• | User’s Manual | • | UPS • Cord straps (2) |
• Telephone cable | • | Warranty card | |
•APC Solutions magazine
•Equipment Protection policy

Place
Locate the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive dust and has adequate air flow. Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity is outside specifications.
Connect UPS to power
5 hours
Connect the battery
Refer to "Battery replacement procedure"- pg. 2
Charge the battery
The UPS battery charges whenever it is connected to utility power and typically requires less than five hours to charge fully. UPS capacity is reduced until the battery is fully charged.
Check site wiring fault indicator (rear panel-top)
A lit indicator means that a shock hazard exists due to faulty building wiring , that should be corrected by a qualified electrician.
If the building wiring fault indicator is lit, one of the following conditions exist:
•Open or high resistance ground
•Hot and neutral polarity reversal
•Overloaded neutral circuit
Note: Improper building wiring will not prevent the UPS from operating but will limit it's protection capability. Faulty building wiring could result in equipment damage that is not covered by APC. Please refer to APC's Equipment Protection Policy for details.
Connect equipment
Cord Straps: Straps are provided to keep cords from tangling and taking up too much space.
Battery Back-Up Outlets:
•Surge protection when utility power is used
•Battery power and surge protection when utility voltage is outside acceptable limits.
Accessory Surge Protection Outlets (500 and 650 VA models only): These outlets are for equipment that need surge protection but do not need power during a utility outage (like an inkjet printer or a scanner).
BlockSafe™ Outlets (500 and 650 VA models only): Corded sockets are provided which accept "block type" plugs without covering other outlets. Some printers and external disk drives have block type plugs that look similar to the one below.
Caution: Do not connect a surge suppressor or laser printer to the UPS. These devices may overload the UPS.
Connect phone cables to surge protection (optional)
Socket Location:
Rear panel of 500 and 650 VA models only.
Surge protection is provided for one phone line when it is connected as shown below:

Modem/Fax/Phone
System
Switch "On" and test the UPS
Press the upper portion of the Power 1/0 switch and then switch "On" the equipment connected to the UPS. The Power 1/0 switch should be lit. Utility power is supplied to the equipment.
Perform a simulated utility blackout test to confirm the UPS unit can switch from utility power to battery power and back again, without affecting equipment powered by the UPS.
Connected equipment must be "On".

Continued
Start the test by either:
•Unplugging the UPS power cord, or
•Pressing and holding the "Test" portion of the Test/ Alarm Disable switch (500 and 650 VA models only).
1.The UPS will then beep once every five seconds (or continuously) to remind you that your equipment is powered by a limited capacity power source.
2.Restore power to the UPS by releasing the Test switch or by reconnecting the UPS power cord.
If the equipment operation was undisturbed throughout the testing, the system is operating properly.

UPS Controls
Power 1/0 Switch
The Power 1/0 Switch controls power to the UPS.
Lamp: The lamp in the Power 1/0 Switch is lit whenever normal utility voltages are present at the power sockets.

0The UPS is
All devices connected to battery
Note: Accessory surge protected outlets are unaffected by this switch - they remain powered as long as utility power is available.
Test/Alarm Disable Switch
Switch Location: Front panel of 500 and 650 VA models only.
The battery run time can be checked by pressing and holding the "Test" switch and waiting to see how long the UPS provides power to the equipment before the low battery warning is sounded.
Test
Press the "Test" portion of the Test/Alarm Disable Switch to simulate a power outage - the UPS battery supplies power to the equipment
Alarm Disable
The UPS will emit a beep once every five seconds during a utility power outage, unless the alarm is disabled by pressing this side of the switch. The UPS low battery warning (a loud continuous tone) will still sound in the event of an extended utility outage.
