APC Smart-UPS 1000VA LCD 230V with SmartConnect
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APC Smart-UPS 1000VA LCD 230V with SmartConnect (SMT1000IC) - Local Warranty
1000VA / 700W Line-Interactive UPS with Sine Wave Output
The APC Smart-UPS SMT1000IC delivers 1000 VA / 700 W of protected power with a true sine wave output at 230 V, matching Singapore's standard 230 V / 50 Hz mains. Its line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation corrects the voltage sags and swells that come with PUB grid disturbances and afternoon storm-season brownouts without drawing on the battery, so the battery is held in reserve for genuine outages rather than being cycled every time the mains wanders. Input is accepted across a 151–302 V adjustable window, and transfer to battery takes 6 ms typically and 10 ms at most.
Built-In SmartConnect Cloud Monitoring — No Network Card Needed
SMT1000IC carries a dedicated SmartConnect Ethernet port for cloud monitoring, alongside USB and serial ports. For an SME office or a branch comms cabinet with no on-site IT staff, that means UPS status and alerts are visible remotely from day one without buying and commissioning a separate management card. The SmartSlot bay stays free, so a Network Management Card 3 or a dry-contact I/O card can still be added later if the site moves to full EcoStruxure-style monitoring.
Sine Wave Output for Active-PFC Servers and Network Gear
The datasheet specifies sine wave output — not a step-approximated or simulated sine wave — which is what modern servers, NAS units and switches with active power factor correction supplies require to ride through a transfer without shutting down or reporting a fault. Eight IEC 60320 C13 outlets plus two IEC jumpers feed a typical rack or comms cabinet load directly, and input is via a standard IEC 60320 C14 inlet.
Tower Form Factor, Quiet Enough for an Office
SMT1000IC is a tower unit and is not rack-mountable — for a rack, the matching 2U model is the SMT1000RMI2UC. At 219 mm high, 171 mm wide and 439 mm deep and 19.4 kg net, it sits under a desk or beside a comms cabinet, and its 41 dBA acoustic level keeps it usable in an occupied office. It operates from 0–40 °C at 0–95 % humidity, which covers the year-round conditions in a non-air-conditioned Singapore riser or store room. The battery is user-replaceable, and recharge time is approximately 3 hours.
Supplied Locally with GST Invoice
SourceIT supplies the SMT1000IC in Singapore with local warranty support and a GST invoice, so procurement, finance and IT are all covered on a single local purchase order rather than a parallel import.

Compatibility & Runtime
What You Can Plug In
The SMT1000IC provides eight IEC 60320 C13 outlets plus two IEC jumpers, all supported by the battery, giving a combined capacity of 1000 VA / 700 W. In practice that suits a single rack-mount or tower server plus a switch and a router, a small virtualisation host, a NAS and its network gear, or a comms cabinet running a firewall, PoE switch and VoIP gateway. Because C13 is the standard IEC kettle-lead socket, most server, switch and storage power cords plug straight in with no adaptor.
Sizing the Load
Size against the 700 W real-power figure as well as the 1000 VA apparent-power figure — whichever limit your equipment reaches first is the one that governs. Schneider Electric does not publish runtime-at-load figures for SMT1000IC in its product datasheet, so no runtime minutes are quoted here. Runtime always depends on the actual connected load, battery age and ambient temperature; the front-panel LCD shows live runtime for your own load, and SourceIT can run a sizing check against your equipment list on request.
Input & Circuit Requirements
Input is an IEC 60320 C14 inlet on 230 V single-phase mains, so the unit connects to a standard Singapore socket outlet with the supplied cord set — no dedicated or hard-wired circuit is required at this capacity. The unit accepts 151–302 V (adjustable) before transferring to battery, and AVR handles correction within that window.
Rack & Mounting
SMT1000IC is a tower unit and the datasheet states it is not rack-mountable. If the unit is destined for a 19-inch rack, order the 2U rackmount equivalent SMT1000RMI2UC instead. No rail kit applies to the tower model.
Monitoring & Management Options
SmartConnect cloud monitoring is built in via a dedicated Ethernet port — no add-in card is required for it. USB and serial ports are also fitted. One SmartSlot bay is free, so the unit can additionally take a Network Management Card 3 or a dry-contact I/O card from the table below. Beyond SmartConnect, Schneider Electric's datasheet for this part number does not state PowerChute or EcoStruxure IT support, so no such claim is made here — ask SourceIT if a specific management platform is a requirement.

