Stay always online and prevent data loss
As soon as the power fails, an APC Smart-UPS immediately supplies emergency power to all connected equipment. Because an APC UPS does this automatically, you prevent unwanted failure of, for example, a PC, server or switch. With the free APC PowerChute software, you can even have critical IT hardware shut down automatically and in a controlled manner when the UPS battery is almost empty. This prevents data loss, downtime and physical damage to hardware.
Safety
In addition, a Smart-UPS protects connected devices against peak voltage caused by lightning, among other things. This APC emergency power supply is ideally suited for (small) business use.
Lithium-Ion
The APC SCL500RMI1UC uses Li-Ion batteries, which provides unique advantages:
- Longer lifespan. A Li-Ion battery can last up to 10 years and therefore makes the UPS truly maintenance-free.
- Can handle more than 10x as many charge cycles as a lead acid battery (VRLA).
- Smaller and lighter. Li-Ion batteries are smaller and weigh approximately 65% less than VRLA batteries, which saves space and simplifies installation.
- Better battery performance than VRLA at ambient temperatures above 25° C. With VRLA, this is at the expense of battery life (>5% decrease per degree increase).
- 5-year factory warranty. Standard long warranty on the UPS including the battery.
- Eliminate the costs of interim battery replacement; labor, material, shipping and recycling.
- Lower TCO: The above advantages reduce the total costs over the entire life of the UPS by up to 47% (compared to a UPS with VRLA battery.)
- Faster charging means full protection sooner.
- Perfect for tight spaces, due to the limited depth of the UPS it fits easily in wall racks and small cabinets.
SmartConnect
Out-of-box remote UPS monitoring, free during a 6-month trial period. Using the SmartConnect Ethernet port, you can easily connect the Smart-UPS to your network and monitor it remotely via the secure APC SmartConnect cloud-based web portal*. In addition, the UPS can always be monitored via this port via EcoStruxure IT Expert (SFTWES1-DIGI).
* Extend access to SmartConnect via the following licenses:
1 year Standard Plan: ERWPMON1-1Y-DIGI
3 years Standard Plan: ERWPMON1-3Y-DIGI
1 year Advanced Plan: ERWPLUS1-1Y-DIGI
3 years Advanced Plan: ERWPLUS1-3Y-DIGI
PowerChute
By connecting the UPS to a maximum of one server via a USB cable, it can automatically provide it with a shutdown signal during a prolonged power failure and thus still prevent a hard shutdown. This exact moment can be set via the free APC PowerChute Business Edition software.
Battery life
You can easily read the expected battery life in the runtime graph, which you can find between the product images. This way you can easily see how long the UPS will provide emergency power at a certain load.
Rack/tower/wall convertible
The APC Smart-UPS SCL is rack/tower/wall convertible. This means that both the feet and the front post rack mounting brackets are included. This means that you can mount the UPS both horizontally in a rack(1U), but also vertically, i.e. upright. This UPS is also suitable for wall mounting. The wall mount brackets make it easy to mount the UPS on the wall in, for example, the meter cupboard.
This APC Smart-UPS is designed for IT professionals or network administrators to maintain business uptime and continuity. This 500VA line interactive 1U short depth rackmount UPS with Lithium-ion battery provides pure sine wave power to support critical electronics during power disruptions. It comes with IEC 320 C14 input and 4x IEC 320 C13 outlets. It offers cloud-based remote power monitoring, UPS firmware upgrades, remote diagnostics and proactive email notifications with recommended actions. The UPS can connect to EcoStruxure IT or third-party centralized management platforms. It provides surge protection against lightning strikes, power sags, brownouts and surges. The SCL UPS has a 5-year warranty on the UPS and Lithium-ion battery.
