1.0 Introduction
1.1 Overview
This equipment is a high performance line interactive uninterruptible power source
(UPS) designed to provide clean, reliable AC power to computer loads. The UPS's line
interactive circuit topology, illustrated below, of fers excellent efficiency , on-line voltage
regulation and fast utility fault response.
The UPS’s DC-to-AC inverter is always connected to the output and when operating online, a portion of the inverter circuitry is put to work “in reverse” to continuously
maintain optimum float charge on the battery . The inverter cir cuitry also acts to protect
the load from surges and EMI/RFI noise as part of an advanced hybrid surge suppression
and filtering network. A unique mode of operation, named SmartBoost, serves to regulate
the load voltage by compensating for brownouts or sags. This is accomplished without
the need to draw power from the UPS’s battery . In anticipation of utility failure, the UPS
continuously monitors the line and prepares the inverter frequency for synchronous
transfer of the load. Upon occurrence of utility voltage failure such as a blackout, severe
brownout or an overvoltage condition, the UPS transfers the load to power derived from
the battery. T ransfer to the "on-battery" mode of operation takes place typically within
2 milliseconds. The inverter's output voltage waveshape is a low distortion sine wave.
Resynchronization and retransfer to on-line operation is automatic upon recovery of the
line voltage to within normal limits.

Line interactive UPS block diagram
1.0 Introduction
1.2 SmartBoost
SmartBoost allows continuous on-line operation during extended brownouts or low line
voltage conditions. The UPS compensates for the reduced line voltage by boosting the
load voltage to a value 12% above the input. Reliability is enhanced because the limited
battery capacity is saved for complete utility failures.
1.3 Battery replacement indicators and test
The UPS provides both visual and audible Replace Battery indications. The indications
are based on the result of an actual load test on the battery . By exercising the UPS’s battery
during a startup test, the UPS is able to detect a weak battery before it is put into service.
In applications where the UPS is not turned off daily , or where the UPS is purposely left
operating unattended, the UPS automatically conducts this self test every 14 days.
1.4 Remote interfaces
The UPS provides a remote computer interface capable of full bidirectional RS-232
communications. When combined with PowerDoctor UPS monitoring software and a
serially connected local DOS PC, power quality related events can be logged. PowerChute plus offers all the features of PowerDoctor , plus the ability to control orderly and
unattended network or multi-user computer system shutdown during an extended
power outage. Also available for the UPS is the SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) Adapter to provide load type independent remote monitoring and management across Ethernet or T oken Ring based LANs or WANs capable of routing IP messages.
Using any standard Network Management System (NMS) and the SNMP Adapter , the
UPS becomes manageable through a single familiar interface - from across your building
to across the world.
1.5 Extended capabilities
Via the UPS's remote interface, the user can access advanced monitoring, power management and operation customizing functions. Monitored parameters include line voltage,
line frequency, output power, output voltage, battery capacity, battery voltage and
internal temperature. Power management functions include scheduled shutdown,
power failure simulation, and remote turn off. UPS functions that can be customized
include the automatic self test and low battery warning intervals; shut down, turn-off
and turn-on delay intervals; transfer voltage; utility fault sensitivity; and activation of
the audible alarm.

■ 220/230/240 Vac versions
The 600V A and 900V A UPS is not furnished with an input line cor d. Instead, two output
cords are supplied. However , in most installations it will not be necessary to purchase a
UPS input power cord. Simply swap the line cords from your equipment with the
furnished output cords. Plug in the UPS using one of the swapped out equipment cords.
The UPS's input cord must be three conductor, each 1.0 mm
In the event your equipment does not
have a removable line cord, the provided rewireable plug may be installed
on the line cord. Additional output
cords and adapter plugs are available
from your dealer and from the factory.

