SELF-TEST

Automatic Self-Test

The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every two weeks thereafter (by default). Refer to User Configur- able Items for details on changing the default interval.

Automatic self-test eases maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic manual self-tests. During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the connected equipment on battery. If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to online operation.

If the UPS fails the self-test, the UPS lights the replace battery

LED and immediately returns to online operation. The con- nected equipment is not affected by a failed test. Recharge the bat- tery for 24 hours and perform another self-test. If it fails, the bat- tery must be replaced.

Manual Self-Test

UTILITY POWER

Press and hold the button for a few seconds to initiate the self- test.

During normal operation, the UPS monitors the utility power and delivers power to the connected equipment. If your system is experiencing excessive periods of high or low voltage, have a certified electrician check your facility for electrical problems. If the problem continues, contact the utility company for further assistance.

power to the connected equipment. If the LED is not lit, the UPS is

 

either not turned ON, or is supplying battery power. The UPS

 

sounds an alarm—four beeps every 30 seconds.

Utility Voltage

The UPS has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage.

 

Plug the UPS into the normal utility power.

 

Press and hold the

button to view the utility voltage bar graph

display. After a few seconds the five-LED display on the right of the front panel shows the utility input voltage. Refer to the figure at left for the voltage reading (values are not listed on the UPS).

The UPS starts a self-test as part of this procedure. The self-test does not affect the voltage display.

The display indicates the voltage is between the displayed value on the list and the next higher value. For example, with three LEDs lit on the 120V model, the input voltage is between 115 and 134 VAC.

If no LEDs are lit and the UPS is plugged into a working, utility power outlet, the line voltage is extremely low.

If all five LEDs are lit, the line voltage is extremely high and should be checked by an electrician.

American Power Conversion (APC) has long been renowned for its commitment to providing reliable power protection solutions. One of their well-regarded offerings is the APC 750VA, 100VAC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This model is designed to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from power disturbances while ensuring continuous operation during outages.

The APC 750VA, 100VAC UPS is built to accommodate the power requirements of small networks, home office setups, and personal use. With a 750VA power capacity, it provides essential support for a variety of devices, including computers, networking equipment, and peripherals, ensuring that they remain operational during unexpected power interruptions.

One of the standout features of this APC model is its sine wave output. Unlike traditional modified sine wave outputs, sine wave technology delivers a smoother waveform, which is less stressful on connected devices, improving their longevity and performance. The UPS also includes automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that stabilizes voltage levels by correcting minor power fluctuations without switching to battery mode, thereby extending battery life and reducing unnecessary wear.

The unit also boasts several communication options. It features USB and serial ports that allow for easy connection to management software, enabling users to monitor power usage and battery health. The built-in alarm systems similarly notify users of power disturbances or battery failure, providing critical alerts that facilitate timely interventions.

Another notable characteristic of the APC 750VA UPS is its compact form factor, making it easy to position within home or office environments without consuming much space. The design is also user-friendly, featuring a clear LED display that shows battery status, load level, and overall health status at a glance.

In terms of battery characteristics, the UPS uses sealed lead-acid batteries that are user-replaceable, simplifying maintenance and ensuring that the system continues to operate effectively over the years. The battery runtime is adjustable, allowing users to choose between higher performance for critical devices or extended backup time for non-essential devices.

Overall, the APC 750VA, 100VAC UPS is a versatile and robust power protection solution, blending innovative technology with practical design elements to meet the diverse needs of users in a variety of settings. With its reliable performance, advanced features, and user-friendly interface, it has become an essential component for ensuring continuous power availability and protecting valuable electronics.
