Uninterruptible Power Supply

Introduction
The APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges from reaching your equipment. The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
1: INSTALLATION
The User Manual and Safety Guide are accessible on the supplied User Manuals CD and on the APC web site, www.apc.com.
