Safety and General Information

Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damage.

Read the Safety Guide supplied with this unit before installing the UPS.

• This unit is designed for low power devices less than 75 Watts. When the UPS is on battery, the unit will shut down automatically to protect itself once the load on the UPS is greater than 75Watts.

• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.

• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or humidity.

• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.

• The battery typically lasts for three to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality AC power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.

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

 Press the battery compartment cover release tabs located on the rear side of the unit. Slide the battery cover off.

Connect Equipment

Battery Backup Outlets

Battery backup outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the Back-UPS is turned on and connected to AC power.

Battery backup outlets receive power from the Back-UPS for a limited period of time when a power outage, or brownout condition occurs.

Battery backup outlets provide protection from power surges or spikes.

Connect a broadband modem and wireless router to the outlets. Voice over IP (VOIP) phones (if applicable) should also be plugged into battery backup outlets.

To maximize runtime in the event of a power outage only connect networking equipment to battery backup outlets.

This UPS is designed to sustain low power devices for extended periods of time. When the UPS is on battery, the unit will shut down automatically if the load on the UPS exceeds 75Watts. Low power devices include modems, routers, USB chargers (5W and 10W), VOIP and cordless phones.

Turn On the Back-UPS

Press the POWER ON button located on the top 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 16 hours while connected to AC power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the Back-UPS is switched on or off and is connected to AC power. Do not expect full battery run capability during the initial charge time.

connected to the battery terminal.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment (optional)

The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back-UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.

1. Connect the Back-UPS to a wall outlet. The Back-UPS will be in Standby mode, no indicators will be illuminated.

2. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The OnLine LED will illuminate alternately green-red, to indicate that the Back-UPS is in Program mode.

3. The Power On/Replace Battery LED will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.

4. To select LOW sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes green.

5. To select MEDIUM sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes red.

6. To select HIGH sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes amber.

7. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish.

Program mode is no longer active.

The Back-UPS is operating normally on battery power. At this point the user should save all open files, and shutdown the computer. When AC power is restored the battery will recharge.

The Back-UPS battery is near a total discharge state. At this point the user should save all open files, and shutdown the computer. When AC power is restored the battery will recharge.

Leave the Back-UPS connected to AC power for 16 hours while the battery charges to full capacity. As a battery ages, the runtime capability decreases. Contact APC by Schneider Electric at the Web site www.apc.com, to order replacement batteries.
