Introduction

American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) is the leading national and international manufac- turer of state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supplies, redundant switches, power management soft- ware, and related equipment. APC products protect hardware, software, and data from power distur- bances in business and government offices throughout the world.

The APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges from reaching your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally dis- connecting from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery is discharged.
