Tripp Lite S3M160KX User Manual

SmartOnline S3MX Series 3-Phase 380/400/415V
160kVA 144kW On-Line Double-Conversion UPS

MODEL NUMBER: S3M160KX

Highly efficient 94% on-line UPS with compact design protects mission-critical equipment against
downtime due to power disturbances.

Features

Battery Backup and VFI Operation Protect Critical LoadsThe SmartOnline® S3M160KX IGBT UPS

supports the continuous availability of your most important loads through all power conditions, providing a
compact backup power platform that’s easy to manage and inexpensive to operate. Sophisticated voltage
and frequency independent (VFI) operation and advanced IGBT rectifier technology with DSP control
deliver reliable output power quality. Providing up to 160kVA of clean, continuous power, this 3-phase
UPS system is perfect for critical applications in IT, communications, corporate, commercial, retail,
financial, security, transportation, emergency and light industrial environments.
Best-in-Class Footprint for Easy Integration into Your Network ApplicationThis on-line double­conversion UPS system has a very small footprint of just 0.56 square meters. It requires less valuable
space in your data center, and you can install the UPS system in spaces that would previously have
required expensive retrofitting.
Efficient Operation and Design Reduces Cost of OwnershipThis IGBT UPS benefits from highly
efficient transformer-free double-conversion technology that delivers operating cost savings. It achieves
94% efficiency in double-conversion mode and up to 98% in ECO mode, reducing your power and cooling
costs. A low THDi (<3%) improves generator compatibility. A low THDv (2%) and active power factor
correction improve output performance. The hardware and firmware platform design reduces the number
of unique boards, improving mean time to repair (MTTR) and resulting in reduced downtime. Built-in static
and maintenance bypass transfer UPS load to utility power during faults, overloads and maintenance,
which also avoids costly system downtime.
External Batteries Supply Reliable Backup with Expandable Runtime OptionsThe S3M160KX uses
external scalable battery cabinets, such as BP480V65 and BP480V100 (sold separately), to provide up to
three hours of backup support in case of a power failure. Add the optional TEMPC100200 thermostat kit to
enable temperature-compensated charging for optimized battery lifespan. The UPS system automatically
restarts after a lengthy power outage.
Intuitive Color Touchscreen Display Delivers Important Performance Information at a GlanceThe
large (25.4 cm/10 inches) front-panel color interface enables comprehensive local monitoring and control
capability. It displays critical operating conditions and diagnostic data, such as phase load levels, available
runtime, alarm status, battery charge, and voltage and frequency values. Six LEDs indicate bypass, on­line, inverter, battery and alarm/fault modes.
Network Management Card Offers Remote Monitoring and ControlThe optional WEBCARDLX (sold
separately) with the latest version of PowerAlert Device Manager firmware (PADM20) provides enhanced
remote management capabilities, including customizable dashboard graphs to fit user preferences. The
PADM20 upgrade and Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Element Manager (PAEM) software form a powerful tool for
expanding maintenance functions in large installations, including firmware update checks and backup and
restoration of device configurations. Auto Probe allows a UPS with switched loads to automatically reboot
