Thank you for purchasing APC’s Home Appliance & Lighting UPS. Please fill out the enclosed Warranty Registration Card, or register
your purchase on-line at: www.apc.com/support.
Overview
APC’s Home UPS (Figure 1) is designed for years of trouble-free use. The Home UPS is a squarewave back-up power supply intended to
serve house loads. It is rated for 600 VA/360W at 230 Vac, 50-Hz, and operates on a wide range of input voltages (100 - 270V). If the input
voltage goes out of range (less than 100V or more than 270V), the utility is isolated and the UPS supplies power to the load from an
externally connected battery (may be purchased from APC, or from the supplier of your choice). The UPS can serve inductive loads
(fluorescent lamps, ceiling and table fans), resistive loads (incandescent lamps), and switched mode power supply (SMPS) loads
(television).

and return the unit to the factory. If there are no apparent signs of damage to the shipping container, carefully open the container,
and remove the packing materials (do not discard).
Warning: The Home UPS weighs 7 kg. Please handle carefully.
!
Remove the item from the shipping container and Inspect for: dents, scratches, warpage of the top cover, or other signs of damage.
If unit is damaged, please notify the factory and obtain a Return Material Authorization number and return the unit as/if instructed.

Section 3. Installation
Home UPS Placement
Note: Once the unit has been completely installed, it is not desirable to move it.
Location selection - Ensure the area where the unit is to be placed is not in direct sunlight (surfaces may become hot).
Further ensure the unit is placed in a dry area away from sources of liquids, and that the vents on each side have at least 15 cm
(6 inches) of unobstructed clearance.
Battery Connection
Connect the red battery terminal lead (protrudes from the lid) to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and connect the black
battery terminal lead (protrudes from the lid) to the negative (-) terminal.
Install Home UPS
Caution: Installation of the Home UPS must be performed by a licensed and qualified
electrician. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage, and may also void the
Warranty.
Figure 2 shows a typical home wiring scenario after installation of the Home UPS Assembly wiring.
Note: The Home UPS can serve inductive loads (fluorescent lamps, ceiling and table
fans), resistive loads (incandescent lamps), and SMPS loads (television).
Caution: Connecting the Home UPS to a branch circuit that exceeds 16 amps may result
in equipment damage.
Note: Home wiring to power the desired loads should be routed and connected to a single
branch circuit providing a maximum of 16 amps to the circuit, Wiring must be in
accordance with local electric codes and standards. Connected loads must not exceed 360
watts when the Home UPS is On Battery.

Home UPS Controls - Controls provided on the Home UPS consist of the holiday mode switch marked AWAY/HOME, and the
Test/Mute switch, as well as a rear panel Push to Reset circuit breaker, and are defined in the following:
AWAY/HOME - (also known as the holiday mode switch) - In the HOME position, this two-position rocker switch (Figure 4) sets
the Home UPS so that it will switch to battery output when there is a utility power outage.
In the AWAY position, the Home UPS goes into standby mode and will not switch to battery power in the event of a power outage.
This is to conserve the batteries. However, in this position, the Home UPS will charge the batteries until a utility power failure
occurs.
TEST/MUTE - In TEST mode, when ON MAINS LED is lit, on pressing this push button, the unit will do self test to determine
the state of the system. During On Battery self test it will also show the load status which can be used to find out the load capacity.
In the MUTE position (push in for 5 seconds), this push button switch silences the low battery buzzer.
Circuit Breaker Switch (Rear Panel) - When in ON MAINS mode, if the system draws more than 10A, circuit breaker will trip.
To reset the circuit breaker switch, push the switch fully inward.
Home UPS Indicators - The Home UPS provides light emitting diode (LED) indicators (Figure 4) to show the operational
condition of the Home UPS and batteries. Indicators consist of Inverter Load Status (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and OVER
LOAD). Other indicators consist of: INVERTER DISABLE, ON MAINS, ON BATTERY, and FAULT). Using Table 1,
determine the condition of the Home UPS and battery.
Cold Boot - To turn on the Home UPS on Battery Mode, press the Test-Mute button and hold it for 2-3 seconds.

NOTE: In the case of a sustained overload, the Home UPS will be turned off automatically after
one minute, and will wait in the fault state for a minute. After that, it will restart again. If the
overload still persists, the Home UPS will be turned off again after one minute, and will wait in
fault state for one minute and restart again. In the same way, it will try for three restarts. If the
overload still persists, it will stay in fault state permanently until the unit is restarted with push
button. If the time interval between two consecutive overloads is more than 5 minutes, then the latest
overload is considered as a fresh overload and three restart cycle will begin again.

Home UPS may have an internal failure. If this
happens, the unit can be disconnected from the mains
by completion of a Manual Bypass (see Manual
Bypass).
Turn off some loads connected to the Home UPS
until the OVER LOAD LED is no longer lit
Manual Bypass - In the event of Home UPS failure or dead battery condition, the Home UPS can be disconnected from the mains
and power restored to the circuit by completing a Manual Bypass (Figure 6) of the Home UPS, as follows:
Remove the Wiring Management Kit from the Home UPS. Disconnect all wires connected at the Home UPS rear panel. Connect
the wire from the Input socket to the wire from the Output socket.
