Thank you for purchasing APC’s Line-R Automatic Voltage Regulator! Please fill out and mail the product warranty registration form, or fill out an online form at www.apc.com.

Chronically abnormal line voltage is often the result of adjustments made to the power station to conserve energy, or to compensate for low voltages in other areas. Locally, the operation of heavy loads such as air conditioners, office copiers, and laser printers may cause temporary voltage fluctuations.

The Line-R is a high-performance, microprocessor-controlled tap changing device which automatically corrects brownouts (by boosting low voltage) and overvoltages (by stepping down high voltage) from the power utility service to levels that are safe for computers, as well as other sensitive equipment. APC’s Line-R provides the highest degree of protection from line voltage sags and swells, and has been designed for many years of reliable, maintenance-free service.

Please Read This Manual

This manual provides safety, installation and operation instructions that, when followed, will ensure the fullest performance and service life that the Line-R can provide. Please save this manual. It includes important instructions for the safe use of this product, as well as information necessary to obtain factory service, if necessary.

Applications

CAUTION: The total power consumption of all equipment plugged into the Line-R must not exceed 300 W or 300VA. A total load in excess of 300 W or 300 VA will cause the fuse to fault (blow).

The Line-R is designed for use with voltage sensitive equipment such as: a home computer, monitor, inkjet printer, scanner or fax. It is also designed for use with home electronics equipment such as televisions, stereos, CD players, VCRs, and DVD players, data processing equipment, modems, typewriters, calculators, and telephone equipment.

Lights when the Line-R is regulating above normal input voltage and the input voltage is within the normal input voltage range.

Flashes when the Line-R is regulating above normal input voltage and the input voltage is out of the input voltage range.

Lights when the input voltage is normal.

Lights when the Line-R is regulating below normal input voltage and the input voltage is within the normal input voltage range.

Flashes when the Line-R is regulating below normal input voltage and the input voltage is lower than the input voltage range.

Switch

Fuse Holder

Plug equipment into the Line-R rear-panel outlets and switch the equipment ON. The equipment will not be powered until the Line-R is switched ON.

CAUTION: The total power consumption of all equipment plugged into the Line-R must not exceed 300 W or 300 VA. A total load in excess of 300 W or 300 VA will cause the fuse to fault (blow).

CAUTION: Do not plug an LE300 into a 220 volt outlet as this may damage the unit or the connected equipment.

Switch ON the Line-R

Switch the Line-R ON by pressing the front panel ON/OFF switch to the ON (l) position. This switch may be used as the master ON/OFF switch for all equipment connected to the unit.

Limited Warranty

American Power Conversion (APC) warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Its obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its sole option, any such defective products. To obtain service under

Fuse Replacement

For safety purposes, the Line-R provides a user- replaceable fuse to protect the unit from being overloaded. See the Specifications table for replacement fuse rating. Replace a faulted fuse with a fuse of the same exact type and rating.

CAUTION: Unplug the Line-R from the wall outlet before replacing the fuse.