, rated to 10 Amps.
The 2000VA model UPS is furnished
with an input line cord terminated with a "continental" European plug. Where this plug
is improper , one of the supplied plug adapters is used. Wher e none of the adapters are
appropriate, a three conductor 16 Amp line cor d terminated with an IEC 320 C19 coupler
must be purchased - contact you dealer.
The UPS may be configured to operate wher e 240 V ac, 50 Hz service is provided. When
Option switch 2 is set to the on position, the UPS's transfer and on-battery output
voltages are adjusted for proper operation on 240 Vac service. See section 5.6 .
4.5.2 Enable UPS
Move the UPS Enable switch to the on ( I ) position. When shipped,
this switch is in the off position to prevent accidental activation
of the UPS. The batteries will not appreciably discharge if this
switch is left on.
Allow the UPS to charge its battery for at least 16 hours before use.
The UPS recharges its battery whenever the utility voltage is normal and UPS Enable
switch is on. While the UPS was shipped from the factory with the batteries in a fully
charged state, the batteries may lose some char ge during shipping and storage. Y ou may
use the UPS immediately without charging, but the Low Battery indicator may illuminate
and the UPS may have reduced backup time until the battery has had an opportunity to
charge.
Page 16
4.0 Installation
4.6 Plug loads into UPS
Plug all loads to be protected into the UPS. Do not exceed the UPS's capacity as given in
section 9.0. Once switched on, the UPS will monitor and display the magnitude of the
applied load.
Note: Do not plug laser printers into this UPS. Laser printers
draw a considerable amount of power. This will reduce the
available backup time and in some cases will cause the UPS to
signal an overload.
4.7 Check Site Wiring Fault indicator - 120 Vac versions
Once loads are connected to the UPS and the UPS is turned on, the Site Wiring Fault
indicator at the UPS's rear panel should be checked. It will illuminate when the UPS is
plugged into an improperly wired wall outlet. W iring faults detected include missing
ground, hot-neutral polarity reversal and overloaded neutral
circuit.
Note: If the UPS indicates a site wiring fault, a qualified
electrician should be summoned to correct the building wiring.
4.8 Switch on load equipment
If load equipment switches are left on, the UPS's I/T est pushbutton can be used as master
system on/off switch.
4.9 Switch on the UPS
The UPS and your loads will become energized when the I/Test
pushbutton is held pressed for a second. Once powered, the UPS
will initiate a battery test. During the test, the UPS will operate the
load from power derived fr om the battery . This test function ensures
that the UPS is working properly and that its battery does not require
replacement. In the event the batteries are too weak to support the load during
the test, the UPS will immediately return to on-line operation (the load will not be
affected). The test is completed when the On Line indicator ceases to blink.
Note: If the red Load indicator is illuminated, the UPS is overloaded. Unplug equipment
that does not require backing up, such as a printer, and restart the UPS. If the Replace
Battery indicator illuminates, recharge the UPS overnight and retest.

5.1.1 On / Test / Alarm disable pushbutton
The On / T est / Alarm disable pushbutton is used to contr ol activation of the UPS and to
energize the load. Once the UPS is energized, pressing the button will initiate a battery
test. This will force the UPS to operate on-battery for a brief time during which the UPS
determines the strength of the battery. When the UPS is on-battery, this button may be
pressed to silence the utility failure audible warning.
5.1.2 Power standby pushbutton
When held pressed for a second, this control will deenergize the UPS and all protected
loads. However , operation of the UPS's battery char ger is unaf fected by this contr ol.
5.1.3 On Line indicator
Illumination of the On Line indicator means that the load is being supplied conditioned
power derived from the utility service. The indicator blinks during the battery test.
5.1.4 On Battery indicator
Illumination of the On Battery indicator means that load has been transferred to power
derived from the UPS's battery and that utility voltage is not within normal limits.
5.1.5 Smart Boost indicator
Illumination of SmartBoost indicator means that the SmartBoost circuitry has been
engaged to compensate for unacceptably low line voltage. The UPS is capable of
operating in this mode continuously without draining charge fr om the battery .
5.1.6 Replace Battery indicator
Illumination of the Replace Battery indicator means that the automatic battery test has
found that the battery is weak and requires replacement. The indicator is extinguished
following a successful battery test.

