What does a convertible 2U/3U form factor mean and when is it useful?

The EX 2200 RT can be configured as a 2U or 3U rackmount unit, offering flexibility to fit into different rack layouts and space constraints while maintaining 1980W output capacity.

Is this UPS suitable for small to medium server deployments?

Yes, the 2200VA/1980W capacity protects multiple small servers, network switches, routers, or mid-sized storage arrays in compact server rooms or branch office deployments.

What does automatic bypass mean and when does it activate?

Automatic bypass instantly switches to mains power if the UPS itself fails, ensuring continuous power to your equipment even during UPS malfunction—a critical safety feature.

How do hot-swappable batteries reduce maintenance downtime?

Hot-swappable batteries allow in-service replacement without shutting down protected systems, enabling preventive battery maintenance without IT service interruption.

What is the benefit of both USB and RS-232 communication ports?

USB provides modern integration with computers and management software, while RS-232 offers compatibility with older monitoring systems, supporting mixed-technology environments.

Is the EX 2200 RT suitable for continuous online protection mode?

Yes, as an online double-conversion UPS, the EX 2200 RT runs continuously in online mode, providing uninterrupted sinusoidal power and maximum protection against power disturbances.

Can the EX 2200 RT be shipped with conversion kits if I want to change its form factor later?

Contact Procure.ae to confirm whether conversion kits are available to change between 2U and 3U configurations after purchase.

What is required to integrate this UPS into an existing rack infrastructure?

Rack space availability (2U or 3U), PDU connection, and network cabling for management are typical requirements; Procure.ae can advise on your specific setup.

What is the expected runtime on battery at typical server room loads?

Runtime depends on load and battery age; contact Procure.ae to calculate expected backup time and discuss external battery module options.

Are the internal batteries user-replaceable or do they require technician service?

Confirm replacement procedure and warranty implications with Procure.ae when you need battery replacement.

What warranty terms apply to the EX 2200 RT and its batteries?

Standard manufacturer warranty covers the UPS and internal batteries; ask Procure.ae for warranty duration and any available extended support.

FAQ

What is the difference between online double-conversion and line-interactive UPS?
Online double-conversion UPS continuously regenerates AC power from DC, providing zero transfer time and complete isolation from mains irregularities. Line-interactive UPS only regulates voltage and switches to battery during outages, resulting in a brief transfer gap.

Can the EX 2200 RT be used as a tower unit?
Yes. The RT2U and RT3U models are convertible rack/tower units and can be installed vertically as a tower or horizontally in a standard rack enclosure.

How many external battery units can be added?
Up to 4 EXB external battery units can be connected to extend backup runtime, and the UPS automatically recognises them for continuous runtime optimisation.
