5115 1U Rack Mount UPS

Product Snapshot
Power Rating: 500-1500 VA
Input/Output Voltage: 120 & 230 Volts AC
Frequency: 50/60 Hz
(auto-sensing)
Configurations: Multi-mount 19 inch
rack, 23 inch rack,
zero U, & wall mount
The Powerware 5115 Rack Mount UPS is
the ideal high-density power protection
solution ideal for servers, storage systems,
network equipment and other critical
devices. The slim design and wide range of
installation possibilities make the Powerware
5115 Rack Mount the most versatile UPS
available. Occupying only 1U of rack
height, the 5115 conserves valuable rack
space for other critical devices while deliv-
ering powerful performance.
Unlike other UPSs that use simulated
sine wave, the Powerware 5115 Rack
Mount UPS provides pure sine wave
output during battery operation. As a
result, the connected devices continue
to receive high quality electrical input
and operate smoothly even during power
outages. In addition, this unique UPS
corrects incoming voltage fluctuations to
further protect the connected equipment.
The Powerware 5115 Rack Mount UPS
incorporates ABM

technology, which
doubles battery service life, optimizes
recharge time for quick recovery after
power outages, and provides advanced
warning at the end of useful battery life.
When alarm notification indicates that
the end of battery life is near, the
batteries can be easily hot-swapped
without powering down the connected
load. User-friendly design allows batteries
to be exchanged through the front of
the unit.
Simple plug-and-play operation makes
installing the Powerware 5115 RM UPS
fast and easy. The sophisticated commu-
nications are flexible, allowing for local,
network or remote monitoring and
management. This UPS arrives with the
latest version of the Powerware Software
Suite with complete cabling, which provides
power monitoring and unattended
shutdown software. The Powerware 5115
Rack Mount UPS additionally comes
standard with a USB port, RS232 serial
port and X-Slot communication bay to
provide further connectivity. In addition,
the Network Transient Protector isolates
equipment from "back door" power
surges traveling through network and
phone lines.
With the Powerware 5115 Rack Mount
UPS, Invensys Powerware delivers a best-
in-class solution for critical network loads
and the growing need for reliable, ultra-
compact power protection. All models
are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards
and meet or exceed worldwide specifica-
tions for safety, performance and
excellence.
Safeguarding
against power
problems has
never been
easier.
X-Slot Communications Bay
(Optional) X-Slot Cards allow the
UPS to communicate in a variety of
networking environments and with
different types of devices
RS232 Communications Port provides unattended
shutdown and remote UPS monitoring capability when
used with included power management software and
communication cable

The Powerware 5115 RM UPS packs the same technology of the tower model into a compact design for various applications. By limiting the rack height (1U)
of the UPS, the Powerware 5115 RM saves room for other critical equipment such as servers and disk arrays. Adaptable to rack mount, wall mount, side-
mount and bench-top applications, the Powerware 5115 RM is the most versatile UPS available. And all mounting accessories are included with every UPS.

Advanced Battery Management
(ABM) technology doubles battery
service life. The lead-acid batteries
typically used in a UPS are considered
viable as long as they can maintain
backup times of at least half that of new
batteries. The illustration above shows
that batteries that are constantly trickle
charged (as are virtually all other UPSs
on the market today) reach the end of
their useful life in less than half the time
of batteries charged using ABM. This
unique process uses a proprietary three-
stage charging technique that not only
doubles battery service life, but also
optimizes recharge time and provides
up to a 60-day advanced notification of
the end of useful battery life.

Technology

Hot-Swappable Batteries
The batteries are easily accessible via the tool-free front access panel. The Powerware 5115 RM
UPS alows users to hot-swap batteries without powering down the conected load or removing the
unit from the rack. This makes it possible to extend the life of the UPS without returning the unit
for service and ensures connected equipment always stays up and running.
