Product Description
The APC™ by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS™ C is a high performance uninterruptible power supply
(UPS). The UPS provides protection for electronic equipment from AC power blackouts, brownouts,
sags, and surges, small AC power fluctuations and large disturbances. The UPS also provides battery

discharged.
This user manual is available on the enclosed Documentation CD and on the APC by Schneider Electric
Web site, www.apc.com.
