Operational Features

Install PowerChute™ Software

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.

Automatic Voltage Regulation

Automatic Voltage Regulation boosts/trims the AC voltage when it drops/exceeds safe levels. This allows the equipment plugged into the unit to operate during low/high voltage conditions, conserving the battery power in the event of a power cut.

The Back-UPS will switch to battery power if the input voltage level becomes too low/high for the Automatic Voltage Regulation to compensate, or if the AC power is distorted.

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

1 . Ensure the Back-UPS is off. Plug it into AC power. 2 . Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED repeatedly flashes. The unit is now in Program Mode. 3 . Release the button. The LED will indicate the current setting by flashing once, twice, or three times per

second, and emitting audible beeps.

4 . If the button is not pressed within five seconds, the Back-UPS will exit the Program Mode.

No-load Shutdown

If the UPS is operating on battery power and detects that the connected equipment is using less than 15 W of energy for more than 15 minutes, it will shut down to conserve energy.

When the UPS is reconnected to AC power, the UPS will automatically switch on.

Safety and General Information

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

Read the following reminders before installing the UPS.

User Guide

Status Indicators

• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.

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

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

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

• When replacing battery the UPS must be OFF, and its AC inlet unplugged.

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

• Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte that is toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.

• To avoid harmful injury due to energy hazard, remove wrist watches and jewelry such as rings when replacing the batteries. Use tools with insulated handles.

• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.
