Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Power problems—including blackouts, brownouts, power surges and line noise—threaten your investment! They can damage or destroy PCs and other expensive equipment, wipe out valuable data and files, and degrade component performance.

It provides reliable battery backup that can keep a basic desktop PC operational for up to 30 minutes during blackouts. The SMART550USB features automatic voltage regulation to correct brownouts, assuring that connected equipment receives safe, regulated 120V nominal output, plus surge suppression and EMI/RFI line noise filtering to prevent hardware damage and performance problems such as poor-quality audio and video output. Free PowerAlert UPS software (available via Web download) enables safe unattended file saves and an orderly system shutdown in the event of a prolonged power failure.

Ideal Protection for Home or Office PCs and Peripherals
With reliable battery backup, tel/DSL jacks and an HID-compliant USB port, the SMART550USB offers a complete power protection solution for a wide range of home and office electronics. The SMART550USB features a split-outlet design with six total AC outlets: three to provide battery backup support and surge protection for computers, monitors and other critical components; three to provide surge protection only for peripherals such as printers and scanners that do not require battery backup.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
AVR protects connected equipment from incremental hardware damage, data loss and performance problems that can be caused by low-voltage conditions, commonly known as brownouts. The SMART550USB corrects brownouts as low as 89V to a nominal 120V, providing safe, computer-grade power to all connected components, without consuming battery power needed to support equipment through blackouts.
Reliable Battery Backup
UPS battery backup support enables you to work through short power failures, and provides time to save files and perform an orderly system shutdown in case of a prolonged blackout. The SMART550USB features an internal battery that provides 4 min. of battery support for a full load (300 watts), 15 min. for a half-load (150 watts) or 30 min. for a basic desktop PC. During normal operation, incoming utility power keeps the UPS battery fully charged so that backup power will always be available when needed.
Tel/DSL Surge Suppression
A sudden power surge or spike on a phone or network line can damage or destroy electronic components and wipe out irreplaceable data. The SMART550USB features one set of tel/DSL (RJ11) jacks that provide surge protection for a standard phone connection (cable included). Its 480-joule surge suppression rating protects connected components and data from the harmful effects of power surges.
EMI/RFI Line Noise Filtering
Various electromagnetic and radio sources can cause disruptive interference on the AC line. This line noise is a common cause of incremental hardware damage, data corruption and audio/video performance problems. The SMART550USB incorporates technology that filters out disruptive line noise, preventing it from affecting your equipment.

USB Port and Free PowerAlert Software
The SMART550USB features an HID-compliant USB port (USB cable included). Used with Tripp Lite's free PowerAlert software (available from Tripp Lite as a Web download), this USB port enables safe unattended system shutdown and file saves in the event of a prolonged power failure. The USB port also enables integration with built-in power management and auto shutdown features of Windows®, Linux® and Mac OS® X.
Versatile Installation Options
The SMART550USB features a compact tower housing that's easy to integrate into a wide range of applications. An optional bracket (Tripp Lite model UPSWM) enables the UPS to be securely wall mounted.

The SMART550USB comes with $200,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage for connected equipment and a 3-year warranty.

How many strikes before you're called out?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tripp Lite SMART550USB Smart 550VA Line-Interactive UPS (6 Outlets) (Electronics)
Generally, the umpire gives the batter 3 strikes and you're out, no? Right u are!
And that's the story with this DumbOffice 550. I've gone through 3 of these clunkers, and every one of them is defective in one way or another. I will say quickly, and without further delay, that Tripp Lite honored the warranty policy on one of these that qualified. Fortunately, that particular unit completely died. The inverter totally failed, or I suspect it was the inverter. But before discovering I had a major failure, I went and spent the money for a new battery, thinking, "Gee, this thing can't have failed, could it???" The new battery did nothing to the good. New battery, old battery, same result. Unplug the unit from the AC service, and even with NO LOAD, the red LED on the front panel, indicting OVERLOAD would come on, along with the buzzer, and after 4, 5 or 7 seconds, it shuts down. Repeat the process as many times as you like, same result. But perhaps the most troubling aspect of this situation was Tripp Lite's complete lack of interest for examining this unit to determine why it failed. I offered to return the failed unit to Tripp Lite, AT MY EXPENSE, and they said they did NOT want it returned. This would have been an easy packing job, since I had the replacement unit's packing materials. The failed unit is the exact same model, meaning, the failed unit will fit in the replacement unit's packing box perfectly. No hassle. Just pay the UPS man and be done with it. Tripp Lite DIDN'T WANT IT.. What are these people thinking? Ok, that's enough on this one. No one likes long reviews. The warranty replacement unit, referenced above, hums and buzzes, and switches over to the battery frequently. And it doesn't matter which way you twist the SENSITIVITY ADJUST control on the back. And like the other one I mention shortly, it runs quite hot, even when not doing anything, just being plugged in but not delivering any load, and nothing connected to it being turned on. Slap the cabinet one way, then another, bang the top, and sometimes one can get the humming to quiet down. But I'm not going to scream too loudly as #2 still works, with the above shortcomings. I have it connected to an eMachines W3644, which is a penny-pincher computer that has only a Sepmron LE-1200 CPU and only one plug-in card, a modem, so it doesn't represent much of a load. With just this eMachines and a small 19" Asus LCD monitor, when I pull the plug for approaching storms, the battery holds up for only 5-7 minutes-- sometimes perhaps a tad more. That's not much of a load, and not much duration time. But it's better than nothing I suppose. And the 3rd one, it's behavior is just like the description above, with the same annoying "switch to battery" occurring often. In fact, they are such a pain I have to just turn them off when going to bed so the buzzer doesn't come on and wake me up, which both have done often. This 3rd unit I use as a backup for the TV, VCR and DVD burner. Very same SmartOffice 550, and as with the others, should be called the DumbOffice 550. Or maybe the BuzzBox 550, er, HumBox 550? Every one of these has a bug-a-boo about it. But I know Tripp Lite can do better because I have yet one more Tripp Lite toy here, a UPS device made back in 2000, which goes by the trade name of "Internet Office 500". That's right, it's now 2010, and this Internet Office 500, long discontinued I suppose, is still rendering outstanding service, TEN YEARS after purchase. I've only had to change the battery. None of the aforementioned headaches discussed above apply to this Internet Office 500. So what has Tripp Lite done between the Internet Office 500 and this SmartOffice 550? Some corner-cutting, cheap and dirty mistakes, and they should be ashamed. Dear Customer, er, potential customer, look for something better, this is a troublesome unit. 3 out of 3 and all troublesome, is unacceptable. One of these was purchased here thru Amazon, the other via [...]. Doesn't seem to matter where you buy it, it's trouble.
