unpack/ intial setup procedure APC SMT1500IC

[a-new-SMT1500IC-in-2024]

Hello, 

is this the optimal setup procedure for a new SMT1500IC?

1. unpack the device, 
2. inital connect battery + device
3. connect power cable to apc
4. press power-on button 1-2 seconds
5. intial display wizward should appear (date, language etc)
6. check if network-card is reachable via https
7. connect server, switch, etc. to the APC
8. wait a couple of hours
9. do a runtime calibration
10. check if battery install date is up2date at the webui
11. READY

next step:

automatic shutdown procedure configuration

intial recommened steps in webui of the network card:

time-zone, ntp, dns, static-ip, alert-email

TBC

All look good but some clarification as it relates to the battery calibration. This procedure requires a minimum of 30% attached load connected to the outputs.

This procedure is very tough on the battery cartridge. As the cells are rated to endure 260 full depletion cycles from new.

As such a battery calibration should only be done once a year or when a new cartridge / cells are installed to obtain the most accurate (displayed) operational runtime on the system.

Ensure you update the energy / CO2 costs in the NMC. If your system has the option to enable / disable Green Mode leave it on.

Event / Data logs: Change the retention value from 1500 / 30000. 1500 for NMC 2 cards and 30000 for NMC 3 cards. If the system has a NMC 3 card change the interval from 10 to 5 minutes.

Power Settings: Leave the sensitivity in normal mode.

Output Voltage: Adjust both upper and lower voltage transfer to 127 / 106 VAC.
