The RELAYCARDSV Programmable Relay I/O Card is a versatile add-on that extends the control and automation capabilities of Tripp Lite SVTX, SVX, and SV Series 3-phase UPS systems. This I/O card delivers customizable contact-closure outputs that enable precise signaling to IBM servers, PCs, workstation equipment, and a broad range of auto-controlled devices. By bridging UPS signaling lines with external equipment, you can automate critical operations such as orderly shutdowns, safe power-down sequences, environmental control actions, and remote fault signaling. The RELAYCARDSV is designed for data centers, enterprise server rooms, and edge deployments where reliable, real-time UPS communications are essential to protect workloads and maintain uptime. With a compact form factor and straightforward installation, this programmable I/O card helps administrators implement robust power management strategies without sacrificing space or complexity. Whether you are protecting a single rack or a multi-rack data center, this card delivers dependable performance and flexible integration to support your IT and facility automation goals.

• Programmable relay outputs for flexible control: The RELAYCARDSV provides configurable contact-closure outputs that you can tailor to match your environment. Define trigger conditions such as power failure, battery discharge, or UPS fault, and map each signal to the appropriate remote device or automation controller. This flexibility supports sophisticated shutdown sequences, automatic rack-level control, and integration with building management systems to keep critical workloads safe and responsive. By enabling precise control over power events, the card helps you minimize data loss and maximize uptime across diverse IT assets.
• Designed for SVTX, SVX, and SV Series 3-phase UPS systems: This I/O card is engineered to work specifically with Tripp Lite's SVTX, SVX, and SV Series 3-phase platforms, ensuring reliable communication across your most demanding enterprise deployments. Its compatibility simplifies installation, reduces configuration steps, and minimizes risk by leveraging the UPS's native signaling paths. Whether you're protecting a data center row or a small business cluster, the RELAYCARDSV fits into your existing SV-series environment with ease and confidence.
• Enhances server and device automation: By bridging UPS state information to IBM servers, workstations, and other equipment, the RELAYCARDSV enables intelligent power management. You can initiate controlled shutdowns during outage events, monitor and react to UPS conditions, and coordinate environmental or facility controls (cooling, access, alarms) in concert with power events. In practice, this means shorter recovery times, reduced data loss risk, and clearer incident signaling for operators. The result is a more streamlined, automated data-center operation where IT and facilities teams can respond quickly and predictably to power events.
• Compact, easy to install, and maintenance-friendly: The RELAYCARDSV is designed for minimal footprint and straightforward integration. It slots into compatible UPS enclosures with simple cabling and offers clear, field-serviceable wiring. The card's robust construction withstands typical data-center environments, and its passive design minimizes additional power draw while still delivering reliable operation when you need it most. This makes it an ideal upgrade path for growing IT infrastructure requiring more automated control without overhauling your power architecture or adding complex infrastructure components.
• Reliable signaling for enterprise uptime: Built to support mission-critical workloads, the RELAYCARDSV emphasizes rugged reliability and predictable performance. The programmable relays are designed to endure the rigors of 24/7 operation in data centers and enterprise IT environments. With tested compatibility and a track record of dependable signaling, this card helps sustain uptime, maintain service levels, and improve operational visibility into your UPS-driven power management strategy. It enables IT managers to align power events with business continuity plans and to communicate status changes to monitoring systems with clear, actionable signals.
