Product Description

The SMT1500I is a 1500VA Smart-UPS in a tower form factor, supplied as the international version of the SMT1500 platform. It provides battery backup and power protection for connected AV, server, and networking loads during utility events. The tower chassis is designed to sit free-standing beside equipment rather than mount inside a rack, which suits AV head-end positions and equipment rooms without rack space. As an international version, it is configured for markets that use international power standards rather than North American 120V outlets. The Smart-UPS line is engineered for intelligent, efficient network power protection across a range of connected devices. For AV integrators, it offers a familiar Smart-UPS platform where a tower unit is preferred over a rack-mount UPS. Confirm the input and outlet configuration against your site requirements before deployment, since this is the international variant.
