APC Smart-UPS Ultra 5000VA, 208V, LCD, Tower w/okit, 8x 5-20R & 4x L6-20R & 2x L6-30R & 1x L14-30R NEMA outlets, w/transfo 208/240V to 120V

The APC Smart-UPS Ultra 5000VA bundle is engineered to deliver mission-critical power protection for servers, networking gear, storage devices, and other sensitive equipment. With a 5kVA/4.9kW double-conversion online UPS paired with a robust 5kW step-down transformer, this solution provides clean, uninterrupted power to 120V downstream loads from a 208/240V input. Its compact 2U rack/tower form factor and a versatile outlet mix of NEMA and L-series outlets make it ideal for mixed IT environments, data centers, and small to medium-sized enterprises. The integrated LCD display puts essential metrics at your fingertips, helping you manage load, voltage, battery status, and runtime with confidence. Whether deployed in a rack cabinet or as a freestanding tower, the Smart-UPS Ultra ensures that critical applications stay online, even in the face of brownouts, surges, or complete outages.

• Premium online power protection: Double-conversion online technology delivers a continuous, clean, pure sine wave output to keep servers, storage, and networking gear safe from outages, voltage sags, spikes, and harmonic distortion.
• Integrated 208/240V to 120V step-down transformer (SRTL): Seamlessly powers 120V equipment from higher-voltage utility inputs without additional power conversion hardware, simplifying wiring and reducing equipment clutter.
• Flexible form factor and deployment: 2U rack/tower convertible chassis enables rapid reconfiguration as your space or needs evolve, making it perfect for dense server rooms or on the floor in smaller offices.
• Extensive outlet configuration: 8x 5-20R, 4x L6-20R, 2x L6-30R, and 1x L14-30R NEMA outlets provide broad compatibility for diverse devices, from rack-mounted servers to high-draw networking gear and power-hungry peripherals.
• Intuitive monitoring and management: A front-panel LCD displays real-time information such as load, input/output voltage, battery health, and runtime estimates, while metalanguage-friendly alerts enable proactive maintenance and graceful shutdowns.

How to install APC Smart-UPS Ultra 5000VA

Follow these guidelines to install and begin protecting your critical equipment with the Smart-UPS Ultra 5000VA bundle:

• Choose a secure, well-ventilated location. Whether mounting in a rack or using it as a tower, ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating during peak loads.
• Mount or place the UPS in the desired orientation. If rack-mounted, secure the unit in a compatible 19-inch rack with appropriate rails. If used as a tower, place it on a stable surface with enough space for cooling and cable management.
• Connect the 208/240V input supply to the UPS input using the appropriate circuit breaker and power cord. Verify that the building supply matches the voltage specification of the unit to avoid damage or improper operation.
• Attach the step-down transformer as specified to provide 120V outlets downstream. Route your 120V devices to the L14-30R, L6-30R, L6-20R, and 5-20R outlets as needed, ensuring you do not exceed the total capacity of the UPS.
• Power on the UPS and configure power management software (if included or compatible) to enable automatic safe shutdown, remote monitoring, and alerting. Run a brief self-test to verify battery operation and transfer performance, and confirm LCD readouts reflect the expected load and voltage.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the main benefit of the SRTL Step-Down Transformer?
  A: The SRTL transformer allows you to safely power 120V equipment from a 208V or 240V source, reducing the need for separate step-down equipment and simplifying wiring in mixed-voltage environments.
• Q: How many outlets does the UPS provide and what are their types?
  A: The unit includes a diverse outlet mix: 8x 5-20R, 4x L6-20R, 2x L6-30R, and 1x L14-30R NEMA outlets, enabling support for a wide range of devices with different plug styles and power requirements.
• Q: Is this UPS suitable for rack environments?
  A: Yes. It features a 2U rack-mountable chassis that can also be configured as a tower, making it adaptable for dense rack rooms or floor setups.
• Q: What does the LCD display show?
  A: The front-panel LCD provides real-time insights into load, input and output voltages, battery status, estimated runtime, and system alerts for quick, at-a-glance monitoring.
• Q: Can I manage this UPS remotely?
  A: Yes. It supports integration with APC PowerChute or other compatible monitoring tools for remote shutdown, event logging, and performance reporting.
