Tripp Lite Metered ATS / Auto Transfer Switch provides a redundant power option for single-corded network devices. Dual input cords support separate connection to PRIMARY and SECONDARY power sources. The ATS will normally maintain continuous output to all outlets as derived from the primary input cable. If the primary power source becomes unstable or fails altogether, the ATS will switch over to the secondary power source until the primary input is restored and stable. Super-fast switchover between primary and secondary power sources occurs within milliseconds. ATS functionality is supported by any two compatible AC power sources, regardless of phase angle, to support a variety of advanced redundant power networking applications. Enables fault tolerant hot-swappable UPS protection when used with a single UPS and fully redundant UPS protection when each cord is connected to a separate UPS system. In a two-UPS environment, the primary input cable must be supported by a full time sine wave UPS with zero transfer time. Tripp Lite SmartOnline series is highly recommended for use as the primary UPS in a two-UPS application. ATS configurations utilizing separate mains circuits, backup generators and even separate utility power grid feeds are fully supported. On-board ATS processor constantly evaluates power quality on both input sources to prevent transfer to the secondary source when unavailable or of lower quality than the primary source. Front input LED's display primary or secondary power availability.
Features:
- 120V 15A Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) / Metered PDU (Power Distribution Unit)
- Provides a redundant power option for critical networking equipment with a single input power cord
- 2 digit display reports output power consumption in amps
- 1U horizontal rackmount form factor; 14.5 in. / 36.8 cm depth
- 8 built-in NEMA 5-15R outlets
- Set of two 12 ft. / 3.6m NEMA 5-15P input cables support connection to separate PRIMARY and SECONDARY power sources
- ATS circuits normally maintain output sourced from the primary input cable; As primary input power fails or becomes unstable, the ATS will switch to maintain output sourced from the secondary input cable until power on the primary input is restored and stable
- ATS configurations enable fault-tolerant, hot-swappable UPS protection when used with a single UPS and fully redundant UPS protection when each cord is connected to a separate UPS system (in a two-UPS environment, the primary input cable must be supported by an online UPS with zero transfer time similar to Tripp Lite SmartOnline series)
- Advanced ATS configurations utilizing separate mains circuits, backup generators and even separate out of phase utility power grid feeds are fully supported
- On-board ATS processor constantly evaluates power quality on both inputs to prevent transfer to the secondary source when unavailable or of lower quality than the primary source
- Super-fast switchover between primary and secondary power sources occurs in 2-7 milliseconds
- Built-in card slot supports optional SNMPWEBCARD for permanent upgrade to a switched & monitored PDU system
-
Outlets are factory programmed for sequential turn-on at 250 milliscond intervals when the PDU is first energized to prevent inrush-related equipment interaction on startup
-
Front panel LEDs confirm power availability on both input lines
Typical Applications:
- Ideal means to provide single-corded network gear a redundant power option