The battery capacity bar graph continuously displays the state of battery charge. In the
above example, the display shows that 100% of rated battery capacity is available. Where
power quality is fair, the UPS will be able to maintain the battery at 100% of rated
capacity . In the event of an extended utility failure, the capacity shown will decr ease at
a rate dependent on the load drawn from the UPS. Large computer loads will cause the
battery capacity indication to fall at a faster rate. When low battery conditions are
reached, the bottom-most bar will blink. Once normal line voltages are restored, the UPS
will recharge the battery and the capacity bar graph will show an increasing number of
illuminated bars.

The output power bar graph displays the power drawn from the UPS as a percentage of
the UPS's full rated capacity. This example shows that the load equipment is drawing
between 67% and 85% of the UPS's rated capacity . If this wer e a 1250VA UPS running a
computer load, then the above would correspond to between 840 VA and 1060 VA (590
W atts and 740 Watts at 0.7 power factor). This is a typical installation. When the UPS is
loaded such that five bars are illuminated, thoroughly test your complete system to be
sure the UPS will not become overloaded. A thorough test includes running backup tape
drives, disk drives, etc. If the UPS becomes overloaded, the overload bar will illuminate
and the UPS will sound an alarm.

The line voltage bar graph displays the UPS's input voltage in discrete steps. Line voltage
is displayed when the I/T est pushbutton is pressed and held. The example above shows
that the UPS's input line voltage is between 116 and 123 Vac (120 Vac version UPS, see
table for values for other versions). If no bars are illuminated, and the UPS is plugged into
a known working wall outlet, the line voltage is extremely low . Low input voltage could
be a result of an overloaded branch circuit, a misadjusted service pole transformer or
intentional local service brownout. The UPS will compensate for this problem by
boosting the load voltage supplied to your computer equipment. If all six bars are
illuminated, the line voltage is high and should be checked by a qualified electrician.

5.5 Audible alarm
The UPS contains a beeper that emits sound through the ventilation openings. Events
that cause the beeper to sound are listed below.
5.5.1 On-battery operation
The UPS emits four short beeps every 30 seconds following failure of the utility. The
audible alarm is silenced until the next utility failure when the I/Test pushbutton is
pressed.
5.5.2 Low battery
During an extended utility failure, the UPS will eventually emit continuous beeps to
indicate that the UPS will soon shut down due to battery capacity exhaustion. The low
battery warning cannot be muted.

5.5.3 Replace battery
In the event the UPS's battery fails a battery test, the UPS will emit "chirps" for a period
of 1 minute. If the UPS is left operating while in this condition, the UPS will emits chirps
once every 5 hours until a successful battery test is completed.
5.5.4 Overload
The UPS will emit a loud, sustained tone when overloaded. When an overload is applied
while on-line, the alarm will sound until the overload is removed. If the overload is
applied while on-battery , the alarm will sound until the UPS Enable contr ol is switched
off.
5.6 Option switches
Note: Option switches may
be thrown at any time and
take effect immediately.
5.6.1 Option switch 1
The UPS contains utility fault detection circuitry that is extremely sensitive to line
voltage distortions including spikes, notches, sudden dips and swells. The UPS is factory
set to react to such line voltage distortions by transferring the load immediately to onbattery operation. This affords maximum protection for all load types. Where power
quality is poor due to local cyclic heavy load switching or use of inexpensive fuel
generators, the UPS may be caused to transfer to on-battery operation very often. If the
UPS is powering loads that are known to operate normally under such conditions, such
behavior is undesirable as battery capacity is being spent unnecessarily .
The user may set Option switch 1 to the on ( I ) position in order to desensitize the UPS
to rapid low amplitude line voltage fluctuations. When this is done, the UPS's upper
transfer voltage is also increased by 3%, for a total of 13% above the nominal input
voltage. This allows the UPS's battery charger to maintain maximum possible battery
capacity, saving it for gross utility failures.

