Highest-capacity Tempo UPS for small networks and security systems

The TMP2200IEC is the 2200VA / 1200W model in Uniti Power's Tempo line-interactive range and the largest in the series. It is designed for small network setups, CCTV and access control systems, and multi-device workstations, with six IEC 10A outlets, automatic voltage regulation (AVR), RJ45 surge protection and two internal 12V 9Ah batteries giving an estimated 50 minutes of backup at a 100W load, the longest in the Tempo range.

When a router, a network switch and network storage share one supply, a power cut takes them all down at once. The TMP2200IEC doubles the watt capacity of the TMP1200IEC in the same tower footprint, so more equipment can be backed up from a single unit. Its boost and buck AVR keeps routine sags and surges away from the load without using the battery, and the typical 4-8ms transfer to battery covers short interruptions and gives time for an orderly shutdown.

Where the TMP2200IEC is used

The TMP2200IEC suits sites that need more protected capacity than a single-desk UPS:

• Networking and connectivity: routers, network switches, network storage and other networking equipment.
• Security: CCTV cameras and access control panels.
• Higher-load workstations and retail: desktop PCs with monitors, POS terminals and receipt printers.

Performance and protection

• 1200W output: 2200VA rating with a 0.55 output power factor, from a 230V nominal supply.
• Input tolerance: works across 170-280V AC, with AVR boosting a low voltage or reducing a high one before it reaches the load.
• Battery mode output: 230V stepped sine wave, voltage regulated to +/-10% and frequency to ±1Hz, at 50Hz or 60Hz.
• Efficiency: 95% in line mode, 88% in AVR mode and 60% in battery mode.
• Network line surge protection: RJ45 in and out ports protect a LAN, modem or phone line from spikes travelling over data cables.
• Protection circuits: discharge, overcharge and overload protection, plus a breaker on the back panel.
• Cold start: the UPS can be switched on from its batteries when the mains is unavailable, and it restarts automatically when power returns.

Choosing a Tempo model

Uniti Power's Tempo range covers 850VA to 2200VA. The TMP2200IEC is the choice where load or backup time is beyond the smaller models:

Runtimes are typical values for new, fully charged batteries at 25°C, provided as a guide only. Actual runtime depends on battery age, temperature and the type of load.

Installation

The TMP2200IEC measures 139 x 195 x 364mm (W x H x D), weighs 10.4kg and has a noise level below 45dB. It takes power through an IEC C14 10A inlet and should be plugged into an earthed wall socket that is nearby and easy to reach. Choose a protected location with good airflow at 0 to 40°C, away from dust, damp and direct sunlight.

Charge the UPS for at least 4 hours with no load before first use, and allow at least 8 hours for the full rated backup time. Connect equipment straight to the UPS outlets rather than through a power strip or surge suppressor, and keep laser printers and other motor-driven devices off the UPS, as their in-rush current can cause damage.

Monitoring and communications

The front-panel LCD shows operating mode, voltages, load level and battery charge. Audible alarms sound every 10 seconds in battery mode, every second at low battery, every 0.5 seconds on overload and continuously on a fault. Its HID USB interface works with the power management in Windows, macOS and Linux to shut a connected computer down automatically. There is no expansion slot for a network management card.

Standards, warranty and support

According to the Tempo user manual, the range meets IEC/EN 62040-1, IEC/EN 62040-2 and IEC/EN 62040-3. As a Category C2 UPS, the TMP2200IEC may cause radio interference in a residential environment, where additional measures may be required.

Registered Tempo products in the UK are covered by a 6-year warranty on parts and 1 year on batteries. See warranty information for full terms and register your UPS once installed. Uniti Power technical support can help with setup questions.

Tempo TMP2200IEC questions answered

What is the maximum load for the TMP2200IEC?
1200W. The TMP2200IEC is rated at 2200VA with a 0.55 output power factor, so the 1200W figure is the limit to size against.

How does the TMP2200IEC differ from the TMP1200IEC?
Both use the same tower case with six outlets and RJ45 protection. The TMP2200IEC has twice the watt capacity (1200W against 600W) and larger 12V 9Ah batteries, giving an estimated 50 minutes at 100W compared with 40 minutes.

How quickly does the TMP2200IEC recharge?
About 4 hours to 90% after a complete discharge.

Is the TMP2200IEC suitable where online double conversion is required?
No. The TMP2200IEC is a line-interactive UPS with AVR and a typical 4-8ms transfer time. For an online UPS, see Uniti Power's Echo ECH2000RMi2U or Symphony SPY3000RMi2U.
