THE SMT1500IC

It may not be a rackmount unit but the SMT1500IC is still a large (439x219x171mm) and especially heavy (24.1Kg) UPS model.

To have a better understanding about its size i placed it next to several other similar models like the APC Backup-UPS Pro 1500VA (review soon), the Eaton Ellipse Pro 1600VA and the CyberPower CP1500EPFCLCD.

The left side of the chassis has 2 perforated sections one of which has an 80mm exhaust fan behind it.

Moving at the front we find the on/off power button, 4 activity LEDs (online/on battery/error/replace battery), LCD screen and 4 navigation buttons (escape/enter/up/down).

Turning the UPS around we find a large sticker guiding you on how to connect the battery right under the RJ45, serial and USB ports, smartslot where you can install even more connectivity ports and next to the battery connector and overload protector.

Removing the sticker reveals the 8 IEC connectors half of which belong to group 1 (you can control devices on that group remotely).

The SMT1500IC has two spill-free sealed lead acid batteries inside (connected and sold as 1) and more specifically the RBC7 model (18ah/24V).
