6: STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

STORAGE

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Store the UPS covered and positioned as for proper functioning, in a cool, dry location, with its bat- teries fully charged. Disconnect any cables connected to the computer interface port to avoid unnec- essary battery drainage.

EXTENDED STORAGE

At -15 to +30 °C (+5 to +86 °F), charge the UPS battery every six months.

At +30 to +45 °C (+86 to +113 °F), charge the UPS battery every three months.

REPLACING THE BATTERY MODULE

This UPS has an easy to replace, hot-swappable battery module. Replacement is a safe procedure, isolated from electrical hazards. You may leave the UPS and connected equipment on for the follow- ing procedure. See your dealer or contact APC at the web site, www.apc.com/support/contact, for information on replacement battery modules.

Once the battery is disconnected, the connected equipment is not protected from power outages.

REMOVING THE FRONT BEZEL AND BATTERY MODULE

The battery module is accessible from the front of the UPS. This proce- dure requires a Phillips or straight head screwdriver.

1.Face the front of the UPS to remove the bezel. Use both hands and grasp the finger clips on either side of the bezel. Pull toward you. The bezel will unsnap.

Set the bezel aside

2.Use a screwdriver to remove the two battery door screws and open the door (hinged panel).

Set the screws aside in a safe place. You will replace them later.

3.To disconnect the battery, take out the white cord that is tucked into

￿the space above the battery. This cord serves as a handle for the con- nector ￿. Grasp the cord and pull firmly toward you.

4.Be careful during this step—the battery module is heavy.

Pull the battery module out of the UPS by pulling the clear label ￿,

￿not the white cord. (The battery module consists of a string of four batteries. The white cord is connected to the battery leads, not the body of the battery.)

American Power Conversion (APC) has long been renowned for its commitment to providing reliable power protection solutions. One of their well-regarded offerings is the APC 750VA, 100VAC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This model is designed to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from power disturbances while ensuring continuous operation during outages.

The APC 750VA, 100VAC UPS is built to accommodate the power requirements of small networks, home office setups, and personal use. With a 750VA power capacity, it provides essential support for a variety of devices, including computers, networking equipment, and peripherals, ensuring that they remain operational during unexpected power interruptions.

One of the standout features of this APC model is its sine wave output. Unlike traditional modified sine wave outputs, sine wave technology delivers a smoother waveform, which is less stressful on connected devices, improving their longevity and performance. The UPS also includes automatic voltage regulation (AVR) that stabilizes voltage levels by correcting minor power fluctuations without switching to battery mode, thereby extending battery life and reducing unnecessary wear.

The unit also boasts several communication options. It features USB and serial ports that allow for easy connection to management software, enabling users to monitor power usage and battery health. The built-in alarm systems similarly notify users of power disturbances or battery failure, providing critical alerts that facilitate timely interventions.

Another notable characteristic of the APC 750VA UPS is its compact form factor, making it easy to position within home or office environments without consuming much space. The design is also user-friendly, featuring a clear LED display that shows battery status, load level, and overall health status at a glance.

In terms of battery characteristics, the UPS uses sealed lead-acid batteries that are user-replaceable, simplifying maintenance and ensuring that the system continues to operate effectively over the years. The battery runtime is adjustable, allowing users to choose between higher performance for critical devices or extended backup time for non-essential devices.

Overall, the APC 750VA, 100VAC UPS is a versatile and robust power protection solution, blending innovative technology with practical design elements to meet the diverse needs of users in a variety of settings. With its reliable performance, advanced features, and user-friendly interface, it has become an essential component for ensuring continuous power availability and protecting valuable electronics.
