APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA 230V
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA 230V (SRV1KI) - 2 Years Local Warranty
Double-Conversion On-Line Protection for Singapore's 230 V / 50 Hz Mains
The APC SRV1KI is a double-conversion on-line UPS: incoming mains is rectified to DC and rebuilt as a clean sine wave output, so the connected load never sees the supply it is actually plugged into. That matters on the Singapore grid, where the day-to-day problem is rarely a full blackout and much more often the voltage sag that arrives with an afternoon thunderstorm, or the disturbance from a large motor load elsewhere in the building. The unit rides those out on its inverter, holding a 160–280 V full-load input window before it needs the battery at all.
1000 VA of Protected Capacity, 800 W of Real Power
Rated at 1000 VA / 800 W, the SRV1KI is sized for a small comms cabinet, a single server or a workgroup of network equipment. Size against the watts figure rather than the VA figure — servers, switches and storage are watts loads — and leave headroom rather than running it hard, which costs you both runtime and battery life. On-line efficiency is 88 % at full load, and output distortion is held to 3 %, which is what an active-PFC server power supply expects to see.
Tower Format with Three C13 Outlets
A tower at 223 mm (H) × 145 mm (W) × 288 mm (D) and 9.3 kg net / 10.6 kg shipping, the SRV1KI suits an SME office, a home office or a floor comms position where there is no rack to mount into. Output is 3 × IEC 60320 C13 (all battery backup and surge protected), and every one of them carries battery backup and surge protection — there is no surge-only bank to accidentally plug a server into. Input connection is IEC 60320 C14 inlet, 1.5 m input cord.
Batteries, Service Life and Singapore's Heat
Internal batteries are maintenance-free sealed VRLA (24 V DC, from 2 × 12 V 9 Ah blocks), recharging in 4 hours, with an expected service life of 3–5 years. Heat is what actually kills UPS batteries, and a poorly ventilated cabinet in Singapore's climate will take years off them — the unit is rated for 0 °C to 40 °C and runs at 50 dBA, so give it airflow. When the time comes the cartridge is APCRBCV203 (VRLA, 9 Ah, 24 V DC) and it is user-replaceable, with battery condition readable from the front-panel LCD.

Compatibility & Runtime
What you can plug in
The SRV1KI provides 3 × IEC 60320 C13 (all battery backup and surge protected). Every outlet is fed from the inverter, so all of them carry battery backup and surge protection — there is no surge-only bank on this model. Rated capacity is 1000 VA / 800 W: size the load against the 800 W figure, because a server, switch or storage array is a watts load, not a VA load.
Input and circuit requirements
Input connection is IEC 60320 C14 inlet, 1.5 m input cord. Singapore mains is 230 V / 50 Hz, which sits comfortably inside this unit's 160–280 V full-load input window, and the on-line inverter regenerates the output waveform continuously rather than switching to battery for every dip — useful during the voltage sags that accompany a thunderstorm on the PUB grid.
Footprint
This is a tower unit at 223 mm (H) × 145 mm (W) × 288 mm (D) and it is not rack-mountable. The rackmount equivalent at the same capacity is a separate part number — see the ordering block below.
Batteries and runtime
The SRV1KI runs on sealed maintenance-free VRLA batteries at 24 V DC, from 2 × 12 V 9 Ah blocks, and recharges in 4 hours. Expected service life is 3–5 years in a temperature-controlled room; Singapore's ambient heat and humidity are the main things that shorten it, so a comms cabinet with airflow is worth the effort.
Schneider's published runtime figure for this model is up to 4 minutes at full load, and approximately 10 minutes at half load. Runtime always depends on the actual connected load — treat that as the manufacturer's headline figure, not a guarantee for your particular equipment.
The matching replacement battery cartridge is APCRBCV203 (VRLA, 9 Ah, 24 V DC). Note this is the APCRBCV series used by Easy UPS On-Line, which is a different range from the APCRBC cartridges used by Smart-UPS — do not substitute across the two.
This model does not accept an external battery pack. If you need longer autonomy at this capacity, the extended-runtime power-module models are the correct product — they are listed in the ordering block below.
Management options
The SRV1KI has a USB port, an RS-232 DB-9 serial port and one Intelligent Card Slot. Schneider's card for that slot is the APV9601 SNMP card. The Easy UPS On-Line SRV range uses a different card family from Smart-UPS: the AP9640 and AP9641 Network Management Card 3 units fit Smart-UPS SmartSlot equipment and will not work in this UPS.
