Setting the UPS to Recognize the Battery Pack(s)

Smart-UPS XL models must be programed for the appropriate number of external battery packs in one of two ways.

Refer to the instructions included with the software or accessory cards.

This configuration affects the accuracy of the predicted runtime calculations the UPS performs while running on battery power.

Replacing the Battery Module

This unit has two easy-to-replace, hot-swappable battery modules. Replacement is a safe procedure, isolated from electrical hazards. You may leave the external battery pack and connected equipment on during the replacement procedure.

Once the batteries are disconnected the connected equipment is not protected from power outages.

Refer to the appropriate replacement battery user manual for battery module installation instructions. See your dealer or contact APC at www.apc.com or htpp://upgrade.apc.com for information on replacement battery modules.

Be sure to deliver the spent battery(s) to a recycling facility or ship it to APC in the replacement battery packing material.
