APC by Schneider Electric SMT1500CX413 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC Smart-UPS SMT1500CX413 is a 1500VA/980W Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) designed to provide clean, reliable power and battery backup for critical IT equipment. This unit features an LCD interface for easy status monitoring and has the audible alarm disabled, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like server rooms or offices where constant beeping is undesirable. It's engineered to protect sensitive electronics from power surges, sags, and outages, ensuring continuous operation during short-term power interruptions and providing time to safely shut down equipment during longer events. This model is specifically configured for 120V input and output.

Compatibility

The SMT1500CX413 is compatible with a wide range of IT and surveillance equipment, including servers, network switches, routers, workstations, and surveillance NVRs/DVRs. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into standard 19-inch rack environments or can be used in a tower configuration. Specific compatibility extends to APC's management software, enabling remote monitoring and control when paired with compatible network management cards (sold separately).

Installation Notes

This unit requires a standard NEMA 5-15P input plug and provides NEMA 5-15R outlets for connected devices. For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the ambient operating temperature remains within the specified range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Proper ventilation is crucial; avoid installing in enclosed cabinets without adequate airflow. The unit should be grounded according to local electrical codes.
