FAQs
What is the difference between a line interactive UPS and an offline UPS?
A line interactive UPS continuously regulates voltage and provides better protection against power anomalies compared to offline models. The APC Smart-UPS SC actively monitors input power and switches to battery backup during outages, offering superior protection for networking equipment and POS systems.
Can the battery be replaced without shutting down connected equipment?
Yes. The APC Smart-UPS SC features live swappable batteries, allowing you to replace the battery (RBC18) without powering down connected devices. This minimises downtime in critical environments.
How long will the UPS provide backup power?
Runtime depends on the connected load. At full 280W load, runtime will be shorter than at reduced loads. For precise runtime calculations based on your specific equipment, contact Hyetech Australia or consult APC's battery runtime calculator.
Is this UPS suitable for use in Australia?
Yes. The SC 450VA supports 230V input and is certified to Australian and international standards (CE, C-Tick, EAC, GOST, TISI, VDE). It automatically supports both 50Hz and 60Hz power systems.
What data line protection does it offer?
The Smart-UPS SC includes built-in protection for network connectivity to guard against power surges and transients on data lines, protecting network equipment from damage during power disturbances.
Can the UPS be monitored remotely?
Yes. The unit features RS-232 and network interface connections, allowing integration with APC PowerChute software and compatible network management systems for remote monitoring and alerts.
What is included in the box?
The package includes the UPS unit, user manual, rackmount brackets, RS-232 signalling cable, and software CD. You may need to source additional power cables depending on your specific outlet configuration.
