Connect Equipment

Battery Back up + Surge Prot ec t io n Out lets

Battery backup outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the

Back-UPS is turned on and connected to utility 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 surg es or spikes.

Connect a computer, monitor and other peripheral devices to the outlets.

Surge Protection Outlets

Surge protection outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the

Back-UPS is connected to utility power, and is switched on or off.

Surge protection outlets provide protection from power surges or spikes.

Connect a printer, scanner or other peripheral devices that do not need to remain on

during power outages, or utility problems to the surge protection outlets.

Connect Network

The Back-UPS protects equipment connected to a 10/100 Base-T ethernet, from

power surges when connected through the Back-UPS coaxial connectors.

PowerChute® Personal Edition Software

Overview

Use PowerChute Personal Edition software to configure the UPS settings.

Protect your computer and other equipment during a power outage. During a power

outage, PowerChute will save any open files on your computer and safely shut it

down. When power is restored, it will restart the computer.

Configure the UPS to use features such as power-saving outlets, shutdown

configuration, and alarms.

Monitor the UPS for power usage and power events.

Note: PowerChute is only compatible with a Windows operating system. If you are

using a Mac OSX, use the native shutdown feature to protect your system. See the

documentation provided with your computer.

Installation

Use a USB cable t o connect the Data p ort on the rear panel of the UPS to the USB port

on your computer.

If the Back-UPS came with a PowerChute CD, insert the CD into your computer and

follow the on-screen instructi ons

If the Back-UPS did not come with a PowerChute CD, go to www.apc.com and

download the software free of charge.

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 illumin ate 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

utility power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the Back-UPS is switched on

or off and is connected to utility power. Do not expect full battery run capability

during the initial charge time.

If the red Buil ding Wir in g Fa u lt LED located on the side of the Back-UPS

illuminates, do not operate the Back-UPS. Have a qualified elec trician correct the

building wiring fault.

Status Indicators

Tr oubleshooting 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 alternate ly gree n-amber-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 se nsiti vity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the

transfer voltage sensitivi ty levels.

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

green.

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

flashes red.

6. To sele ct HIGH sensitivity, pre ss 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.

Building Wiring Fault LED

illuminates red None The Back-UPS is unplugged from the wall outlet

or is plugged into an improperly wired outlet.

Problem and Possible Cause Solution

The Back-UPS will not turn on

The Back-UPS has not been turned

on. Press the POWER ON button.

The Back-UPS is not connected to

utility power, there is no utility power

available at the wall outlet, or the

utility power is experiencing a

brownout or over voltage condition.

Make sure the power cord is securely connected to

the wall outlet, and that there is utilit y power

available at the wall outlet.Wher e applicable,

check that the wall outlet is switched on.

The battery is not connected. Connect the battery. Refer to “Connect the

Battery” on page 1 of this manual.

In the event that the Back-UPS receives no utility

power and the battery is connected, a cold-start can

be initiated. Press and hold the Power On button

until the Back-UPS emits two beeps.

The Back-UPS is on, the Replace Battery LED flashes and the unit emits a

constant tone

The battery is disconnected. Refer to the “Connect the Battery” on page 1.

Connected equipment loses power

A Back-UPS overload condition has

occurred. Remove all nonessential eq uipment connected to

the outlets. One at a time reconnect equipment to

the Back-UPS.

The Back-UPS battery is completely

discharged. Connect the Back-UPS to utility power and allow

the battery to recharge for eight hours.

PowerChute software has performed a

shutdown due to a power failure. This is normal Back-UPS operation.

Connected equipment does not accept

the step-approximated sine waveform

from the Back-UPS.

The output waveform is intended for computers

and peripheral devices. It is not intended for use

with motor driven equipmen t.

The Back-UPS may require service. Contact APC Technical Support for more in depth

troubleshooting.

The Power On LED is illuminated and the Back-UPS beeps 4 times every 30

seconds

The Back-UPS is operating on battery

power. The Back-UPS is operating normally on battery

power. At this point the user should save all open

files, and shutdown the computer. When utility

power is restored the battery will rechar ge.

The Power On LED flashes once every second while the Back-UPS beeps once

every second

The Back-UPS battery has

approximately two minutes of

remaining runtime.

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 utility

power is restored the battery will rechar ge.

The Building Wiring Fault LED illumina tes

The building wiring presents a shock

hazard that must be corrected by a

qualified ele ct r ical.

Do not operate the Back-UPS. Call a qualified

electrician to correct the building wiring fault.

The Back-UPS has an inadequate battery runtime

The battery is not fully charged.

The battery is near the end of useful

life and should be replaced.

Leave the Back-UPS connected to utility power for

16 hours while the battery charges to full capacity.

As a battery ages, the runtime capability decreases.
