In the past few years, the configuration of your I infrastructure may have undergone significant changes, as technologies such as virtualization have made higher densities of servers and applications more common. If you haven’t upgraded your UPS system for a period of time, they are likely to be over matched in the event of an interruption.
Today’s UPS technology provides more complex power protection to help you cope with the most demanding IT loads. Schneider Electric’s APC Smart UPS product now supports three features that give us reason to consider upgrading: efficient “green” design, user-friendly LCD display to make IT life easier, and intelligent battery management system. More importantly, APC is providing attractive plans for users trading with I-day UPS, regardless of their brand.
1. Efficient design saves money
The latest Smart UPS model is based on a patent pending design and can significantly improve efficiency. When in “green” mode, the device will bypass unused electrical components with good power supply to achieve 97% or higher operating efficiency without sacrificing any protection. This means that compared to most line interactive UPS devices, it can truly save utility costs. You can actually monitor the power usage of the UPS through the power meter function on the device’s LCD display screen, so you can accurately understand your location. In addition, the new Smart UPS device is compatible with the Energy Star rating server from a leading IT supplier. They also comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) standard, so there are no compliance issues.
2. Humanized LCD display
The new Smart UPS device has a built-in LCD display designed to improve flexibility and usability. You can configure UPS through software or the monitor itself. The display on the rack/tower convertible device can even rotate 90 degrees for easy viewing The intuitive alphanumeric display provides you with clear and accurate UPS and power quality information at a glance. The standard view provides basic status and power quality data, as well as configuration, testing, and diagnostic menus, and general information about the equipment. The advanced view has added a scrolling status screen with additional “Control” and “Log” menu options.
3. New lifecycle and simplified management of battery functions. We have also added a feature in the new Smart UPS product line that is not available on other devices in the market: battery life prediction. The display screen will tell you the exact month and year to replace the battery for optimal protection, and the prediction is dynamic, which means it will adjust based on temperature fluctuations that may affect the battery’s lifecycle. Just take a quick glance through the snow, and you can accurately know the remaining battery life at any time – no need to guess anymore.
Due to the intelligent battery management function only providing the amount of power required by the battery, your battery will also last longer. This extends battery life and prevents overcharging through precise temperature compensation charging. Even if the battery is completely depleted, it can ensure restarting your load after a prolonged power outage.
4. After sales Service Advantage – In addition to all new features, you also enjoy industry-leading after-sales service advantages, with the Smart UPS series providing original on-site services during the warranty period. National warranty for two years, in case of quality problems during the warranty period, you can enjoy the service of only replacing without repairing, reducing your troubles.
Ensure that the old UPS is not a weak link in your infrastructure. View the new and smarter Smart UPS series and make it easier to use than ever before with its proven reliability, efficient design, and new features.
