Install PowerChute™ Personal Edition Software
bu484a
bu485a
Use PowerChute Personal Edition software to configure the UPS settings. During a
power outage, PowerChute will save any open files on your computer and shut it down.
When power is restored, it will restart the computer.
Note: PowerChute is only compatible with a Windows operating system. If you are
using Mac OSX, use the native shutdown feature to protect your system. See the
documentation provided with your computer.
Installation
Use the cable supplied with the Back-UPS to connect the data port on the Back-UPS to
the USB port on your computer. On the computer, go to www.apc.com Search for
“PowerChute Personal Edition” then click on “View Details” to download the latest
version of PCPE software. Click the download link and select Software product. Select
the appropriate operating system. Follow directions to download the software.
Connect the Equipment
Battery backup and surge protected outlets
When the Back-UPS is receiving input power, the Battery Backup with Surge Protection
outlets will supply power to connected equipment. During a power outage or other AC
problems, the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the BackUPS.
Connect equipment such as printers, fax machines, scanners, or other peripherals that do
not need battery backup power to the Surge Protection Only outlets. These outlets
provide full-time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS is switched OFF.

Battery Replacement
CAUTION
RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE
• Replace the battery at least every 5 years.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace battery at the end of its service life.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the
equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over−temperature
condition, or UPS internal over−temperature, or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage.
Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not operate
the UPS until the batteries have been replaced.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury and
equipment damage.
The battery typically lasts for 3 to 5 years, a shorter period if subjected to frequent
outages or elevated temperatures. Battery replacement parts for Back-UPS BR650MI is
APCRBC110, for BR900MI is APCRBC164, for BR1300MI is APCRBC165, and for
BR1600MI is APCRBC166. Delaying the replacement of parts may corrode the
batteries in the cartridge. Recycle spent battery cartridges.
Warranty
The standard warranty is three (3) years from the date of purchase, valid in European
Community. For all other regions, the standard warranty is two (2) years from the date of
purchase. Schneider Electric IT (SEIT) standard procedure is to replace the original unit
with a factory reconditioned unit. Customers who must have the original unit back due to
the assignment of asset tags and set depreciation schedules must declare such a need at
first contact with an SEIT Technical Support representative. SEIT will ship the
replacement unit once the defective unit has been received by the repair department, or
cross-ship upon the receipt of a valid credit card number. The customer pays for shipping
