PowerChute® Person al Edition Software
Overview
PowerChute Personal Edition Softwa re allows you to use your computer to access additional power pro tection and
management features of the Back-UPS.
Using PowerChute, you can:
• Preserve work in progress during a power outage by putting your computer into Hibernate mode. When the power
returns, the computer will appear exactly as it did before the power outage.
• Configure the Back-UPS management features, such as power-saving outlets, shutdown parameters, audible alarms, and
more.
• Monitor and view the status of the Back-UPS, including the estimated runtime, power consumption, power event hist ory,
and more.
A vailable features will vary by Back-UPS model and operating system.
If you choose not to install PowerChute, the Back-UPS will still provide backup power and power protection to
connected equipment. However, you will only be able to configure a limited number of features using the display
interface.

Protection outlets will supply power to connected equipment. During a power outage or other utility problems, only
the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the Back-UPS.

power to the Surge Protectio n Only outlets. These outlets provide full tim e protection from surges even if the
Back-UPS is switched off.
Master and Controlled outlets
To conserve electricity, when the device connected to Master Outlet goes into Sleep or Standby mode, or turns off,
the Controlled by Master device(s) will shut down as well, saving electricity.
Connect a master device, such as a desktop computer or audio/visual receiver to the Master outlet. Connect
peripheral devices such as a printer, speakers, or a scanne r to the Controlled by Master outlets.
