TRANSFER VOLTAGE AND SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

In situations where the Back-UPS or connected equipment appears too sensitive to input voltage, it may be necessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a simple task requiring use of the front panel pushbutton. To adjust the transfer voltage, proceed as follows:

1.Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in a Standby Mode (no indicators lit).

2.Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the Back-UPS will flash to acknowledge going into Programming Mode.

3.The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Sensitivity Setting, as shown in the following table.

If the Back-UPS requires service, do not return it to the dealer. The following steps should be taken:

1.Consult the Troubleshooting section to eliminate common problems.

2.If the problem persists, go to http://www.apc.com/support/.

3.If the problem still persists, contact APC Technical Support.

4.Have the Back-UPS model number, serial number and date of purchase available. Be prepared to troubleshoot the problem with an APC Technical Support representative. If this is not successful, APC will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and a shipping address.

LIMITED WARRANTY

The standard warranty is two (2) years from the date of purchase. APC’s standard procedure is to replace the original unit with a factory reconditioned unit. Customers who must have the original unit back due to the assignment of asset tags and set depreciation schedules must declare such a need at first contact with an APC Technical Support representative. APC will ship the replacement unit once the defective unit has been received by the repair department, or cross-ship upon the receipt of a valid credit card number. The customer pays for shipping the unit to APC. APC pays ground freight transportation costs to ship the replacement unit to the customer.