For direct USB or serial shutdown of a single host, Schneider's FAQ FA315835 lists SRV models of 3 kVA and below as supported by PowerChute Serial Shutdown and PowerChute Business Edition. PowerChute itself is a Schneider download rather than a licence sold with the UPS — ask us if you want the current version confirmed for your operating system before you commission.

Datasheet & Downloads
Official Schneider Electric product page for the APC SRV1KI — Singapore regional page. Schneider publishes the product datasheet, user guide and environmental disclosure from the document list on that page.
Schneider serves its APC datasheet PDFs from a redirecting download host that regularly returns the wrong model's document, so we do not publish direct PDF links that we cannot verify resolve to the right part number. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg with the model you need and we will send the correct current-revision datasheet and user manual, along with a GST-invoiced quotation.
Every specification on this page was taken from Schneider Electric's own product page and its published product datasheet or user manual for this exact part number. Where Schneider's own sources disagreed, or published nothing, the field has been left out rather than estimated.
Frequently Asked Questions — APC SRV1KI
What is the difference between the 1000 VA and 800 W ratings, and how do I size it?
VA is apparent power, watts is real power. The SRV1KI is rated 1000 VA / 800 W, an output power factor of 0.8. Add up the watts of everything you intend to protect, keep the total under 800 W, and leave headroom — loading a UPS to 100 % shortens both runtime and battery life. As a rough Singapore rule of thumb, a 1U rack server draws 200–400 W, a 24-port PoE switch 150–400 W depending on how much PoE is actually drawn, and a small NAS 60–120 W. Send us the list and we will size it.
How long will the SRV1KI run my equipment?
Schneider's published figure for this model is up to 4 minutes at full load, and approximately 10 minutes at half load, with healthy batteries.
What matters in practice is that an on-line UPS in this class is sized for a clean shutdown or a generator start, not for riding through a long outage. If you need tens of minutes, the extended-runtime power-module models with external battery packs are the right product. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg with your load in watts and the autonomy you want.
Is the output a true sine wave, and will it work with an active-PFC power supply?
Yes. Schneider's datasheet for this exact model states a sine wave output with 3 % voltage distortion, and the topology is double conversion on-line — the load is fed from the inverter continuously rather than being switched over when mains fails. That is what an active-PFC server or workstation PSU wants; the step-approximated output of a low-cost standby UPS is what causes those supplies to trip. Schneider does not publish a numeric transfer time for this model and we do not claim one.
What do the different Easy UPS On-Line suffixes mean?
They are genuinely different builds, not marketing variants. KI is a tower with internal batteries. KRI is the 2U rackmount build of the same capacity — different outlet count and dimensions, so do not read tower specs onto a rack unit. PM…IL is an extended-runtime power module with no internal batteries, supplied with an external pack. -E is the newer generation with a 0.9 output power factor, so an SRV3KI-E delivers 2700 W where this generation delivers 2400 W at the same 3 kVA. RK means the rail kit is included in the part number.
Which replacement battery cartridge does the SRV1KI take, and can I change it myself?
The cartridge is APCRBCV203 (VRLA, 9 Ah, 24 V DC). It is user-replaceable, and the batteries are the consumable part of any UPS — expect 3–5 years in a well-ventilated room, less in a hot cabinet, which is the usual Singapore constraint. Order by that exact part number: the APCRBCV series belongs to Easy UPS On-Line and is not interchangeable with the APCRBC cartridges used by Smart-UPS, even where the voltage looks similar. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg to order one.
Can the SRV1KI be rack mounted?
No. This is a tower unit at 223 mm (H) × 145 mm (W) × 288 mm (D). Schneider builds the rackmount version as a separate part number — the 2U SRVxKRI family listed in the ordering block above. The two are not convertible, and their outlet counts and dimensions differ, so pick the form factor at the point of order.
How do I monitor it over the network?
Fit the APV9601 SNMP card in the UPS Intelligent Card Slot. That is the Easy UPS On-Line card — the AP9640 and AP9641 Network Management Card 3 units fit Smart-UPS SmartSlot equipment and will not work here. Without a card you still get USB and RS-232 for a direct shutdown link to one host, with PowerChute Serial Shutdown or PowerChute Business Edition. Note that Schneider has discontinued the APV9601; ask us about current stock and the AP9544 successor before you commit to a monitoring design.
Is the SRV1KI covered by warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every APC SRV1KI sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; APC backs the SRV1KI with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Schneider publishes a single worldwide figure of “2 years repair or replace” for the Easy UPS On-Line SRV range — there is no separate European and rest-of-world split on this family, so the term above is the one that applies in Singapore.
