprise, they have a 3 year warranty. Yes I know it's in the description, but I just expected it to be 1, maybe 2 years when I called, because that's usually what you should expect out of these batteries. The technician had me run a few tests; all of which appeared to pass, but since it didn't want to kick off the self test (might have been user error), and the fan would never stop running, and it failed to survive a brown-out... He wasted no time in sending a replacement anyway. I have an APC 1500 supporting my network gear, and has been kicking for over 4 years without issue. And these Tripp Lite's have served me equally well I'd say. I greatly appreciate the smooth consistent voltage it puts out, the informative display gives the nerd in me all the important stats I need. And the close to true Sine output it gives has pleased the most sensitive of electronics I've connected to it. This unit saved a high end gaming system from a massive surge due to a hot/neutral short on the service wire to my house that even fried my whole house surge protector in the circuit panel. Which is probably what killed the unit getting replaced, but my high-end computer worth far more than the UPC is alive because of it. As you can see, I take protection of my electronics very seriously. Here's my point. APC units are AMAZING! And you pay dearly for them. If you're trying to find an alternative that's a few bucks cheaper, but you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot for reliability and quality.. You can rest assured that the Tripp LIte line will serve you equally well and save you a few Washington's. When it comes to protecting 100s of $$ of computer equipment, or you cannot suffer the briefest of outages; you do NOT want to get a cheap unit that will fail when you most need it (coughBelkinCough). But at the same time, you of course don't want to wastefully blow your hard earned cash on simply a name brand and cross your fingers it will be there when you need it. You need something proven, dependable, and worth it's price tag. You will NOT have buyers remorse if you go with Tripp Lite, and the day it saves your electronics (not if, but WHEN); you'll be a believer as well. I now have 4 UPC units (a mix of APC and Tripp Lite, all 1500VA units) protecting my hi tech home and I do not regret a single purchase. These are quality products, and the company stands behind them. Be aware, that 1500 might look like infinite amounts of energy, as it is the highest single consumer VA rated unit... It will give a powerful computer and monitor about 15-30 minutes of life before shutting them down (if properly setup to do so, SMART units only). If you're home when it happened and that low battery beep is going off, you've got time to save your work and gracefully shutdown your system. I run a pair of UPC units behind my most critical system. Don't expect to finish that Breaking-Bad marathon in a black-out with one or even two of these.
