APC Smart-UPS SMT - SMT750I - Uninterruptible Power Supply 750VA (Line Interactive, AVR, LCD Panel, 6 Outlets IEC-C13, Shutdown Software)

I had a previous model from APC which kept my system safe for years on end. However, just a few months ago the battery finally died and the unit became unusable - aside from not working, the unit also emits the most annoying of whines imaginable! Coincidentally, just a couple of moths subsequent to the death of my old APC unit, my Windows based PC crashed big time - again! To say I was not pleased by said hardware crash could be the understatement of the century; and finally having quite enough of everything Windows, I decided to take out a second mortgage (just kidding) and purchase a brand new, sparkly 27" iMac 5k Retina. Furthermore, on discovering virtually nothing in my hardware collection actually worked with my new iMac, I went quite mad and purchased a worryingly large number of hardware beauties. A new Colour Laser Printer, a new Photo Scanner, and a superb and quite enormous new A3 dedicated Photo printer to be specific. Add to this little lot a Disk Drive (Apple have none), a Blu-Ray Drive (Apple do not like Blu-Ray apparently?) Raid External Hard Disk Storage, and a couple of USB Hubs, etc...and I may just have to leave my homeland soon! First impressions are my new APC is just as heavy as the old one - they weigh a ton for such a compact unit! The item comes with a minimum of documentation, and several leads. Rather surprisingly, the unit does not appear to come with a UK mains lead? My old APC unit certainly came with a UK mains lead, so I am rather puzzled why it is missing from my new example? Anyway, although unpacked, scrutinised and much admired, I have not as yet actually installed the unit with all my bits and bobs. It will be a hassle with my particular home office configuration, and will inevitably involve much grovelling on the floor which is not a pleasant prospect. Thus, watch this space! I will hope to provide a better review when the deed is eventually done. Postscript :- All up and running well. Tried to install the Powerchute software, but my iMac didn't want to know. Subsequently, I have learned their is software already built into OS-X to handle an APC UPS? Need to investigate further, but by the look of it I will not need the APC software at all which is handy.

This unit is compact & sits on edge of desk & provides power to: two pc's, two Buffalo Drive Station external disk drives & router. Has display which shows % load. It replaced an old battery back up unit on which alarm would not turn off if power went of for a while, very annoying at night. On this unit it's very easy to turn system & alarm off if necessary. Have not bothered to link it to pc's as always around when backups to pc's being carried out. Had to also separately purchase an ICE C14 to 6 Way Gang UK Mains Extension Socket Lead to connect in back of APC unit, which has six of these computer type power outlet sockets, and pc's e.t.c all have square three pin plugs.

A Great small UPS, although the front panel navigation is not intuitive it does not take long to get around, its powering my PS4, Sky HD Box and a 40" Sony TV. Quiet in use and for the price the piece of mind is great. I called APC to see if this was the model I needed, rather than a more powerful one and they were very helpful. Definitely worth buying. I have an Older APC 1500Va Smart UPS and that has saved my bacon more than a few times.

Fabulous piece of kit which I wouldn't be without. Easy to set up and it shuts down my hard drive enclosure when there is a power cut and so preventing and damage. If you have valuable data and video files, then this type of accessory is a must. Update Oct 2020 - After 6 1/2 years the battery pack failed so I bought a replacement for £90. An excellent product that has and will continue to serve me well.

2 of 3 worked straight out of the box - the third was faulty but replaced at nil cost in a reasonable time frame.

I used a simple APC Back-UPS ES 700 for my computer equipment (iMac, external hard drive, ReadyNAS) but it was not as reliable as it should have been under some of the power cut conditions we experienced, consequently two hard drives in my ReadyNAS developed SMART errors. When the battery expired I decided to upgrade. I since purchased a replacement battery and am now using the ES 700 for my TV and PS3. No such problems with the APC LCD 750, it soaks up any surges and blips, runs it's own self-tests periodically, and shows me a lot of information about the supply, power consumption, and some things I don't even know what they mean. It has six outputs which, unlike the ES 700 which only had four that were on battery backup and four more on surge protection only, all are surge protected and on battery backup. The power has gone off since I purchased this and I haven't had any problems. Two IEC connection cables are provided, I purchased some suitable cable and connectors and made my own fly-leads so that I could connect UK mains plugs to the UPS without having to use IEC leads.

The first one that came was faulty but the supplier sent a courier out and replaced it within a day which was good of them. The new one works and is perfect.

Works perfectly next to the previous APC UPS that I have. The display is easy to read, and the settings can be changed on the unit as well. I use Windows 10 with the PC attached to this UPS and that handles all the shutting down. I also have the monitor, switch, printer and wireless access point attached. At full load on the PC, the total load is around 80% for the UPS. With the PC off, the load is 25%.

