APC SMX1000I Smart-UPS X 1000 VA LCD content_copy

The APC Smart-UPS X SMX1000I is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with an output capacity of 1 kVA and an output power of 800 W. It is designed for use in server rooms, network enclosures, small data centers, as well as for business VoIP systems and data storage solutions such as NAS (Network Attached Storage). The device provides a pure sine wave output, which is essential for the safe operation of sensitive IT and network equipment. The UPS operates with a nominal input voltage of 230 V and can handle input voltages between 151 V and 302 V, ensuring stable operation even during voltage fluctuations in the grid. The automatic voltage regulation (AVR) ensures a constant output voltage without activating the battery, thereby extending the battery life and increasing efficiency. The efficiency is 98.2 %, ensuring high energy utilization and low operating costs.

Applications

The SMX1000I is designed for use in professional IT environments where continuous power supply is critical. It protects connected devices from voltage spikes, overvoltages, power outages, and other power supply disturbances. The UPS is ideal for use in rack systems (2U) or as a tower unit, with installation made easy and flexible thanks to the included rack mounting bracket and removable support feet. The convertibility between rack and tower operation allows for application-specific installation.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The device features 8 AC outlets of type IEC 320 C13, suitable for powering servers, switches, routers, and other IT equipment. Two IEC jumper cables (Output IEC Jumper) enable flexible use of the outlets. The UPS is equipped with a USB port and an RS-232 serial port to enable local control and monitoring. The integrated LCD user interface displays operational status, remaining runtime, battery charge, and other relevant information. The interface supports multiple languages and allows for easy on-site configuration. An emergency power off (EPO) switch enables immediate shutdown of the UPS in an emergency.

Technology Explained Simply

The line-interactive topology of the SMX1000I means that the UPS is supplied directly from the grid during normal operation, but automatically regulates voltage within the defined range (151–302 V) during voltage fluctuations without drawing on the battery. Only in the event of a complete power failure or voltages outside the regulation range does the UPS switch to battery operation. The battery is a sealed lead-acid battery (VRLA) with a capacity of 299 VAh. The typical backup time is 8.1 minutes at full load and 24.2 minutes at half load. The battery can be fully charged in 3 hours. An automatic battery test regularly checks the battery condition to enable early detection of wear. The UPS supports cold start, allowing it to be turned on even without grid power.

Compatibility and Accessories

The SMX1000I is equipped with a SmartSlot slot, enabling the installation of optional management cards such as the AP9640 or AP9641. These cards allow network-based monitoring and remote control via SNMP or the APC PowerChute Network Shutdown software. Remote management enables controlled shutdown of servers and virtual machines in the event of a power outage. Additionally, external battery modules such as the SMX48RMBP2U can be connected to extend backup time. The maximum number of external battery modules is ten, enabling runtime of several hours. The UPS is equipped with an energy consumption meter that monitors the power usage of connected devices.

Mounting and Installation

The SMX1000I is designed as a rack/tower unit and occupies 2U in a rack. Mounting is done using the included rack mounting bracket. The power cord length is 1.83 m. Installation is carried out according to the instructions in the included installation manual, which is available on the supplied software CD and on the APC website. The UPS is intended for indoor use and must not be operated in direct sunlight, in contact with liquids, or in environments with excessive dust or humidity. Airflow must be ensured to allow sufficient cooling.

Operational Advantages

The SMX1000I offers high operational reliability through the combination of automatic voltage regulation, pure sine wave output, and extendable runtime. Remote management via network management cards enables centralized monitoring and control, which is particularly beneficial in larger IT infrastructures. The switched outlet groups (Switched Outlet Groups) allow for phased powering on of connected devices to reduce inrush current. The integrated LED indicators and audible alarms (low battery warning, overload alarm) support operation with visual and audible feedback. The UPS complies with standards CE, EN/IEC 62040-1, EN/IEC 62040-2, RCM, VDE, RoHS, REACH, PEP, and EOLI. The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C, and the storage temperature range is -15 °C to 45 °C. The relative humidity during operation is 0–95 %, non-condensing. The maximum operating altitude is 3000 m. The manufacturer's warranty is 3 years for electronics and 2 years for the battery.
