Smart-UPS On-Line
Smart-UPS On-Line

Double conversion on-line power protection for servers and networks.

The Smart-UPS On-Line products are based on field proven, industry leading Smart-UPS functionality but offer a double conversion on-line topology that delivers tight voltage and frequency regulation, zero transfer time to and from battery, and input power factor correction. While offering advanced performance and high availability features (see Features & Benefits), the Smart-UPS On-Line can be managed using APC’s PowerChute® plus software as well as an array of SmartSlot accessories. Smart-UPS On-Line UPS's provide battery back up to the load through the use of internal batteries. An unlimited number of external battery packs (part # SUOL48XLBP) can be added to scale the runtime to desired levels. All UPS's and battery packs ship as a tower, but can easily be converted to a 19" rack-mount configuration with the addition of a Rail Kit (Part # SUOLRK). Smart-UPS On-Line is a high performance UPS for servers, networking equipment, telecommunication systems, industrial and medical equipment, and other mission-critical applications.

Features & Benefits
Availability
Double Conversion On-Line Zero transfer time to and from batteries with continuous regulation of voltage and frequency without using battery.
Wide input voltage range A 160-280V input voltage range at full load means less time on battery, preserving them for blackout periods. Input voltage to the UPS can be as low as 100 Volts at lighter loads and still provide utility power to the load.
Extendable Run Time An unlimited number of matching battery packs can be added to increase the runtime to desired amounts
Built-in automatic bypass Ensures seamless power to the loads even in the event of an electronics failure or an overload condition
User replaceable batteries 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.
Cold-start Enables the start-up of your UPS without the utility power.
CellGuard Improved reliability results from a precision battery charging system, and automatic true-load battery tests.
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.
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. (Accessories sold separately)
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.
Manageability
Audible 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.
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.
Auto Diagnostic Testing 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.
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.
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)
Software PowerChute plus power management software included. This software meets the demands of high performance networks and enhances the reliability and manageability of network and web servers.
Web Management This Web-empowered technology enables administrators to complete a variety of tasks via APC’s Web site, including troubleshooting potential problems and proactively updating their UPSs power management features with-in PowerChute. It gives the user a link back to APC to aid in diagnosing/ordering/replacing a bad battery, provides upgrade information, and assists the user with warranty registration. (These features are not available on the SU420NET/620NET models).
Out-of-Band Management The Out-of-band Management Card works with external modem to provide out-of-band UPS management for Smart-UPS DP, allowing the customer to reboot a distant locked-up device through out-of-band modem link. The customer can also determine UPS status, diagnose power problems and configure UPS settings even when LAN communications are not available. The Out-of-band Management Card can even page the customer in event of a power event.
Terminal Mode Programmability Terminal mode is a menu-driven interface that allows for quick and easy configuration of the UPS. This interface can be accessed using a computer and a common serial communication application, such as Hyperterminal. Terminal mode is ideal for customers who are not using PowerChute plus or a management card.
Adaptability
Rack/Tower Convertible The UPS has a flexible form factor enabling it to be installed into a variety of user environments
Downloadable Firmware Makes the UPS field-upgradeable.
Programmable Frequency This UPS automatically provides 50 or 60 Hz, and can be user-set to either value, including desired tolerances.
Multiple Output Voltages The 230V nominal output voltage can be programmed for 220V or 240V operation.
Protection
Network-grade line conditioning Full time EMI/RFI filters prevent line noise from causing data errors
Sine-wave output Sine-wave output provides assurance of compatibility with all loads. (Does not apply to SU420NET/SU620NET models)
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.
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.
Economy
Input Power Factor Correction This product has a power factor corrected input side ensuring that the input power factor is always 1 regardless of load and mains voltage. A power factor of 1 minimizes installation costs by allowing the use of smaller cables and smaller fuses.
