APC by Schneider Electric SP Series SPM1KL 1000VA/800W Online Tower UPS (Long Backup / Without Battery)

The APC SP Series SPM1KL is a professional-grade 1kVA/800W Online Tower Type Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) designed by Schneider Electric. As a Long Backup model (Without Built-in Battery), it is engineered to connect to an external 36V battery bank, allowing users to fully customize the discharge time based on their specific backup requirements. Adopting a true online double-conversion structure, it delivers pure sine wave power to critical loads. Featuring conformal-coated circuit boards for harsh environments and an ultra-wide input voltage range, the SPM1KL ensures exceptional operational reliability for communication systems, lighting, and industrial controls.

Key Functions and Features

Customizable Long-Duration Backup

External Battery Configuration: Designed without internal batteries (Equipment Mode: External Battery), it connects to a 36V external battery system, breaking the limitations of standard backup times and fulfilling extended duration needs for mission-critical operations.

Online Double Conversion: Provides zero transfer time and pure sine wave output, isolating equipment from power grid anomalies.

High Reliability in Harsh Environments

Conformal Coating: The internal circuit boards are protected with conformal coating, significantly improving the UPS’s reliability in dusty, humid, or harsh industrial environments.

Wide Input Voltage: Supports an exceptional input range of 110-300VAC, reducing unnecessary battery usage cycles and extending battery life.

Generator Compatible: Supports stable operation within a frequency range of 40~70Hz in generator mode.

High Ease of Use & Intelligent Management

LCD Display: Features a clear LCD interface for quick and convenient parameter settings and monitoring.

Standard Communication: Equipped with RS232 and USB interfaces.

Smart Expansion: Includes a smart card slot that supports optional SNMP cards, Modbus cards, dry contact cards, and environmental monitoring cards for advanced network management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the main difference between the SPM1KL and the SPM1K models?

A: The SPM1KL is a “Long Backup” model that comes without built-in batteries (net weight only 4.4kg). It is designed to connect to an external 36V battery bank to provide hours of customized backup time. The SPM1K is the standard model with built-in batteries (providing ~4 mins at full load).

Q2: What is the external battery voltage requirement for the SPM1KL?

A: The SPM1KL requires an external battery system configured to 36V. The total backup time will depend entirely on the Amp-hour (Ah) capacity of the external batteries you choose to connect.

Q3: Can this UPS operate reliably in harsh or dusty environments?

A: Yes, the SPM1KL features circuit boards protected with conformal coating, significantly improving its operational reliability and lifespan in harsh industrial or humid environments.

Q4: Does the SPM1KL support remote network monitoring?

A: Absolutely. It comes standard with an LCD display, RS232, and USB interfaces. Additionally, it features a smart card slot that supports optional SNMP cards, Modbus cards, and dry contact cards for comprehensive remote management.

Q5: What are the packaging dimensions and gross weight?

A: The SPM1KL is packaged in a sturdy carton measuring 33 × 36.5 × 23.5 cm, with a gross transport package weight of 5.9 kg. The official HS Code is 8504402000.