5.0 Operation
5.6 Option switches - continued
5.6.2 Option switch 2
Option switch 2 controls different functions depending upon the UPS version type.
■ 120 Vac version
The UPS's factory set input voltage limits for on-line and SmartBoost operation are given
in section 9.0 and are centered on the nominal input voltage of 120 Vac. When Option
switch 2 is set to the on ( I ) position, the upper and lower transfer voltages are lowered
by 4% and are centered on a nominal input of 1 15 Vac. This option is useful where the
nominal input voltage is 110 to 1 15 Vac.
■ 220/230/240 Vac version
The UPS's factory set on-battery output voltage and input voltage limits for on-line and
SmartBoost operation are appropriate for use in regions where the nominal line voltage
is 220 to 230 V ac. When Option switch 2 is set to the on ( I ) position, the upper and lower
transfer voltages are raised by 4% and are centered on a nominal input of 240 Vac. In
addition, the on-battery output voltage is increased to 240 Vac.
5.6.3 Option switch 3
When Option switch 3 is set to the on ( I ) position, the UPS's audible alarm is disabled for
the first 30 seconds of an extended utility fault. This function is useful where brief power
interruptions are frequent and cause the alarm to become annoying.
5.6.4 Option switch 4
When Option switch 4 is set to the on ( I ) position, the UPS's low battery warning interval
before shutdown due to battery capacity exhaustion is extended. This function is useful
where the UPS is protecting a computer system that requires a longer warning interval
before power loss to perform a graceful shutdown.
Page 22
5.0 Operation
5.7 Extended capabilities
The following sections briefly describe the UPS’s extended capabilities. These advanced
functions are accessed by a computer running optional PowerDoctor or PowerChute plus
UPS monitoring software. See the UPS monitoring software literature for more information on the application of these functions.
Note: The extended capabilities of the UPS and operation of UPS monitoring software
may be altered or amended without notice.
5.7.1 Status reporting
● General - When queried, the UPS reports its electronics serial number, version number,
date of manufacture and date of last battery replacement.
● Operating status - When queried, the UPS reports its current operating status.
Reported modes includes on-line, on-battery, Smart Boost, overloaded output, low
battery, shut down and internal fault.
● T est results - When queried, the UPS reports the stor ed results of the last automatic or
manually initiated battery test. The user may also test the operation of the UPS’s visual
and audible indicators.
5.7.2 Monitoring
● Line voltage and frequency- The UPS continuously monitors the rms line voltage and
the line frequency. Transients lasting less than 0.5 seconds are not reported. This
information can be logged using UPS monitoring software, plotted using any spreadsheet
application and used to identify transient power quality problems over extended periods.
● Minimum and maximum line voltage - The minimum and maximum line voltage is
recorded to provide a snapshot of power quality over a user specified interval. Transients
lasting less than 0.5 seconds are not recorded.
● Output power - The UPS continuously monitors the power consumed by the load. The
value given is a percentage of the full load rating of the UPS. This information can be
logged using UPS monitoring software, plotted using any spreadsheet application and
used to determine load usage over extended periods.
Page 23
5.0 Operation
5.7 Extended capabilities - continued
● Output voltage, internal temperature, battery voltage, battery capacity - The UPS
continuously monitors the rms output voltage, internal temperature in degrees Celsius,
battery voltage, and the remaining battery capacity as a percentage of the fully charged
condition. This information is valuable for troubleshooting purposes.
5.7.3 Power management
● Shut down - While operating on-battery, the UPS may be directed to shut down
following a user set delay . Controlled shut down of the UPS conserves battery capacity
and extends battery life because the UPS is not allowed to run until all battery capacity
is exhausted.
● Shut down with delayed restart - The UPS may be directed to shut down in any mode
following a user set delay , then restart after another user set delay . The restart delay may
be used to stagger power up multiple network servers protected by multiple UPSs.
● Simulate power failure - The UPS may be directed to simulate a power failure by
briefly operating on-battery . This function is useful for test purposes.
● T urn off - The UPS may be directed to turn off immediately or following a user settable
delay .
5.7.4 Operation customizing
Alteration of many UPS operations is possible to suit specific applications. In order to use
the customizing features of the UPS, all Option switches must be set to the on ( I ) position.
Functionality of the option switches is not lost as all such functions are duplicated by the
UPS monitoring software. Once any of the Option switches are returned to the off
position, functionality governed by the position of all Option switches is also restored.
● Battery test operation - The battery test can be customized to automatically run upon
startup, upon startup and once every 7 days thereafter , upon startup and once every 14
days thereafter, or never . The UPS’s battery test operation default setting is upon start
and every 14 days thereafter.
● T ransfer voltage - The UPS’s upper and lower transfer voltages can be customized over
a wide range. Default settings are given in section 9.0.
● On-battery output voltage (220/230/240 Vac versions only) - The UPS’s on-battery
Page 24
5.0 Operation
5.7 Extended capabilities - continued
output voltage may be set to a nominal 220, 225, 230 or 240 V ac. The UPS’s default setting
is 225 Vac.
● Utility failure sensitivity - The UPS’s sensitivity to line voltage distortions may be
customized to allow use of the UPS in “noisy” electrical environments or with fuel
powered generators. High, medium and low sensitivity settings may be chosen. The high
setting provides the best protection from all utility voltage vagaries. The medium setting
is selected where rapid low amplitude line voltage fluctuations occur frequently as the
result of motor load switching in air conditioners, elevators, etc. The low setting is
selected when the UPS is operated from an inexpensive fuel powered generator. The
UPS’s utility failure sensitivity default setting is high.
● Audible alarm operation - The UPS’s audible alarm beeps four times every 30 seconds
in response to failed utility conditions. The alarm beeps continuously when low battery
conditions are reached. This is the default operation. Audible alarm operation may be
customized such that an indication in response to utility failure is delayed by 30 seconds,
silenced until low battery conditions are reached, or muted during both utility failure and
low battery conditions.
● Minimum battery capacity to restart - The UPS may be customized so that it will not
restart upon restoration of the utility until the battery has been recharged to within 0%,
10%, 25% or 90% of full capacity . This function eliminates unexpectedly short run times
when repetitive utility failures occur. The UPS’s minimum battery capacity to restart
default setting is 0%.
● Shut down, turn off delay - The UPS’s shut down or turn off delay interval may be
customized to 20, 180, 300 or 600 seconds. The UPS’s shut down delay default setting is
20 seconds. Extension of the shut delay is useful where the time between issuance of the
UPS shut down command, and actual completion of the operating system shutdown
routine is longer than 20 seconds.
● T urn on delay - The UPS’s turn on delay may be customized to 0, 60, 180 or 300 seconds.
The UPS’s turn on delay default setting is 0 seconds.

