Diagnostic Utility Voltage

The UPS has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage. Plug the UPS into the normal utility power.

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

Press and hold the button to view the utility voltage bar graph display. After a few seconds the five-LED, Battery Charge

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 display indicates the voltage is between the displayed value on the list and the next higher value.

BATTERY OPERATION

The UPS switches to battery operation automatically if the utility power fails. While running on battery, an alarm beeps four times every 30 seconds.

Press the button to silence this alarm. If the utility power does not return, the UPS continues to supply power to the connected equipment until the battery is fully discharged.

When 2 minutes of run time remain the UPS emits a continuous beeping. If PowerChute is not being used, files must be manually saved and the computer must be turned off before the UPS fully discharges the battery.

The UPS battery life differs based on usage and environment. Refer to www.apc.com for on battery runtimes.
