Symmetra Features & Benefits

Availability

Hot-swappable batteries

• Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment while batteries are being replaced

Power Modules connected in parallel

• Enhances availability by allowing immediate, seamless recovery from isolated module failures.

Battery modules connected in parallel

• Delivers higher availability through redundant batteries.

Automatic internal bypass

• Supplies utility power to the connected loads in the event of a UPS power overload or fault.

Configurable for N+1 internal redundancy

• Provides high availability through redundancy by allowing configuration with one more Power Module than is necessary to support the connected load.

Redundant Intelligence Modules

• Provides higher availability to the UPS connected loads by giving redundant communication paths to critical UPS functions.

Hot-swappable intelligence modules

• Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment during Intelligence Module replacement.

Hot-swappable power modules

• Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment during Power Module replacement.

Modular design

• Provides fast serviceability and reduced maintenance requirements via self-diagnosing, field-replaceable modules.

Automatic restart of loads after UPS shutdown

• Automatically starts up the connected equipment upon the return of utility power.

Scalability

Scalable runtime

• Allows additional run time to be quickly added as needed.

Programmable frequency

• Ensures compatibility with different input frequencies.

Scalable power capacity

• Reduces UPS over-sizing costs today by allowing quick power upgrades, within the same footprint, later.

Plug-and-Play external batteries

• Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to the loads when adding extra runtime to the UPS.

Field-replaceable power distribution panel

• Ensures compatibility with equipment that has different plug types.

User-replaceable power modules

• Enables simple upgrades and replacements of the Power Modules.

Automatic self-test

• Periodic battery self-test ensures early detection of a battery that needs to be replaced.

Audible alarms

• Actively let you know if the unit is on battery, if the battery is low or if there is an overload condition.

Predictive failure notification

• Provides early-warning fault analysis ensuring proactive component replacement.

Protection

Input power factor correction

• Minimizes installation costs by enabling the use of smaller generators and cabling.

Frequency and voltage regulation

• Gives higher application availability by correcting poor frequency and voltage conditions without using the battery.

Power conditioning

• Protects connected loads from surges, spikes, lightning, and other power disturbances.

Generator compatible

• Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to the loads in the event of an extended power outage

Cold-start capable

• Provides temporary battery power when the utility power is out.

Resettable circuit breakers

• Enables a quick recovery from overload events.

Safety-agency approved

• Ensures the product has been tested and approved to work safely with the connected service provider equipment and within the specified environment.

Marketing Features

Avoids costly power problems by keeping your IT equipment and data protected and available.

Network grade power conditioning protects from damaging surges and disruptive noise. The double conversion architecture provides tight voltage regulation, frequency regulation ,and zero transfer time to battery during power events.

Modular, Scalable, Redundant Architecture future proof initial investment, improves equipment availability, and simplifies maintenance.

Symmetra LX’s redundant N+1 architecture enables the unit to withstand a failures of an intelligence module, battery or power module. Modules are easily replaceable in the field. Customers can add additional power modules or batteries after initial equipment purchase to accommodate loads of up to 16 kVA.

Low operating and maintenance costs with proven reliability and intelligent battery management.

Intelligent battery management, pioneered by APC, maximizes battery performance and life through intelligent, precision temperature compensated charging. Automatic self tests insure battery reliability and warn customers in advance of battery replacement. Convenient, easy to connect, hot-swappable battery modules provide battery replacement without powering down.

Save time with easy and convenient remote accessibility.

Network manageable via serial, USB or optional Ethernet. Includes Powerchute® Network Shutdown Software for convenient monitoring and control, safe operating system shutdown, and innovative energy management capabilities.

Peace of mind that comes with complete equipment compatibility and reliability of a market leader.

Safety agency tested and approved means that you can deploy Symmetra with confidence that they meet or exceed the industry’s most rigorous standards.
