Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Smart-UPS SMT1000RM1U is a line-interactive rack-mountable UPS engineered for business-critical IT environments. It delivers 1000VA/800W of power capacity with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor power fluctuations without switching to battery, ensuring stable operation for connected equipment. This unit features a 1U short-depth design that fits standard 19-inch server racks, making it ideal for space-constrained server rooms, network closets, and data centers where efficient rack utilization is essential.
Equipped with an LCD display for real-time status monitoring, the UPS supports a wide input voltage range of 120V/220V AC, providing flexibility for deployment in various electrical environments. The four NEMA 5-15R outlets offer battery-backed power for multiple devices, while the 8-foot power cord facilitates convenient installation within rack configurations. Built with a black steel chassis, this model combines robust power protection with a professional appearance suitable for enterprise deployments.
Technical Overview
This line-interactive UPS employs advanced power conditioning with a transfer time of 8 ms, ensuring seamless switchover to battery during outages. It outputs a pure sine wave, which is compatible with sensitive electronic equipment such as servers, networking gear, and storage devices, preventing potential damage from irregular power waveforms. The surge energy rating of 540 J provides robust protection against voltage spikes, safeguarding connected infrastructure from transient electrical events.
The battery system utilizes lead-acid chemistry with 604.8 kJ of energy storage, offering reliable backup power. The user-replaceable battery typically recharges within 5 hours and has a rated life of 5 years under normal operating conditions. Environmental specifications include a maximum operating temperature of 104°F (40°C) and elevation limits up to 10,000 feet, ensuring performance in diverse deployment scenarios. The unit operates at a sound emission level of 46 dB(A) and dissipates 88 BTU/h of thermal energy, contributing to manageable heat output in rack environments.
