Reliability
Line-interactive
Innovative line-interactive design uses the DC to AC power inverter "in reverse," like a battery charger, during normal operation providing greater performance and efficiency.
Network-grade line conditioning
Sine-wave output
Sine-wave output provides assurance of compatibility with all loads. (Does not apply to SU420NET/SU620NET models)
Lightning and Surge Protection
When measured via ANSI/IEEE 587 Category ''A" and "B" tests, the suppression performance of the APC Smart-UPS is superior to virtually all separate surge suppressors.
Automatic Self Test
The product automatically performs a self-test every two weeks. This ensures you will be alerted to degraded batteries before they wear out. Through software, or the push of a button, you may perform
self-tests anytime.
Unattended Shutdown
In the event of an extended power outage, an APC Smart-UPS will inter-face with PowerChute plus via the serial port to perform automatic safe shutdown of the attached system. Power failures can occur
at night, on weekends, or while the system administrator is out of the building, which makes automatic safe shutdown critical. Smart-UPS provides extensive unattended safe shutdown of many operating
systems.
Site wiring fault indicator
Alerts you to potential problems, such as missing ground and reversed polarity, two common miswirings which usually require an electrician's visit to diagnose (120VAC models only).
Alarms
Audible alarms alert you to changes in operating environment and battery conditions. Some alarms are software configurable and most can also be suppressed or delayed to eliminate nuisance
alarms.
Availability
AVR Boost
Automatically corrects brownout conditions allowing you to work through brownouts without unnecessary battery drain.
AVR Trim
Automatically corrects overvoltage conditions allowing you to work through overvoltages without unnecessary battery drain.
CellGuard
Improved reliability results from a precision battery charging system, and automatic true-load battery tests. Redundant overcharge protection contributes to longer battery life. SmartBoost and
SmartTrim regulate under- and overvoltages without switching to battery.
Advanced Battery Monitoring
The product automatically performs a self-test every two weeks. This ensures you will be alerted to degraded batteries before they wear out. Through software, or the push of a button, you may perform
self-tests anytime.
Faster Recharge Time
The Smart-UPS battery charging system is microprocessor controlled to precisely charge batteries in less time than legacy UPS systems. This makes your system available more quickly for subsequent
power disturbances.
QuickSwap
The 60 second, user friendly, hot-swappable battery replacement system saves the time and expense of returning the UPS to the factory for battery service, and allows safe and easy replacement of
batteries while your system is up and running. Replacement battery kits ship in a reusable box for convenient return of exhausted batteries to a recycling center or to APC.
Accessories
By adding APC accessory cards into the built-in SmartSlot, you can monitor power conditions and take action. The addition of the accessory cards increases overall system availability by proactively
notifying you of conditions that could affect uptime.
Manageability
Built-in SmartSlot
These products are equipped with a built-in SmartSlot allowing you to implement various UPS Accessory cards to customize and enhance the management of your Smart-UPS. Optional accessories allow you to
remotely reboot individual devices, monitor ambient temperature and humidity and work with Emergency Power-Off (EPO) systems. (SmartSlot option not available on SU420NET/SU620NET models)
Status Indicator LED's
Provides status at a glance instantly assess the status of your power and the APC Smart-UPS without even pushing a button. Bar meters and status indicators are simple to use and easy to understand.
Visible and audible alarms alert you to fault conditions.
Load Meter
The Load Meter prevents you from exceeding UPS capacity. The Volt Meter reports utility line voltage and battery capacity, allowing you to gauge how much time you have before batteries are depleted.
An alarm sounds when batteries are low, allowing you time to save data and shutdown the system. The Load Meter and Volt Meter features are not available on the SU420NET/620NET models.
Alarms
Audible alarms alert you to changes in operating environment and battery conditions. Some alarms are software configurable and most can also be suppressed or delayed to eliminate nuisance
alarms.
Software
PowerChute Business Edition, departmental-level management software, enables IT administrators to provide safe system shutdown and UPS management for servers and workstations.
