Smart-UPS deliver performance power management
for advanced networks




QuickSwap the 60 second user friendly, hot swappable battery replacement system

Smart-UPS╞ user replaceable batteries can be quickly and safely swapped out without powering down the connected load. This saves the time and expense of returning the UPS to the factory for battery service. And unlike other UPSs with user replaceable batteries, APC Smart-UPS do not require the use of any tools or disassembling of the unit. Replacement battery kits ship in a reusable box for convenient return of exhausted batteries to a recycling center.

SmartSlot internal accessory option slot lets you customize with APC UPS accessories

A wide variety of optional accessories are available to customize and enhance the performance of your Smart-UPS. Just slide in the accessoryα it╞s that simple.

FastCharge cuts battery recharge time by 75%

An enhanced charger recharges APC Smart-UPS╞ batteries so they are ready to handle the next power event long before other UPSs are fully functional. Compare Smart-UPS recharge time of 1 to 2 hours to the typical recharge times of 8 to 16 hours.

Battery Replacement Warning prevents downtime

Smart-UPS are programmed at the factory to perform a self test every two weeks. This insures that you will be alerted to degraded batteries before they wear out. Through optional PowerChute software or a simple push of a button, you may perform a self-test as often as desired.

Informative LED

Display provides status at a glance You can instantly assess the status of your power and the Smart-UPS without even pushing a button. Bar meters and status indicators are simple to use and easy to understand. Visual and audible alarms alert you to fault conditions. A Site-Wiring Fault Indicator alerts you to potential building wiring problems such as missing ground or reverse polarity.

Lightning and Surge Protection shields your hardware

When measured using ANSI/IEEE 587 Category ⌠A÷ and ⌠B÷ test methods, Smart-UPS surge suppression performance is superior to virtually all separate surge suppressors. Smart-UPS are UL 1449 rated for maximum surge protection.

Sine Wave Output suits the most sensitive loads

Smart-UPS╞ sine wave output provides an assurance of compatibility with all loads.

Network-grade Line Conditioning prevents glitches

Full time EMI/RFI filters prevent line noise from causing data errors, meeting Novell╞s approval for network protection without the need for additional external conditioners.

Full approvals mean a safe, reliable solution

UL, CSA, and TUV approvals mean a reliable solution to power problems.

2 year warranty

Unmatched reliability means you can purchase with confidence.

$25,000 Lifetime Equipment Protection

For as long as you own your Smart- UPS, if your properly connected equipment is ever damaged by an AC surge, including surges due to lightning, APC will repair or replace our product and up to $25,000 of connected equipment (US and Canada only, see policy for details).

SmartBoost and SmartTrim provide true brownout and overvoltage correction

APC Smart-UPS increase your productivity by allowing you to work through problems that shut other UPSs down. SmartBoost automatically steps up low voltage, and SmartTrim automatically steps down high voltage to output that is safe for your computer without unnecessary battery drain.


No wonder the rest of the UPS industry has adopted APC╞s innovative line-interactive design as the new standard in performance and reliability...

The Smart-UPS have an innovative design in which the UPS inverter works ⌠in reverse÷ as battery charger during normal operation, providing greater efficiency, filtering and reliability. Fewer components under stress loads results in greater reliability than inefficient double conversion on-lines.
