Introduction
Tripp Lite’s SMART1524ET and SMART1548ET line-interactive UPS Systems oer
a wide operating temperature range and provide constant and reliable backup
power to critical equipment in harsh environments, including outdoor equipment.
The UPS systems distribute utility power to connected equipment when input
power is available and is within valid UPS voltage limits. Automatic Voltage
Regulation (AVR) is available to stabilize output voltage to protected equipment.
The UPS will switch to battery backup power during utility power outages and
extreme voltage uctuations to keep connected equipment running without
interruption.
The maximum output capacity of the UPS system is temperature-dependent:
1600W: -40°F to 131°F (-40°C to 55°C)
1200W: 131°F to 167°F (55°C to 75°C)
1000W: 167°F to 176°F (75°C to 80°C).

is reduced to 147V or lower. In this sample conguration, the HIGH BACK
voltage value will automatically be set to 147V.
• If (#62) BUCK HIGH is set to 128V and the UPS switches to AVR Buck mode
due to input voltage being greater than 128V, a setting of 5V in the HIGH
GAP eld would result in the UPS switching to Normal AVR mode when input
voltage is reduced to 123V or lower. In this sample conguration, the BUCK
BACK voltage value will be automatically set to 123V.
