Stay always online and prevent data loss
As soon as the power goes out, an APC Smart-UPS immediately provides 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 battery of the UPS is almost empty. This way you prevent 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.
Battery life
You can easily read the expected battery life in the runtime graph, which you can find between the product images. You can easily see how long the UPS supplies emergency power at a certain load.
SmartConnect
Out-of-box remote UPS monitoring, free for a 6-month trial period. Using the SmartConnect ethernet port, you can easily connect the Smart-UPS to your network and easily 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 through the following licenses:
1 year Standard Plan: ERWPMON1-1Y-DIGI
3 year Standard Plan: ERWPMON1-3Y-DIGI
1 year Advanced Plan: ERWPLUS1-1Y-DIGI
3 year 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 outage and thus prevent a hard shutdown. This exact moment can be set via the free APC PowerChute Serial Edition software.
Network Management Card
If you connect the UPS directly to your network via the optional APC Network Management Card (AP9640/AP9641), it can easily be managed remotely via SNMP or our remote management software Ecostruxure IT Expert (SFTWES1-DIGI). You can also automatically send a shutdown signal via the network to multiple physical and/or virtual servers. By means of the APC PowerChute Network Shutdown Software associated with the network card can even be differentiated in the shutdown moment and the order in which this happens.
Ease of use
By means of physical buttons and an LCD screen make it possible to set and read the basic functionalities.
Extend the lifespan
The internal battery cartridge (RBC7) can be replaced easily, safely and independently by the user. This without having to switch off the APC SMT1500IC or connected equipment. This way you can easily and cheaply extend the lifespan of the APC Smart-UPS and your equipment always remains online.
Warranty extension
The manufacturer's warranty of the SMT1500IC is 3 years, with the exception of the battery cartridge, which has a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. Both are extended by 3 years to 6 and 5 years respectively with the APC service pack (WBEXTWAR3YR-SP-03).
Switched Outlet Groups: Remote reboot and phased start-up
Thanks to the Switched Outlet Groups, it is possible to configure a phased/delayed power-on per UPS outlet group. This reduces the peak load on the UPS and brings it closer to the constant load, which limits oversizing of the UPS.
It is also possible to reset a group of multiple UPS outputs and the equipment connected to them. If SmartConnect Advanced (ERWPLUS1-1Y-DIGI) is used, a UPS with SmartConnect port + Ecostruxure IT Expert (SFTWES1-DIGI) or a network card (ap9640) in combination with Ecostruxure IT Expert (SFTWES1-DIGI), this is even possible at a distance.