Grande qualità APC, come sempre una garanzia nel campo degli ups. Regge senza problemi il carico dichiarato, con l'autonomia dichiarata, e questo sarebbe il minimo, ma con gruppi di altri produttori non sempre è una certezza, Ha il suo prezzo, ma lo vale fino all'ultimo centesimo. Onda sinusoidale pura, solidità e cura nei dettagli, compatto ma discretamente pesante, perfettamente riconosciusto da pc e nas Qnap tramite il cavo usb (in dotazione) per impostare lo spegnimento dei sistemi prima della fine dell'autonomia della batteria in caso di assenza prolungata di corrente. Il display offre una grande quantità di informazioni, ed ogni impostazione è completamente configurabile, compresa la qualità della linea in entrata, i livelli di uscita, segnali acustici e visualizzazione display stesso. Visualizza informazioni sul carico, sulla linea elettrica, sull'autonomia residua, oltre a stato della batteria, ed eventuale data di sostituzione, praticamente offre qualsiasi informazione possa lontanamente tornare utile All'accensione esegue un self test di pochi secondi del sistema e della batteria, ed è l'unico momento in cui lo sentirete emettere una qualsiasi idea di rumore, per il resto è totalmente muto, uno spettacolo. Da prendere seriamente in considerazione, perchè si tratta di uno di quegli oggetti che si acquistano una volta e poi si porteranno dietro per anni e anni.

Un gros bébé de 14 kgs que cet onduleur, les batteries au plomb et la construction robuste et soignée expliquent cela. Immédiatement testé, l'appareil se comporte comme souhaité, fiable, silencieux, avec l'écran qui vous envoie régulièrement les paramètres de fonctionnement. Seul bémol, pas de manuel de bord papier, il faut aller pêcher le dossier correspondant sur le CD joint et l'imprimer. On peut aussi laisser les réglages par défaut, il fonctionne aussi bien, mais c'est plus fun de personnaliser. Personnellement, j'ai le secteur le plus souvent en 236 VAC, parfois en 240 VAC, il est vrai que je suis à 1km à vol d'oiseau du poste électrique, ça aide. Mon nouvel ordi avec Core i7 3930, 4 disques et une alim Corsair de 750W tire à peine 150VA, je suis donc tranquille avec les 750 VA de l'appareil. Détail important pour terminer : les alims PC ade bonne qualité sont des FPC, il leur faut donc être fournies en courant pure sinusoïde, ce que fournit cet onduleur. Pas vraiment bon marché, mais la qualité se paie.

Es lo que estaba buscando para mi servidor NAS synology, es el complemento ideal para no dañar los RAID ante un corte de corriente porque pasa a modo seguro y apaga solo el NAS, antes de apagarse también ella, cuando se produce un corte de luz y lo restablece todo como estaba cuando vuelve la corriente. Genial

Da in letzter Zeit immer wieder Diskussionen über eventuelle Stromausfälle entbrannt sind, hatte ich mich dazu entschieden meine Geräte besser vor evtl. Beschädigungen zu schützen. In erster Linie geht es mir um einen Desktop und mehrerer Geräte zum Speichern von Daten. Die Unterbrechungsfreie-Stromversorgung mit einer Ausgangsleistung von 750 VA von APC, wurde praktisch vollgeladen geliefert. Zur Aktivierung muss lediglich eine Sicherungsbrücke auf der Rückseite eingesteckt werden. Für die insgesamt 6 Anschlüsse hat der Hersteller 2 Stromkabel beigelegt. Wer weitere Geräte anschließen möchte, muss also zuerst weitere Stromkabel erwerben. Das Display hat einen breiten Betrachtungswinkel was sehr gut ist, da meine USV nicht auf Augenhöhe steht. Dies trägt zu einer einfachen Bedienung über die 4 auf der Vorderseite angeordneten Hardware-Tasten. Da ich nur wenig Erfahrung mit einer kleineren USV die ich bereits besitze habe, versorgte ich zuerst nur 2 Geräte mit Strom über die APC SMT750I. Ich finde es sehr informativ, dass auf dem Display der USV der aktuelle Stromverbrauch und die daraus geschätzte Restlaufzeit der Stromversorgung mit der USV aufgeführt wird. Bei einem ersten Test steckte ich einfach das Stromkabel mit dem die USV versorgt wird ab und beobachtete ob die angeschlossenen Geräte ohne Probleme weiterlaufen. Da dies ohne jegliche Ausfälle durchgeführt wurde entschloss ich mich, die maximale Anzahl von 6 Geräten mit der USV zu verbinden. Erneut rief ich die Daten über das Display der USV ab: Akku 100 % geladen, aktueller Stromverbrauch ca. 190 Watt, restliche Laufzeit ca. 30 Minuten. Nun zog ich das Stromkabel erneut ab und die USV schaltete wieder extrem schnell von Netz- auf Batterieversorgung um. Während sich die USV bei 2 angeschlossenen Geräten noch relativ ruhig verhielt, gab sie bei 6 Geräten deutliche Geräusche von sich. Ungeachtet dessen versorgte sie die Geräte durchgehend und stabil mit Strom. Fazit: mit dieser Unterbrechungsfreien-Stromversorgung bin ich nun deutlich entspannter, sollte es doch einmal zu einem Stromausfall kommen während die Geräte aktiv sind.

Très bon design. Mise en service très simple. Avec une simple connexion USB avec un Mac (câble fourni), et sans aucun logiciel à installer, vous pouvez configurer en quelques clics votre Mac pour qu'il s'éteigne dès que la charge de l'onduleur devient critique. Cette fonction apparaît, dès que le câble USB est connecté, dans les réglages d'économie d'énergie du Mac. Je connecte 18 appareils divers dessus. En fonctionnement minimal (45W) j'ai plus de 1h30 d'autonomie.
