ELF-TEST
Auto­matic
Self­Test
The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every two weeks thereafter (by default). Refer to the low, for details on changing the default interval.
Automatic self-test eases maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic manual self-tests. During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the con­nected equipment on battery. If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to online operation. If the UPS fails the self-test, the UPS lights the
and immediately returns to online operation. The connected equipment is not affected by a failed test. To confirm a self-test, failure, recharge the battery for 24 hours and perform another self-test. If it fails, the battery must be re­placed.

UTILITY POWER
During normal operation, the UPS monitors the utility power and delivers power to the connected equipment. If your system is experiencing excessive periods of high or low voltage, have a certified electrician check your facility for electrical problems. If the problem continues, contact the utility company for further assistance.
Online
Utility
Voltage
266 248 229 210 192
The online indicator illuminates when the UPS is drawing utility power and performing double-conversion to supply clean power to the connected equipment.
The UPS has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage. Plug the UPS into the normal utility power.
Press and hold the
button to view the utility voltage bar graph display. After a few seconds the five-LED display on the right of the front panel shows the utility input volt­age. Refer to the figure at left for the voltage reading (values are not listed on the UPS).
The UPS starts a self-test as part of this procedure. The self-test does not affect the volt­age display.
The display indicates the voltage is between the displayed value on the list and the next higher value. For example, with three LEDs lit, the input voltage is between 229 and 248 VAC.
If no LEDs are lit and the UPS is plugged into a working AC power outlet, the line volt­age is extremely low.
If all five LEDs are lit, the line voltage is extremely high and should be checked by an electrician.
Bypass
This LED illuminates to indicate the UPS is in Bypass mode. Battery backup is not available while in this mode. Utility power is being sent directly to connected loads. The UPS transfers to this mode due to a command received via the computer interface port or after a UPS internal fault.
Fault
This LED illuminates to indicate the UPS has detected an internal fault. See the Trou­bleshooting section for details.
ATTERY POWER
B
If the utility power fails, the UPS can provide power to the connected equipment from the batteries for a finite period. The UPS sounds an alarm—four beeps every 30 seconds—while operating on battery. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to online operation.
On
Battery
When the On Battery indicator is lit the UPS is supplying power to the connected equipment from its batteries.
5 990-1137A, 01/03
Battery Charge
The five-LED display on the right of the front panel shows the present charge of the UPS battery as a percentage of the battery capacity. When all five LEDs are lit, the battery is fully charged. The LEDs extinguish, from top to bottom, as the battery capacity diminishes. Refer to the figure at left for the battery capacity threshold (values are not listed on the UPS).
As a low battery warning, any LEDs illuminated (for the given capacity) flash and the UPS beeps continuously. The low battery warning default setting can be changed in terminal mode or through the optional PowerChute software. Refer to User Configurable Items, below. To see the runtime in minutes for your UPS model refer to the Runtime Table at the APC website.
Over-
load
The UPS emits a sustained alarm tone and this LED illuminates when an overload condition occurs (that is, when the connected equipment exceeds the specified “maximum load” as defined in the specifications at the APC web site).
During an overload, the UPS may transfer to Bypass mode; after an overload situation is resolved, the UPS will transfer back to online mode. Disconnect non­essential equipment from the UPS to eliminate an overload.
Replace
Battery
Failure of a battery self-test causes the UPS to emit short beeps for one minute and the Replace Battery LED illuminates. The LED flashing indicates the battery is disconnected. The UPS repeats the alarm every five hours. Check that the bat­tery pack is connected properly. If it is, perform the self-test procedure after the battery has charged for 24 hours to confirm the need to replace the battery. The alarm stops if the battery passes the self-test.
HUTDOWN MODE
S
In shutdown mode, the UPS stops supplying power to the connected equipment, waiting for the re­turn of utility power. If there is no utility power present, external devices (such as servers) connected via the computer interface port or the accessory slot can command the UPS to shut down. This nor­mally is done to preserve battery capacity after the shutdown of protected servers. The UPS scrolls the front panel indicators sequentially in shutdown mode.

The UPS features a transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS) screw for connecting the ground lead on surge suppression devices such as telephone and network line protectors.
External battery packs can be obtained to connect to your UPS and give longer runtime during power outages. If used, unscrew the protective plate from in front of the connector port and insert the cable supplied with the bat­tery pack into the connector port. Battery Packs can be daisy chained to­gether to achieve desired run time.
To connect optional external battery pack(s) to the UPS, refer to the
Smart-
UPS RT Battery Pack User’s Manual for instructions.
If the plunger on the circuit breaker pops out, reduce the load on the UPS by unplugging equipment and press the plunger in.
ON BATTERY OPERATION
The UPS switches to battery operation automatically and an internal alarm sounds (periodic beeps) if the utility power fails. Press the ON button (front panel) to silence the UPS alarm until low battery (for the current outage only). You can change the audible indicator if you are using PowerChute software. If the utility power does not return, the UPS continues to supply power to the connected equipment until exhausted. The UPS will begin to beep continuously approximately two minutes before final low battery shutdown by default. If you are using a computer, you must manually save your files and power down before the UPS turns off, unless you are using PowerChute interface software that provides automatic, unattended shutdown.
UPS battery life differs based on usage and environment. It is recommended that the battery pack be changed once every three years.