6.0 UPS Monitoring
6.1 Overview
A UPS system alone pr ovides excellent protection from brief power problems. However ,
during an extended power outage an unattended computer system will eventually shut
down due to battery capacity exhaustion. To prevent data corruption when the UPS shuts
down, the computer must be informed by the UPS of impending shut down and take
appropriate file-saving measures. This important function is called “UPS monitoring.”
The UPS’s computer interface port is the means by which your UPS communicates with
a computer system.
Some computer operating systems have built-in UPS monitoring. These systems require
various hardware interfaces. Interface kits for all operating systems that support UPS
monitoring are available from your dealer . In addition, your dealer also of fers Power Chute software which enhances such built-in UPS monitoring. V ersions of PowerChute
are available which add the UPS monitoring function to the many operating systems
which do not inherently provide UPS monitoring.
6.2 Interface Kits
A series of interface kits is available for operating systems that provide UPS monitoring.
Each interface kit includes the special interface cable required to convert status signals
from the UPS into signals which individual operating systems recognize. Each kit
includes all necessary installation instructions. Systems for which interface kits are
offered include Novell, LAN Manager , LAN Server , LANtastic, Banyan VINES and IBM
AS/400.
6.3 PowerChute Software
PowerChute software provides complete data protection for most operating systems.
This software is a background process that monitors the UPS through a RS-232 serial port
on the host. PowerChute offers user notification of impending shutdown, power event
logging, auto-restart upon power return and UPS battery conservation features. For
selected operating systems, PowerChute offers sophisticated power diagnostic and
network power management features. These include interactive battery testing; scheduled server shutdowns, reboots and battery testing; detailed power quality logging and
a remote, real time, graphical power status display showing UPS loading and battery
conditions. PowerChute is available for many platforms including Novell, OS/2,
AppleShare, XENIX, most UNIX-based operating systems, and DEC V AX/VMS.
Caution: Use only factory supplied or authorized UPS monitoring cables!

