APC SMT1000IC Smart-UPS 1000 VA LCD with SmartConnect content_copy

The APC Smart-UPS SMT1000IC is a line-interactive UPS with an output capacity of 1 kVA and an output power of 700 W. It is designed for use in small businesses and IT environments where reliable power supply for servers, network devices and other sensitive equipment is required. The device delivers a pure sine wave, which is important for the compatible operational safety of sensitive IT systems. The UPS operates within an input voltage range of 151 V to 302 V and maintains a stable output voltage between 220 V and 240 V, with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) compensating for voltage fluctuations in the grid. The response time is 10 ms, ensuring a rapid switch to battery operation in case of power failure. The output voltage has a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 5 %, ensuring clean power supply. The device has a noise level of 41 dB, suitable for quiet operation in office environments.

Applications

The SMT1000IC is suitable for use in offices, server rooms, small data centres and with network devices, where a power interruption could lead to data loss or system failures. The integrated surge absorption protects connected devices from overvoltages caused by lightning strikes or grid disturbances. The UPS is designed for operation at temperatures from 0 to 40 °C and relative humidity from 0 to 95 %, enabling flexible installation in various environments.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The device features eight AC outlets with C13 connectors and a C14 plug at the input, allowing easy connection to existing power supplies. The hot-swap battery enables replacement of the battery cartridge (RBC6) without shutting down the UPS or connected devices, ensuring operational continuity. The battery has a lifespan of up to five years and can be fully charged in three hours. An automatic battery test regularly checks the battery condition, and a cold start allows operation without mains power supply. Temperature-voltage compensation adjusts the output voltage to ambient temperature to ensure optimal performance.

Technology Explained Simply

The line-interactive topology combines the efficiency of an online system with the flexibility of an offline system. Under normal mains voltage, the load is supplied directly from the grid, with the UPS regulating the voltage. In case of power failure, it switches to battery operation within 10 ms. The SmartConnect function enables remote monitoring of the UPS over the internet, allowing the status and condition of the device to be checked from any internet-connected device. This is achieved via the integrated Ethernet LAN connection (RJ-45). Additionally, a USB port (Type-A, USB 2.0) and a serial interface (RS-232) are available to connect the UPS to computers or network management software. The free APC PowerChute software enables controlled shutdown of connected systems when the battery is nearly depleted, preventing data loss.

Compatibility and Accessories

The SMT1000IC is equipped with a SmartSlot, into which optional network management cards such as the AP9640 or AP9641 can be inserted. These extend remote management functions via SNMP and enable monitoring and control of the UPS over the network. The battery cartridge RBC6 is available as a spare part and can be replaced as needed. The UPS is equipped with an LCD display and LED indicators showing operational status and key parameters. The delivery includes an RJ-45 and a USB cable, as well as a quick installation guide.

Mounting and Installation

The device has a mini-tower form factor and is black in colour. Dimensions are 171 mm (width) × 439 mm (depth) × 219 mm (height), allowing integration into standard rack or desk environments. Installation is done via the C14 plug connection at the input, with the eight C13 outlets designated for connected devices. Mounting requires no special tools, and operation is performed via physical buttons and the LCD display.

Operational Advantages

The SMT1000IC offers high operational reliability through the combination of automatic voltage regulation, overvoltage protection and fast response time. Remote monitoring via SmartConnect enables proactive maintenance and reduces downtime. The hot-swap function for the battery cartridge minimises downtime during maintenance. Integrated software support via PowerChute ensures controlled shutdown of IT systems, preventing physical damage and data loss. Certification according to EN/IEC 62040-1 and -2 as well as CE, CSA, UL 1778 and other standards ensures compliance with international safety and quality standards. The manufacturer's warranty is three years for electronics and two years for the battery.
