APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA / 900W Line-Interactive Battery Backup 120V (Boost & Trim AVR, 10 NEMA 5-15R Outlets, Multifunction LCD Display, Gigabit Network Surge Protection, Energy Star, Tower Black)

Product Overview

The BX1500M-LM60 is an enterprise-tier line-interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) manufactured by APC by Schneider Electric under the flagship Back-UPS Pro series. Purpose-built for critical video surveillance recording stations, multi-bay enterprise NVRs/DVRs, high-capacity PoE network switches, security operations center (SOC) monitoring workstations, network-attached storage (NAS) arrays, and mission-critical telecommunication hardware, this high-capacity unit delivers clean, continuous battery power alongside active voltage conditioning during utility outages, severe voltage sags, brownouts, and destructive electrical transients.

Operating on standard 120V AC (60 Hz) electrical environments with an input regulation window of 88V to 139V AC, the BX1500M-LM60 provides a continuous output capacity of 1500VA / 900 Watts. Equipped with Boost and Trim Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), it dynamically corrects low and high utility grid fluctuations without cycling the internal battery, preserving runtime for emergencies and extending overall cell life. The rear interface features 10 NEMA 5-15R receptacles, divided into 5 battery backup plus surge-protected outlets for mission-critical hardware and 5 surge-only bypass outlets for peripheral equipment. It integrates a front-panel multifunction LCD status screen, Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) data line surge protection, USB communication with PowerChute software, and an Energy Star-certified high-efficiency green operating mode.

Key System Features & Functionality

• Line-Interactive Topology with Boost & Trim AVR: Regulates high and low voltage conditions automatically, keeping equipment running safely on mains power without draining internal batteries.

• 1500VA / 900W High-Capacity Output: Powers enterprise NVRs with multiple hard drives, PoE switches, and high-resolution surveillance monitors simultaneously.

• 10 Total Grounded NEMA 5-15R Outlets: 5 battery backup + surge protection outlets for primary recording hardware and 5 surge-only bypass outlets for non-critical accessories.

• Multifunction Front-Panel LCD Display: Provides real-time visual metrics including battery charge level, estimated runtime, load wattage percentage, input/output voltage, and AVR status.

• Gigabit Network Data Line Surge Protection: Shielded 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 passthrough ports prevent secondary surges from entering recorders via network lines.

• Transformer-Spaced Receptacle Layout: Thoughtfully arranged socket pitch accommodates wide DC power adapter blocks without blocking adjacent ports.

• Cold-Start Functionality: Enables operators to manually boot up connected equipment directly from the UPS battery during a total absence of utility power.

• USB Management & Graceful System Shutdown: USB communication port interfaces with APC PowerChute software for automated file saving, event logging, and unattended shutdown.