6.4 Computer interface port
The computer interface port is diagramed below for your reference. Those with technical
abilities wishing to use this port in a special application should be aware of the following
limitations and capabilities of the interface.
■ Outputs at pins 3, 5 and 6 are actually open collector outputs which must be pulled up
to a common referenced supply no greater than +40 Vdc. The transistors are capable of
a maximum non-inductive load of 25 mAdc. Use only Pin 4 as the common.
■ The output at Pin 2 will generate a LO to HI RS-232 level upon transfer of the output
load to power derived from the UPS’s battery . The pin is normally at a LO RS-232 level.
■ The UPS will shut down when a HI RS-232 level, sustained for 4.5 s, is applied to Pin
1. The UPS responds to this signal, following a delay , only during mains failures (load is
operating from the UPS’s internal power source).
■ An unregulated +24 Vdc appears at Pin 8 of the interface port whenever the UPS is
powered. The supply is limited to 40 mAdc maximum.

7.2 Battery replacement check
Y ou can expect to r eceive 3 to 6 years of service life fr om the UPS's Battery packs when
installed in a cool, dry location. Battery life is shortened when operated in an environment where the ambient temperature is normally above 30°C (86°F).
The UPS automatically performs a battery test upon start up and, if left operating, every
14 days thereafter. This test actually loads the battery for a brief time and will detect a
weak battery before it is put into service during a power failure. If the battery is too weak
to support the load during this test, the UPS will instantly return to on-line operation. The
UPS will illuminate the Replace Battery indicator when it is detected that the battery
packs can no longer sustain sufficient charge. This means that the UPS would be unable
to provide power for longer than half the normal interval (see section 9.9) during an
extended utility failure.
If the UPS illuminates the Replace Battery indicator , perform the following procedur es
to be sure that the batteries need replacing.
7.2.1 Use the UPS's Line voltage bar graph to check that the utility voltage is within a
normal range. The UPS will charge the batteries at a slower rate when operated from very
low input voltages. Where low line voltages and frequent disturbances are common, set
the UPS's Option switch 1 to the on ( I ) position - see section 5.0.
7.2.2 Allow the UPS to charge the batteries for at least 16 hours following an extended
utility failure.
7.2.3 Recheck the UPS's batteries by conducting a battery test. Press the I/T est button to
initiate the battery test.
7.2.4 If the Replace Battery indicator does not illuminate following the battery test, the
batteries do not require replacement. Extended storage without recharge, or successive
power outages can cause false indications.

