When a SmartOnline UPS System operates in on‑line mode, it
continuously converts AC input power to DC (battery) power and
converts DC power to regulated AC output power. Continuous
double conversion produces ideal output, but does not provide
maximum efficiency.
In Economy Mode, the UPS increases efficiency through dynamic
double conversion (also known as on‑line on demand), which
means it suspends or resumes double conversion automatically
as the quality of input power changes. While input power quality
is satisfactory, the UPS system suspends double conversion and
operates with maximum efficiency. If input power quality deviates
from the designated safe operating range, the UPS system
resumes double conversion until input power quality improves.
Using the included PowerAlert software, you can turn Economy
Mode on or off at any time, from any location. You can also
schedule Economy Mode, allowing the UPS system to provide
maximum protection during peak hours and maximum efficiency
during off‑peak hours.
PowerAlert Network Management System can control Economy Mode settings
and remotely switchable outlets for hundreds of SmartOnline UPS Systems
and PDUs over your network from a single workstation.
In Economy Mode, a SmartOnline UPS System suspends and resumes double conversion
dynamically. If input power quality deviates from the safe operating range, the UPS
system automatically resumes double conversion until input power quality improves.

PROTECT CRITICAL SYSTEMS
SmartOnline UPS Systems provide ideal protection for servers,
storage, network equipment and telecom equipment in data
center, colocation, virtualization, VoIP, cloud computing,
computer room, network closet, generator backup and other
applications. True on‑line, double‑conversion operation delivers
precision‑regulated, pure sine wave output power, isolating
equipment from damaging power problems, including blackouts,
brownouts, overvoltages, surges, line noise, harmonic distortion,
electrical impulses and frequency variations. Optional external
battery packs provide unlimited runtime scalability to meet any
battery backup requirement. SmartOnline Hot‑Swappable and
Modular 3‑Phase UPS Systems also include hot‑swappable power
module technology and advanced bypass features that eliminate
critical system downtime and ensure business process continuity,
even during UPS maintenance, repair or replacement.
PROTECT THE PLANET
Tripp Lite was an early supporter of the RoHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive
and leads the industry in RoHS compliance.
RoHS limits the use of six hazardous substances: lead, mercury,
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls
(PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). Tripp Lite
manufactures hundreds of RoHS‑compliant products—including
SmartOnline UPS Systems—which can be identified by the RoHS
logo. Successful recycling initiatives also allow most components
to reenter the supply chain instead of landfills.
CENTRALIZE POWER MANAGEMENT
You can use the included PowerAlert Network Management
System to manage the Economy Mode settings of SmartOnline
UPS Systems manually or define a schedule to turn Economy
Mode on and off automatically. You can also schedule automated
equipment idling through remotely switchable UPS outlet banks
or Tripp Lite Switched PDU outlets. Remotely switchable outlets
that aren’t being used can be locked out to prevent unauthorized
loads that increase the risk of circuit overloads.
