The APC Smart-UPS SMT1500RMI2UC is a Line-Interactive UPS in Rackmount format with a rack capacity of 2U, specifically designed for use in server rooms, IT infrastructures, and small businesses. With an output capacity of 1.5 kVA and an output power of 1000 W, the device provides sufficient power supply for multiple IT end devices, servers, or network switches. The waveform is sinusoidal (Sine), which is important for sensitive devices such as servers or network hardware to prevent damage from insufficient power quality. The output voltage is 230 V, matching the standard voltage in Europe, and is maintained during operation between 220 V and 240 V to ensure stable power supply.

Applications

The UPS is suitable for use in IT infrastructures, server rooms, and small businesses, where uninterrupted power supply is critical. It protects connected devices against voltage surges, power outages, and voltage fluctuations. The input operating voltage ranges between 151 V and 302 V, allowing high tolerance to mains voltage fluctuations. The response time is 10 ms, ensuring an almost imperceptible switch to battery operation in case of power failure. The input frequency is designed for 50/60 Hz, enabling worldwide use in various regions.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features four AC outputs with C13 connectors, suitable for connecting computers, monitors, network devices, and other IT end devices. The plug is a C14 connector, which connects to the power socket of the device. The USB and serial interface (RS-232) allow connection to a PC to monitor the UPS via the free APC PowerChute software and initiate a controlled shutdown of connected devices in case of power failure. This prevents data loss and physical damage to hardware. The SmartSlot and SmartConnect connector enable integration into network monitoring systems and remote monitoring via the APC SmartConnect web portal. The automatic restart function ensures that connected devices are automatically restarted after mains voltage is restored.

Technology Explained Simply

The Line-Interactive topology means that the UPS passes the mains power directly in normal operation, but immediately switches to internal battery power in case of voltage fluctuations or power failure. The sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA) provides backup power and has a maximum lifespan of 6 years. The battery recharge time is 3 hours, enabling quick restoration of capacity after discharge. The hot-swap function allows battery replacement without shutting down the UPS or connected devices, increasing availability. An automatic battery test regularly checks the battery condition to detect wear or defects early. The cold-start function enables UPS operation even without mains power, as long as the battery is charged.

Compatibility and Accessories

The UPS comes with a rack mounting kit, enabling installation in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack. The included cables consist of an RS-232 and a USB cable, required for connecting to the control software. The user manual is included in the delivery. For extended network monitoring, optional network management cards such as the AP9640 or AP9641 can be used, enabling remote control via SNMP or EcoStruxure IT Expert.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done using the included rack mounting kit in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) rack. The dimensions are 432 mm (width) × 477 mm (depth) × 86 mm (height), and the device weighs 26.1 kg. Installation requires no special tools, as the rack mounting kit allows fastening to the rails. The LED indicators and LCD display enable visual monitoring of operating status, battery charge level, and any faults.

Operational Advantages

The UPS features low noise emission of 46 dB, making it suitable for use in offices or server rooms. The acoustic alarms warn during battery operation and low battery charge, informing the operator in time. The certification according to EN / IEC 62040-1 and -2 as well as the Energy Star 1.0 (EU) certification guarantee high safety and energy efficiency standards. The operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 40 °C, and the relative humidity during operation can reach up to 95 %, enabling flexible use in various environments. The operating altitude is up to 3000 m, allowing use at higher elevations.

Sustainability

The device carries the ENERGY STAR certification and the Green Premium seal, indicating environmentally friendly manufacturing and low energy consumption. The total carbon dioxide footprint is 1416.6 kg CO2e, reflecting the environmental impact of the product.

Certifications and Standards

The UPS complies with standards EN / IEC 62040-1 and EN / IEC 62040-2, which apply to safety and performance of UPS systems. Additionally, it is certified with CE, EAC, RCM, TÜV, VDE, as well as Energy Star 1.0 (EU), confirming its conformity with European and international standards. The Resource CD included in the delivery contains additional software and documentation materials.

Functions at a Glance

The SmartConnect function enables remote monitoring over the internet, connecting the UPS via the integrated SmartConnect connector to the network. Remote control via the web portal or EcoStruxure IT Expert allows monitoring of status, charge level, and alarms. The PowerChute software enables control of shutdown of connected devices to avoid data loss. The LED indicators and LCD display provide a clear representation of the operating status.
