The APC Smart-UPS SMT1500IC is a Line-Interactive UPS with an output capacity of 1.5 kVA and an output power of 1000 W, designed for use in small businesses and IT environments. The device provides a sine wave output, suitable for powering sensitive equipment such as servers, network switches, or PCs. The UPS operates within an input voltage range of 151 V to 302 V and delivers a stable output voltage between 220 V and 240 V, with a frequency of 50/60 Hz. The integrated Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) ensures constant voltage even during fluctuations in the power grid, thus preventing damage to connected devices. The temperature-voltage compensation optimizes battery performance according to ambient temperature.

Applications

The SMT1500IC is suitable for use in offices, server rooms, or small IT infrastructures where reliable power supply and protection against voltage spikes, under-voltage, and over-voltage are required. The hot-swap battery allows for battery replacement without shutting down the UPS or connected devices, increasing availability. The cold-start function enables operation even without mains power, as long as the battery is charged.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features 8 AC outlets with C13 connectors and a C14 plug at the input. The output voltage total harmonic distortion (THD) is 5 %, ensuring clean power quality. The battery technology is based on valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA), achieving a maximum lifespan of 5 years. The battery recharge time is 3 hours, enabling rapid restoration of backup power capacity. The automatic battery test function regularly checks the battery condition to prevent unexpected failure.

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; during voltage fluctuations or failure, the UPS automatically switches to battery operation. The SmartConnect function enables remote monitoring over the network, connecting the UPS via an Ethernet LAN port (RJ-45) to the network. The web-based management is performed through the APC SmartConnect web portal, allowing continuous monitoring of the UPS status, battery charge level, and alarms. The USB interface enables connection to a server to initiate a controlled shutdown during power failure using the APC PowerChute software. The serial interface (RS-232) provides an alternative connection option.

Compatibility and Accessories

The SMT1500IC is equipped with a SmartSlot, into which optional network management cards such as the AP9640 or AP9641 can be inserted to enable advanced monitoring functions and SNMP support. The replacement battery RBC7 is compatible with this UPS and can be used to extend its lifespan. The UPS is also comparable to other APC models such as the PR1500ELCD or the 1500 VA Line-Interactive variant, although with different interface configurations.

Mounting and Installation

The device has a mini-tower form factor and is suitable for use on a desk or in a rack. The cable length is 1.83 m, allowing flexible placement. The product color is black, and the device features an LCD display and LED indicators showing the operating status. Installation is performed using the included quick installation guide, and connection to a computer is made via the included USB cable and RS-232 cable.

Operational Advantages

The SMT1500IC offers a noise level of 45 dB, ensuring quiet operation in office environments. The surge protection function protects against voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes or other electrical disturbances. The acoustic alarms alert to battery operation, low battery charge, or overload. The auto-restart function allows connected devices to be automatically restarted when mains power is restored. The certifications include CE, CSA, EAC, EN/IEC 62040-1, EN/IEC 62040-2, RCM, UL 1778, VDE, as well as RoHS compliance, confirming safety and environmental compatibility. The Green Premium sustainability certification highlights the manufacturer’s ecological approach.

Operating Conditions

The UPS can be operated at an operating temperature of 0 to 40 °C and a relative humidity of 0 to 95 %. The storage temperature ranges from -15 to 45 °C, and the storage humidity is also 0 to 95 %. The maximum operating altitude is 3000 m, and the storage altitude is 15000 m. The weight is 24.1 kg, and the dimensions are 171 mm (width) × 439 mm (depth) × 219 mm (height). The delivery includes the USB cable, the RS-232 cable, the quick installation guide, the software CD, and the resources CD.
