Schneider Electric has announced that two next-generation models of its Smart-UPS uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units are now available locally.
The Smart-UPS fifth generation models, the standard SMT and the extended run SMX, include features such as an intuitive LCD user interface, switched outlet groups, a high efficiency ‘green’ mode, an enhanced battery management indicator, an emergency power off option that provides shut-off in the event of a fire or other emergency, flash upgradeable firmware and a three-year warranty on UPS hardware and two-year warranty on the internal battery.
“With more than 20 million Smart-UPS units from APC by Schneider Electric sold, these units have become the most popular UPS in the world for servers, storage and networks. They are a trusted product to protect critical data and equipment from power problems as the UPS supplies clean and reliable network-grade power,” says Christelle Larkins, distribution account manager at Schneider Electric South Africa’s IT business unit.
The new models’ highly efficient line interactive design achieves efficiencies greater than 97%, which saves utility and cooling costs without compromising performance or reliability.
The built-in energy meter measures energy use and displays UPS efficiency in various modes of operation for easy energy tracking, whilst the new LCD alpha/ numeric display offers users an intuitive and easy to use interface that provides clear and accurate information in multiple languages.
