TURN the Back-UPS ES over and

slide the battery compartment cover off of the battery housing.

Connect Equipment

Battery Backup Surge Protection

These outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS ES is switched ON. During a power outage or other utility problems (brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will be powered for a limited time by the Back-UPS ES. Plug your computer, monitor, and two other data-sensitive devices (external disk or tape drive) into these outlets.

LIFT the battery out of the compartment and connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. Ensure the batteries are installed as shown below.

Place the Back-UPS ES to avoid:

- Direct sunlight

- Excessive heat

- Excessive humidity or contact with fluids

Plug the Back-UPS ES power cord directly into a wall outlet; not a surge protector or power strip. The wall outlet should be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.

Connect Modem / Phone / DSL / Fax / 10/100 Base- T/HPNA to Surge Protection.

The Back-UPS protects a single line (2-wire) phone (including Digital Subscriber line - DSL), Home Phoneline Networking Association (HPNA) type equipment, modem, 10/100. Base-T Ethernet, or fax machines from surges when connected through the UPS as shown in the drawing below.

Surge Protection Only

These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS ES is switched OFF. Plug your printer, fax machine, scanner, or other peripherals that do not need battery power into these outlets.

Status Indicators

Note: Telephone Cable OR Network Cable should be connected to Surge Protection ports. Do not connect the UPS surge protection ports to both Telephone and Network System cables at the same time.

Connect Computer Cable (This is applicable for 550/700 only)

The supplied cable and software provide automatic file saving and shutdown of the operating system in the case of a sustained power outage.

Connect the cable to the Data Port of the Back-UPS ES. Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your computer. The software will automatically find the USB Port of your computer.

The standard warranty is 2 years from the date of purchase. APC’s standard procedure is to replace the original unit with a factory reconditioned unit. Customers who must have the original unit back due to assigned asset tags and set depreciation schedules must declare such a need at first contact with APC Technical Support. APC will ship the replacement unit once the defective unit is received by the repair department or cross-ship upon the provision of a valid credit card number. The customer pays for shipping to APC, and APC pays ground freight transportation costs back to the customer.

Please DO NOT RETURN Back-UPS ES to the place of purchase under any circumstances.

1. Consult the Troubleshooting section to eliminate common problems.

2. Verify the battery is connected (see Connect Battery) and that the Circuit Breaker is not tripped (see Troubleshooting section).

If you still have problems or questions, please contact APC via the internet or at one of the phone numbers listed below.

3. Before contacting APC, please be sure to record the date purchased, UPS model, and serial number (on bottom of unit).

4. Be prepared to troubleshoot the problem over the telephone with a Technical Support Representative. If this is not successful, the representative will issue a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA#) and a shipping address.

5. Pack the unit in its original packaging. If the original packaging is not available, ask APC Technical Support about obtaining a new set. Pack the unit properly to avoid damage in transit. Never use foam beads for packaging. Damage sustained in transit is not covered under warranty (insuring the package for full value is recommended).

6. Write the RMA# on the outside of the package.

7. Return the unit by insured carrier to the address given to you by APC Technical Support.

4. Mount the UPS by positioning the key-hole slots over the mounting fasteners heads. For vertical mounting, slide the UPS down into place. For horizontal mounting , Turn it slightly counterclockwise until it is securly in place.

3. Install the mounting fasteners at the marked locations. Leave the head of both fasteners 8 mm ( 5/16) out from the face of the wall. The fasteners must be able to support 6.8 Kg.

2. Use thumbtacks or tape to hold this page in place against the wall. Use a sharp nail or pin to puncture the center of each template circle to mark the wall.

1. Hold this page against the wall in the desired mounting location.

Problem

Solution

Battery is disconnected or utility power is not available at the wall outlet.

Surge Protection Only outlets have been overloaded.

Utility power not available at the wall outlet.

Equipment is connected to the Surge Protection Only outlets.

The Back-UPS ES is overloaded.

PowerChute Personal Edition software has performed a shutdown due to a power failure.

The Back-UPS ES has exhausted its available battery power.

Connected equipment does not accept the stepapproximated sine waveform of the Back-UPS ES.

The Back-UPS ES may require service.

The Back-UPS ES is using battery.

Battery capacity is low (about 2 minutes of use remaining).

The battery is not fully charged. Battery is near the end of useful life.

Back-UPS ES will not turn on.

No power available at the Surge Protection Only outlets.

Connected equipment loses power.

The Power On indicator is lit and the BackUPS ES is beeping four times every 30 seconds.

The Power On indicator flashes once per second and the Back-UPS ES beeps once per second at the same time.

Inadequate runtime.

Connect the battery (see Connect Battery) and ensure power is available at the wall outlet.

Reduce the amount of equipment plugged into Surge Protection Only outlets.

Ensure the fuse or circuit breaker for the outlet is not tripped, and that the wall switch controlling the outlet (if any) is in the ON position.

Ensure the equipment you want to stay powered during a power failure is plugged into the Battery Backup/Surge Protection outlets and NOT the Surge Protection Only outlets.

Make sure the equipment plugged into the Battery Backup/Surge Protection outlets of the unit are not overloading the capacity of the unit. Try removing some of the equipment and see if the problem continues.

The Back-UPS ES is operating normally.

The Back-UPS ES can only operate on battery power for a limited amount of time. The unit will eventually turn off when the available battery power has been used. Allow the unit to recharge for 16 hours before continuing use of the unit.

The output waveform is designed for computers and computer-related equipment. It is not designed for use with motor-type equipment.

Contact APC Technical Support for further troubleshooting.

The Back-UPS ES is operating normally and using battery power. Once On Battery, you should save your current work, power down your equipment, and turn the unit OFF . Once normal power is restored, you may turn the unit back ON and power your equipment.

The Back-UPS ES is about to shut off due to a low battery charge condition! When the unit beeps once every second, the battery has about 2 minutes of power remaining. Immediately power down your computer and turn the unit OFF. When normal power returns, the unit will recharge the battery.

Allow the unit to charge by leaving it plugged into the wall for at least 16 hours. As a battery ages, the amount of runtime available will decrease. You can replace

the battery by ordering one at www.apc.com. Batteries also age prematurely if the Back-UPS ES is placed near excessive heat.
