APC Smart-ups SRT 2200VA 120V TAA - GVSOPT004

APC by Schneider Electric GVSOPT004 Galaxy VS Option Kit

Overview

The GVSOPT004 is an option kit designed specifically for compatibility with the APC Galaxy VS UPS platform. If you are expanding or configuring a Galaxy VS installation, this kit provides the supplemental hardware needed to complete the deployment — without sourcing individual components separately. At 13.2 lb and a compact 9.84-inch form factor, it is sized to integrate cleanly into existing Galaxy VS infrastructure without requiring significant rack or floor space adjustments.

Because the GVSOPT004 is purpose-matched to the Galaxy VS range, procurement is straightforward: if your site runs Galaxy VS units, this is the correct option kit for that platform. Mixing option kits across UPS families is a common installation error — verify your existing UPS model before ordering.

Key Features

• Galaxy VS Platform Compatibility: Engineered exclusively for the Galaxy VS range, which eliminates guesswork during procurement and avoids the compatibility mismatches that can occur with generic third-party add-ons.
• Compact 9.84-Inch Form Factor: The 9.84 in (25 cm) profile keeps the installed footprint manageable in dense equipment rooms and data closets where every inch of clearance matters.
• 13.2 lb Shipping Weight: At 6 kg, the kit is manageable for a single installer during commissioning without requiring additional lift equipment.
• Packaged for Safe Transit: Package dimensions of 12.01 × 12.01 × 10.04 in and matching 13.2 lb gross weight indicate protective packaging that matches the kit weight — components arrive without dimensional damage from loose packing.

Integration & Compatibility

The GVSOPT004 is verified for use with the APC Galaxy VS UPS family. It is not cross-compatible with other APC UPS ranges such as the Smart-UPS SRT or Galaxy VX lines. Before ordering, confirm your installed base is Galaxy VS. For full APC by Schneider Electric UPS and power protection options, review the complete catalog. Integrators deploying UPS systems in critical infrastructure environments should verify that option kits are matched to the correct platform generation — consult the Galaxy VS documentation or a pre-sales engineering contact if unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What UPS platform is the GVSOPT004 compatible with?

A: The GVSOPT004 is designed for compatibility with the APC Galaxy VS UPS range. It is not intended for use with other APC UPS families such as the Smart-UPS SRT or Galaxy VX.

Q: What are the physical dimensions and weight of the GVSOPT004?

A: The kit measures 9.84 in (25 cm) in its primary dimension and weighs 13.2 lb (6 kg). Packaged dimensions are 12.01 × 12.01 × 10.04 in at the same 13.2 lb gross weight.

Q: Is the GVSOPT004 TAA compliant?

A: TAA compliance is referenced in the product name as listed by the manufacturer. Verify current TAA status with the manufacturer documentation for procurement purposes.

Q: Can the GVSOPT004 be installed by a single technician?

A: At 13.2 lb (6 kg), the kit is within single-person handling limits under standard occupational guidelines, though always follow your site's safe lifting procedures.

James Everett

The GVSOPT004 is a Galaxy VS platform option kit — the key spec to verify before ordering is the range compatibility field, which explicitly limits this kit to Galaxy VS deployments. I see procurement errors regularly where integrators order option kits against the wrong UPS generation; the GVSOPT004 is not interchangeable with SRT or VX accessories despite surface-level similarity in APC's naming conventions.

Technical Highlights:

• Galaxy VS Exclusivity: Purpose-built for the Galaxy VS range — no adaptation or workaround required for a clean Galaxy VS installation.
• 9.84 in / 13.2 lb Profile: The compact 25 cm dimension and 6 kg weight mean this kit installs in constrained equipment rooms without special rigging or additional clearance planning.
• Packaged Gross Weight Matches Net: 13.2 lb net and gross weights indicate a tight-pack configuration — components are not loose inside an oversized box, which reduces transit damage risk.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your installed Galaxy VS UPS model and firmware revision against APC's compatibility matrix before deploying the GVSOPT004 — option kits can be revision-sensitive on enterprise UPS platforms.
• Available spec data is limited to physical and compatibility attributes; functional specifications (output, runtime impact, port type) should be confirmed against the manufacturer datasheet prior to final procurement.

The GVSOPT004 is the correct procurement choice for facilities teams managing Galaxy VS UPS deployments in data centers or critical infrastructure rooms where platform-matched components are required for warranty and support continuity.
