Computer Interface Port

Optional power management software and interface kits can be used with this UPS. Use only interface kits supplied or approved by APC. If used, connect the interface cable to the 9-pin computer inter-face port on the back panel of the UPS. Secure the connector’s screws to complete the connection.

Use an APC supplied cable to connect to the Computer Interface Port. DO NOT use a standard serial interface cable since it is incompatible with the UPS connector.

TVSS Screw

The UPS features a transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS) screw for connecting the ground lead on surge suppression devices, such as telephone and network line protectors. Refer to Connect Power and Equipment to the UPS, page 7, for information.

Voltage Sensitivity

The UPS detects line voltage distortions such as spikes, notches, dips, and swells, as well as distortions caused by operation with inexpensive fuel-powered generators. By default, the UPS reacts to distortions by transferring to on-battery operation to protect the connected equipment. In areas where power quality is poor, the UPS may frequently transfer to on-battery operation. If the connected equipment can operate normally under such conditions, reduce the sensitivity setting to conserve battery capacity and service life.

To reduce UPS sensitivity, press the Sensitivity button on the rear panel. Use a pointed object such as a pen to press the button. Press it once to set the UPS’s sensitivity to reduced. Press it again to set the sensitivity to low. Press the button a third time to reset normal sensitivity. The Sensitivity can also be changed through software.
