SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This section contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.

• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.

• Connect the Back-UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge
protectors or extension cords.

• Servicing of batteries should be performed by Schneider Electric IT (SEIT)
Customer Support only.

• When grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the
utility power outlet before installing or connecting to other equipment.
Reconnect the power cord only after all connections are made.

CAUTION

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

• Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin
and eyes. It may be toxic.

• Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist
watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause
severe burns.

Connect the Battery

Connect the battery connector prior to using the
UPS. Pull the battery connector handle down.
Then push the connector into the UPS.

Do not expect full battery runtime capability
during the initial charge period.

Back-UPS BC750-RS2

There are no serviceable parts in the Back-UPS. Do not attempt to open or
repair the Back-UPS as this will void the warranty. The battery in this unit is
not replaceable. Contact APC by Schneider Electric to order a new Back-UPS.
Refer to the contact information at the end of this manual.

Turn On the Back-UPS

Press the Power ON button located on the front panel of the Back-UPS. The
Power On/Replace Battery LED will illuminate and a single short beep will be
audible to indicate that the Back-UPS is providing protection for connected
equipment.

The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 10 hours while connected
to utility power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the Back-UPS is
turned on or off and is connected to utility power. Do not expect full battery
runtime capability during the initial charge period.

PowerChute™ Personal Edition Software

Overview

PowerChute Personal Edition Software allows you to use your computer to
access additional power protection 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 history, and more.

Available 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.

Compatibility

PowerChute is compatible with Windows operating systems only. For a
detailed list of supported operating systems, go to www.apc.com, select
Software & Firmware.

For Mac operating systems, we recommend using the native shutdown

application (within System Preferences) which recognizes your battery backup
and allows you to configure shutdown of your system during power outages.
To access this application, connect a USB cable from the Back-UPS DATA
PORT (POWERCHUTE PORT) to a USB port on your computer, and see the
documentation provided with your computer.

Installation

To install PowerChute Personal Edition (PCPE) software, connect a USB cable
to the data port on the UPS and the other end to a computer with access to the
web.

On the computer, go to www.apc.com/tools/download. Select “Software

Upgrades - PowerChute Personal Edition” in the “Filter by Software/
Firmware” drop down menu. Select the appropriate operating system.

Follow directions to download the software.

Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Settings

Voltage regulation

The Back-UPS will switch to battery power if the AC input voltage level
becomes too low or too high, or if the AC power is experiencing voltage
fluctuations.

No-load shutdown

The UPS will shut down to conserve energy if while operating on battery
power the UPS detects that connected equipment is using less than 15 W of
energy for more than 15 minutes.

Disable this feature if low power consuming equipment like ADSL-modem or
wi-fi router is connected to the Back-UPS.

No-load shutdown can be enabled or disabled through Program mode
described below.

Voltage sensitivity adjustment

If the Back-UPS switches to battery power too frequently or too infrequently,
adjust the transfer voltage and sensitivity settings:

1.

Verify that the Back-UPS battery is connected. Connect the Back-UPS to a wall

outlet. The Back-UPS should be turned off.

2. Press and hold the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED continuously flashes

green. Release the button. The Back-UPS is now in Program mode.

3. The LED will flash once, twice, or three times per second, and emit audible

beeps to indicate the current sensitivity level. The Back-UPS will beep to
indicate that No-load Shutdown is enabled. Refer to the table for an explanation
of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.

4. Press the POWER ON/OFF button within two seconds to change the setting.

Continue pressing the button until the desired setting is reached. If the button is
not pressed within five seconds, the Back-UPS will exit the Program Mode.

5. To select LOW sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED

flashes green once per second.

6. To select MEDIUM sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED

flashes green two times per second.

7. To select HIGH sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED

flashes green three times per second.

8. To exit Program mode wait for five seconds, the LED will extinguish. Program

mode is no longer active.

Overload Alarm - The Back-UPS draws more voltage than
the utility voltage rating allows. Disconnect
non-essential equipment.

Overload Shutdown - While operating on utility power the
Back-UPS experiences an overload condition.
Disconnect non-essential equipment, one device at a time until
the overload condition has been corrected.
The Back-UPS will shutdown if the overload condition is not
corrected.

On Battery - The Back-UPS is supplying battery power to the
battery backup outlet.

Low Battery Indicator - The Back-UPS is supplying battery
power to the battery backup outlet and the battery is near a total
discharge state.
The Back-UPS has 2 minutes of runtime remaining before
shutdown.

Bad Battery Indicator - The battery needs to be charged, or is
at the end of its service life.
The battery in this unit is not replaceable. Contact Schneider
Electric IT (SEIT).

Charger Indicator - The Back-UPS has detected an internal
error, and continues to provide power to the connected
equipment. Contact SEIT Technical Support.

On Battery Overload - While operating on battery power the
connected equipment draws more voltage than the battery
capacity can provide.
Disconnect non-essential equipment, one device at a time until
the overload condition has been corrected.
If the problem persists, contact SEIT Technical Support.

Internal Charger Error Detected - The Back-UPS detects an
internal error and no longer provides power to connected
equipment. Contact SEIT Technical Support.

Temperature Error Detected - The Back-UPS has overheated
and has shut down.

Low Battery Shutdown - During On Battery operation the
battery is at a complete discharge state and the
Back-UPS stops providing output power. (Once utility power is
restored the Back-UPS will return to normal operation.)
