CHECK BUILDING WIRING

FAULT INDICATOR

If the rear panel Building Wiring Fault (red) indicator is lit, a potential shock hazard exists due to one of the following conditions:

• Open or high resistance ground

• Hot or neutral polarity reversed

• Overloaded neutral circuit

Improper building wiring should be corrected by a qualified electrician. Do not use the Back-UPS until the condition that caused the fault is corrected.

Note: Improper building wiring will not prevent the

Back-UPS from operating, but it will limit its protection capability.

STATUS INDICATORS AND ALARMS

There are four status indicators (lights) on the front panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On Battery, Overload, and Replace Battery).

On Line

On Line (green) - is lit whenever utility power is

powering the Battery Backup outlets.

SWITCH ON THE BACK-UPS

Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full eight (8) hours prior to use.

Press the front panel Power ON/OFF switch and observe that the following events occur after pressing and releasing the switch:

• The green On Line indicator flashes.

• The yellow On Battery indicator lights while a Self-Test is being performed.

On Battery (yellow) - is lit whenever the battery of

the Back-UPS is powering equipment connected to the Battery Backup Outlets.

Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this alarm is sounded whenever the Back-UPS is running On Battery. Consider saving work in progress.

Continuous Beeping - this alarm is sounded whenever a low battery condition is reached. Battery run-time is very low. Promptly save any work in progress and exit all open applications. Shutdown the operating system, computer and the Back-UPS.

• When Self-Test has successfully completed, only the green On Line indicator will be lit.

• If the battery cartridges are not connected (see Step 3 above), the green On Line indicator and red Replace Battery indicators will light. The Back-UPS will also emit a chirping sound.

Overload (red) - is lit whenever power demand has

exceeded the capacity of the Back-UPS.

Continuous Tone - this alarm is sounded whenever the Battery Backup outlets are overloaded.

Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will stick out if an overload condition forces the BackUPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the button sticks out, disconnect non-essential equipment. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing the button inward.

Replace Battery (red) - is lit whenever the battery is

near the end of its useful life, or if the battery is not connected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its useful life has insufficient run-time and should be replaced.

Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours - this alarm is sounded whenever the battery has failed the automatic diagnostic test.

ORDER REPLACEMENT BATTERY CARTRIDGE

The battery cartridge in the Back-UPS typically lasts 3-6 years, shorter if subjected to frequent outages or elevated temperatures. Note: Batteries in the battery pack are not user-replaceable. The battery cartridge and battery pack can be ordered online at www.apc.com. For the Back-UPS, order part number RBC33; for the battery pack order BR24BP. Please recycle spent battery cartridges.

TRANSFER VOLTAGE AND SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

In situations where the Back-UPS or connected equipment appears too sensitive to input voltage, it may be necessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a simple task requiring use of the front panel pushbutton. To adjust the transfer voltage, proceed as follows:

1. Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in a Standby Mode (no indicators lit).

2. Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the Back-UPS will flash to acknowledge going into Programming Mode.

3. The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Lower Transfer Voltage, as shown in the following table.

Indicators Lit Lower Transfer Voltage

1 78 Vac

2 83 Vac

3 88 Vac

4. To select 78 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 1 indicator

is flashing.

5. To select 83 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 2

indicators are flashing.

6. To select 88 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 3

indicators are flashing.

7. Once in Programming Mode, if the pushbutton is not pressed within 5 seconds, the

Back-UPS will exit Programming Mode; all indicators will extinguish.

APC will ship the replacement unit once the defective unit has been received by the repair department, or cross-ship upon the receipt of a valid credit card number. The customer pays for shipping the unit to APC. APC pays ground freight transportation costs to ship the replacement unit to the customer.
