APC SMC1000IC Smart-UPS C 1000 VA LCD with SmartConnect content_copy

The APC Smart-UPS C, model SMC1000IC, is a Line-Interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in mini-tower format, designed for use in small and medium-sized enterprises as well as IT infrastructures such as servers, network devices, NAS systems, and workstations. The unit provides an output capacity of 1 kVA and an output power of 600 W, with the output delivering a pure sine wave (Sine) required for sensitive electronic devices. The UPS operates in green mode to ensure high operational efficiency and automatically switches to battery operation in case of power failure or voltage fluctuations between 170 V and 300 V at the input. The output voltage is maintained within the range of 220 V to 240 V through automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to stabilize power quality. The output frequency is 50/60 Hz, matching common grid frequencies in Europe and other regions.

Applications

The Smart-UPS C is suitable for business-critical applications where continuous power supply and controlled shutdown of devices are essential. It is particularly suited for network environments, server rooms, POS systems, and VoIP infrastructures, where sudden power outages could lead to data loss or system failures. The UPS also supports integration into central management platforms and enables remote monitoring via cloud-based services.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The device features eight AC outlets with C13 connectors, suitable for connecting IT equipment. The input connector is a C14 connector. The UPS is equipped with a graphic LCD display showing operational status, battery charge levels, and other relevant information. Additionally, LED indicators visually signal the operating mode. Audible signals include alarms for battery operation, warnings for low battery charge, and overload alarms to inform the operator of critical conditions.

Technology Explained Simply

The Line-Interactive topology enables efficient power supply in normal operation, where the UPS functions as a passive voltage regulator. During voltage fluctuations, the internal inverter activates to stabilize the output voltage. Battery power is activated in case of complete power failure, with the built-in sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA) supplying the load for the remaining runtime. The battery can be replaced in hot-swap mode without interrupting UPS operation. Battery recharge time is three hours, and an automatic battery test ensures regular checking of battery functionality. Temperature-voltage compensation optimizes battery performance according to ambient temperature.

Compatibility and Accessories

The Smart-UPS C is equipped with a SmartConnect port enabling cloud-based remote monitoring and remote maintenance. Additionally, it includes a USB port (USB 2.0) and a serial port (RS-232) suitable for integration with management software such as PowerChute. An Ethernet LAN port (RJ-45) enables network control. The UPS is compatible with the replacement battery RBC142, which allows replacement of the internal battery to maintain UPS performance. The use of replacement batteries is intended for maintenance and extending the UPS lifespan.

Mounting and Installation

The unit is designed as a mini-tower and can be placed on a desk or mounted in a rack. Installation is done via the C14 input connector, which connects to the mains voltage. The eight C13 outlets are intended for direct connection of IT devices. The delivery includes a USB cable required for communication with the computer and for using the management software. A software CD and a documentation CD are also included to support setup and configuration.

Operational Advantages

The Smart-UPS C provides reliable power supply with high efficiency in green mode. Automatic voltage regulation ensures stable output voltage even with fluctuating input voltages. Remote monitoring via SmartConnect and integration into management platforms enable proactive maintenance and fault detection. The hot-swap battery and automatic battery test reduce maintenance requirements and increase operational safety. The UPS complies with standards CE, CSA, GOST, UL 1778, and VDE, guaranteeing safety and quality. The operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 40 °C, and the relative humidity during operation is up to 95 %, enabling flexible use in various environments.