7.3 Obtaining Service
The troubleshooting chart in section 7.1 covers most of the difficulties that a user may
encounter under conditions other than a failure of the UPS itself. For problems not
covered in the chart, the procedures outlined below should be followed.
If your UPS should require service:
■ See the troubleshooting chart and eliminate the obvious. A tripped UPS circuit
breaker is the most common problem encountered and is user resettable once excessive loads are unplugged from the UPS.
■ If the circuit breaker is OK, note your UPS model, serial number and date of purchase.
Contact the Customer Service Department at the phone number given on the cover of this
booklet.
■ Be prepar ed to provide a description of the problem. A technician will help you solve
the problem over the phone if possible, or will give you a Return Material Authorization
Number (RMA#).
■ If the UPS is within the warranty period, repairs will be performed free of charge. If
it is not within the warranty period, there will be a charge for repair.
■ Pack the UPS in its original packaging. If you no longer have the original shipping
materials, ask the technician about obtaining a new set. It is very important that you pack the
UPS properly to avoid damage in transit. Never use styrofoam beads for packaging the
UPS because it will settle through beads and become damaged. Damages sustained in
transit are not covered under warranty. Enclose a letter in the package with your name,
RMA#, address, copy of sales receipt, description of trouble, phone number and check (if
necessary).
■ Mark your RMA# on the outside of the package. The factory cannot accept any package
without this marking.
■ Return your UPS via insured, prepaid carrier to the address on the rear of this booklet.

8.0 Storing the UPS
8.1 Storage conditions
The UPS should be covered and stored upright in a cool dry location. The UPS should be
stored with its Battery packs in a fully charged state. That is, the indicated battery
capacity should be 100% before the UPS is switched off for storage. Once charged,
disconnect the Battery packs from each other and from the UPS.
8.2 Extended storage
T o achieve expected run time following extended storage, the UPS should be allowed to
refresh its batteries every 6 months in environments where the ambient temperature is
-15°C to +30°C (5°F to 86°F). For extended storage in environments where the ambient
temperature is +30°C to +45°C (86°F to 113°F), the UPS should be allowed to ref resh its
batteries every 3 months.

Note: Run times are typical at 25°C (77°F). Add the values given in the "10 plus adder" column to the values given in
the "10" column for each Battery pack installed above a total of 10. Example: When 13 Battery packs are installed, the
recharge time is typically less than 24 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 = 31.2 hrs. The run time for this system at full load is typically
greater than 4.0 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 5.5 hrs.

Limited Warranty
American Power Conversion (APC) warrants its products to be free from defects in materials
and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase. Its obligation under this
warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its own sole option, any such defective
products. To obtain service under warranty you must obtain a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number from APC or an APC service center. Products must be returned to APC
or an APC service center with transportation charges prepaid and must be accompanied by a
brief description of the problem encountered and proof of date and place of purchase. This
warranty does not apply to equipment which has been damaged by accident, negligence, or
mis-application or has been altered or modified in any way. This warranty applies only to the
original purchaser who must have properly registered the product within 10 days of purchase.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, AMERICAN POWER CONVERSION MAKES NO WAR-
RANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not permit limitation or
exclusion of implied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not
apply to the purchaser.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL APC BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. Specifically, APC is not liable for any costs, such as lost profits or revenue, loss of
equipment, loss of use of equipment, loss of software, loss of data, costs of substitutes, claims
by third parties, or otherwise. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
Life support policy
As a general policy, American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use of any
of its products in life support applications where failure or malfunction of the APC product can
be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its
safety or effectiveness. APC does not recommend the use of any of its products in direct patient
care. APC will not knowingly sell its products for use in such applications unless it receives in
writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the risks of injury or damage have been
minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of American Power
Conversion is adequately protected under the circumstances.
Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen analyzers, nerve
stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), autotransfusion
devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers,
hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators
for both adults and infants, anesthesia ventilators, and infusion pumps as well as any other
devices designated as “critical” by the U.S. FDA.
Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options on many APC
UPS systems. APC does not claim that units with this modification are certified or listed as
Hospital Grade by APC or any other organization. Therefore these units do not meet the
requirements for use in direct patient care.
