What is the diff between the model families? SMC VS SMT

What is the diff between the model families?

The SC units are more of an "entry level" smart ups. Actually they were replaced by the SMC units. The SC units output a step approximated sine wave just like our back up units. These units also do not have a smart slot. The SMC units now output a pure sine save and have a LCD display on it. The SMT units output a pure sine wave, and have a better(more info) LCD display. They also have a smart slot in case you wanted to install a network management card. I would suggest the SMT1500 but if cost is a deciding factor, I would at least consider the SMC1500 as it does have the pure sine save and a better LCD(than the SC) I'm not sure if you're familiar with our network management cards but the biggest advantage of those is the ability to integrate with our software, power chute network shutdown. This will be very helpful if you have multiple servers needing to be shutdown on the same UPS. Otherwise, it's just a nice way to remotely monitor your UPS over your network(rather than usb or serial).

Please let us know if you have any questions. I have included a few links below. The FA # references a document on the step approximated sine wave and why it may affect you.
