Overview
- The APC Easy UPS 1 SMV3000CAI is a compact, single-phase line interactive UPS designed to protect critical business systems from power interruptions and voltage fluctuations. At 3kVA capacity, it delivers pure sine wave output suitable for sensitive IT equipment, audio/video systems, and POS terminals.
The unit features automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to stabilise mains voltage variations between 165–295V without consuming battery power, extending runtime during outages. Its line interactive topology makes it ideal for environments with inconsistent power conditions, providing the right balance between protection and efficiency.
With 6 IEC C13 outlets, it can support multiple devices simultaneously. The built-in intelligent card slot, USB port, and RS-232 interface enable remote monitoring, shutdown management, and integration with building management systems.
Backed by a 24-month warranty and supplied with documentation, manual, and USB cable, the SMV3000CAI is a practical, cost-effective solution for small offices, server rooms, and retail locations requiring dependable backup power.

FAQs
How long will the APC Easy UPS 1 keep my equipment running during a power outage?
At full load (2100W), the SMV3000CAI provides approximately 3 minutes 8 seconds of runtime. Actual runtime depends on the load connected. Lower loads will extend runtime. For extended protection, consider a higher capacity model or additional battery packs.
What is automatic voltage regulation (AVR) and how does it help?
AVR automatically stabilises mains voltage fluctuations between 165–295V without switching to battery power. This protects equipment from voltage spikes and sags, reduces battery drain, and extends UPS lifespan—ideal for locations with unstable power supply.
Can I monitor the UPS remotely?
Yes. The SMV3000CAI features an intelligent card slot, USB port, and RS-232 interface for network monitoring and management. Compatible with APC network management cards (e.g., APV9602) for remote shutdown, alerts, and integration with IT management systems.
How many devices can I connect to this UPS?
The SMV3000CAI provides 6 IEC C13 outlets, allowing you to connect up to 6 devices. Total connected load must not exceed 2100W (3000 VA rated capacity).
Is the APC Easy UPS 1 suitable for server rooms?
Yes. With pure sine wave output, wide voltage tolerance, and communication interfaces, it is well-suited for protecting servers, network switches, and other critical IT infrastructure in small to medium environments. Ensure total load does not exceed 2100W.
What warranty and support is included?
The SMV3000CAI comes with a 24-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Replacement batteries (APCRBCV209) are available separately. Technical support and documentation are provided.
Does the UPS require rack mounting?
No. The SMV3000CAI is a tower UPS, designed to stand freely on the floor or under a desk. It is not suitable for 19-inch rack installation. If rack mounting is required, consider APC's rack-mount UPS range.
