1. GENERAL INFORMATION1.1 Introduction
DC Power Systems from APC have unique features that make them easy to install,
maintain, and upgrade. The rectifier units are modular and truly “hot-pluggable” into the
shelf assembly without any separate ac wiring.
All system settings are made from the system control unit that provides monitoring and
control functions for each component of the system as well as alarm listings for system
diagnosis and maintenance.
The APC international network of sales and service offices and qualified representatives
provides sales assistance for proposals, purchases, and after-sales support.
APC provides nationwide 24-hour, 7-day service response by dialing:
(800) 727-8695
This service will answer your call, gather specific service information, and have a qualified
APC service representative contact you as quickly as possible (refer to section on customer
service and support).
