:Battery Pack coupler

Battery Packs are connected at this coupler. A coupler clamp is installed over the coupler opening as furnished from the factory. See the Installation section for instructions on how to lock mated couplers.

AAccessory panel

The EU is furnished with an opening that accepts accessories that work with the UPS. Call your dealer or the factory for information on available accessories.

BComputer interface port

See the UPS Monitoring section of this manual for information on this interface port.

CBattery communications jack

The Battery Pack communications cable from the Battery Pack OUTPUT is connected at this jack.

DManual bypass switch

Pressing the manual bypass switch causes the UPS to transfer to the bypass mode of operation. While in this mode, the load is supplied with power conditioned by the IU. However, the load will not be protected from mains voltage sags, swells or blackouts. The EU is removed for service when the UPS is operating in bypass. See the Operation section of this manual for more details on this mode of operation.

EEmergency Power Off jack

For applications where, for safety reasons, power to all room equipment must be cut off, the UPS provides a remote Emergency Power Off interface. A modular 6 position plug with offset latch fits this jack. See the Installation section of this manual for instructions on how to connect to the jack.

3000, 5000 specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) has long been a leader in the manufacturing of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and among its range of products, the APC 5000 and 3000 series stand out for their robust performance and reliability. These UPS systems are designed to ensure a continuous flow of power, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from fluctuations and outages.

The APC 5000 and 3000 models boast a range of key features that make them suitable for both commercial and residential applications. One of the primary characteristics is their high power capacity. The 5000 model provides a substantial 5000VA/4500W output, while the 3000 variant offers 3000VA/2700W. This enables users to connect multiple devices and critical loads without the risk of overload.

Both models utilize advanced double conversion technology, which ensures that the output power is consistently clean and stable. This technology is crucial for sensitive electronics, as it filters out voltage irregularities, providing pure sine wave output. This characteristic is particularly important for equipment like servers, data centers, and networking hardware, as it enhances their longevity and operational efficiency.

Another notable feature is their extended battery runtime capability. The APC 5000 and 3000 units are designed with hot-swappable batteries, allowing for easy replacement without interrupting the power supply. This enhances the overall reliability of the system, ensuring that even during maintenance, equipment remains operational.

In terms of connectivity, both models come equipped with multiple outlets for various plug types, as well as USB and network ports for monitoring and management. The integration with APC's PowerChute software allows users to manage power preferences, monitor battery health, and receive alerts when attention is needed. This level of monitoring is essential for facilities management teams, allowing them to ensure continuous operations without power-related disruptions.

The APC 5000 and 3000 also feature robust thermal management systems. With built-in fans, these units ensure efficient airflow and heat dissipation, protecting internal components from damage due to overheating.

In conclusion, the APC 5000 and 3000 series represent a powerful solution for those seeking reliable power protection. With their advanced technologies, multiple connectivity options, and serviceability features, these UPS systems stand out as trusted components in any power management strategy. Whether in a data center or a home office, the reliability and efficiency of these models make them invaluable in today’s power-dependent environment.