Replacement battery cartridge: Schneider Electric's product datasheet for SMT1000IC does not publish an APC replacement battery cartridge (RBC) part number, so none is quoted here. Contact SourceIT with your unit's serial number and we will confirm the correct cartridge before you order. External battery packs are not supported on this model.

Frequently Asked Questions — APC SMT1000IC
What is the difference between the 1000 VA and 700 W ratings, and which one should I size against?
VA is apparent power and W is real power; the SMT1000IC is rated 1000 VA and 700 W. Add up the watt figures on your equipment labels and keep the total comfortably under 700 W, then check that the VA total stays under 1000 VA. Whichever ceiling you reach first is your real limit, so size against both and leave headroom for growth.
How long will the SMT1000IC run during a power cut?
Schneider Electric does not publish runtime-at-load figures for SMT1000IC in its product datasheet, so we do not quote minutes here. Runtime depends on how much load is connected, the age of the battery and the ambient temperature. The front-panel LCD displays live estimated runtime for your actual load, and SourceIT can help size the unit against your equipment list.
What does the "IC" suffix mean on SMT1000IC?
The "IC" suffix denotes the SmartConnect build: it is the 230 V IEC model with APC SmartConnect cloud monitoring built in via a dedicated Ethernet port. The older SMT1000I without the C has no SmartConnect port. These are genuinely different builds, not packaging variants, so quote the exact part number when ordering.
Is the output a true sine wave, and will it work with an active-PFC server power supply?
Yes. The Schneider Electric datasheet specifies sine wave output for SMT1000IC, not a step-approximated or simulated sine wave. That is the output type active power factor correction supplies in modern servers, NAS units and switches expect, so they transfer to battery cleanly rather than reporting a fault or shutting down.
Can I replace the battery myself, and which cartridge does it take?
The datasheet lists the battery as user replaceable, with one replacement battery required per unit and an expected battery life of 3 to 5 years. Schneider Electric does not publish an RBC cartridge part number for SMT1000IC in its product datasheet, so we do not list one here — send SourceIT your serial number and we will confirm the correct cartridge.
Can I mount the SMT1000IC in a 19-inch rack?
No. The datasheet explicitly states the SMT1000IC is a tower unit and is not rack-mountable, and no rail kit is offered for it. For a rack installation choose the 2U rackmount equivalent SMT1000RMI2UC, which carries the same 1000 VA rating in a rack chassis.
Do I need a network management card for remote monitoring?
Not for SmartConnect — cloud monitoring is built in through the dedicated SmartConnect Ethernet port. The SmartSlot bay is left free, so if you later need SNMP, richer alerting or environmental sensing you can add a Network Management Card 3 (AP9640) or the environmental-monitoring AP9641.
How does the SMT1000IC compare with the 1500 VA model?
The SMT1500IC is the next step up in the same SmartConnect tower range and is the usual choice when the load is close to the 700 W ceiling of this unit or when more headroom is wanted for future equipment. Both share the same line-interactive topology, sine wave output and built-in SmartConnect monitoring.
Does this come with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every APC SMT1000IC sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice. Schneider Electric states the manufacturer warranty term for this model by region and its published figure covers the European Community; because the rest-of-world term is not stated on that document we do not quote a duration here. Contact SourceIT and we will confirm the exact term applying to a Singapore-supplied unit before you order.
