Middle Atlantic NEXSYS Series 2RU 15 Amp UPS Battery Backup Power System with RackLink and Bank Outlet Control

The Middle Atlantic NEXSYS Series 2RU 15 Amp UPS Battery Backup Power System is purpose-built for AV environments where reliability, uptime, and precise power management aren’t optional—they’re essential. This 2RU, rack-mountable UPS is designed, engineered, and built for AV from the ground up, reflecting Middle Atlantic’s two decades of commitment to delivering power products that perform under demanding rack-mount conditions. The NEXSYS line interactive UPS backups embody this promise by providing robust, dependable power protection with intelligent features that AV professionals rely on to keep critical equipment safe, firmware up-to-date, and connected devices operating smoothly during power disturbances. If your AV rack houses projectors, displays, control processors, AV switchers, amplifiers, or media servers, the NEXSYS UPS delivers the calm in the storm you need to deliver flawless performances every time.

• High-density, rack-ready power protection: A compact 2U footprint delivers a 15 Amp UPS solution ideal for AV racks, ensuring you can protect multiple critical devices without sacrificing valuable rack space. The 15 Amp rating is ample for common AV stacks, meeting the needs of rooms, theaters, conference spaces, and installations where uptime is mission-critical.
• Line Interactive topology with AVR for stabilized power: NEXSYS uses a line interactive design with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without drawing down the battery, delivering clean, stable output to sensitive AV equipment even in environments with inconsistent mains supply.
• RackLink integration for proactive management: RackLink enables remote monitoring, status alerts, and centralized control of you power infrastructure. This capability lets you keep an eye on runtime, load levels, and fault conditions from a single interface, so you can anticipate issues before they impact performances.
• Bank Outlet Control for intelligent outlet management: The built-in bank outlet control feature gives you granular control over individual outlets or outlet banks. You can automate power sequencing, isolate non-essential devices during events, and ensure critical gear remains powered on during routine maintenance or scheduled reboots.
• AV-focused durability and rack-friendly design: Built to endure the rigors of rack environments, the NEXSYS UPS pairs a rugged chassis with front-panel diagnostics and simple rack mounting. Its design emphasizes quiet operation, reliable battery support, and straightforward integration with other Middle Atlantic systems and components used in professional AV deployments.

How to install NEXSYS Series 2RU 15 Amp UPS

• Prepare the rack: Confirm availability of a standard 19" rack space and ensure there is adequate room for ventilation around the unit. Remove any obstructions and verify there is a path for cable runs to connect all devices to the UPS.
• Mount the UPS: Secure the NEXSYS unit into the rack using appropriate mounting rails and hardware. Align the unit with other AV equipment so front-panel indicators and controls remain accessible for quick reference and maintenance.
• Connect the input power: Connect the UPS input to a properly grounded AC power source, observing regional electrical standards and ensuring the circuit can handle the 15 Amp load. Avoid overloading the circuit with other high-draw devices on the same outlet.
• Link devices to bank outlets: Plug critical equipment into the UPS’s bank outlets to be protected during outages. Use the Bank Outlet Control to configure sequencing or selective shutdowns for non-critical devices to maximize available runtime for essential gear.
• Configure RackLink and test: Connect the RackLink interface to your management network or interface as appropriate for your setup. Use the RackLink software or integrated dashboard to register the UPS, configure alert thresholds, run a self-test, and verify that status indicators reflect correct operation. Perform a formal outage-free test to confirm protected devices remain powered during simulated power loss.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What makes the NEXSYS Series a good choice for AV racks? A: It’s specifically designed for AV, combining line interactive UPS protection with RackLink monitoring and Bank Outlet Control. This yields reliable power for projectors, displays, encoders, DACs, scalers, processors, and other critical AV gear while providing centralized control and automated management to minimize downtime.
• Q: What is RackLink and why do I need it? A: RackLink is a management solution that enables remote monitoring and control of power devices within the AV rack. It helps you track runtime, load, and fault conditions, receive alerts, and manage power to devices from a centralized interface—an essential feature for installations where uptime and quick issue resolution matter.
• Q: Can I control which outlets stay powered during an outage? A: Yes. The Bank Outlet Control feature allows you to configure the outlets or outlet banks to automatically power down non-critical devices while keeping essential gear online, optimizing available runtime during an event or outage.
• Q: Is this unit compatible with standard 19" AV racks? A: Absolutely. The 2U form factor is designed for standard 19" racks used in professional AV deployments, ensuring a clean, secure, and space-efficient integration with other equipment.
• Q: How should I configure it for optimum performance? A: Start with a full load assessment of your AV stack, assign critical devices to protected outlets, enable Bank Outlet Control for non-critical devices, and set RackLink alerts for power events. Run a self-test after installation to verify proper operation and ensure firmware and software are up to date.
