Uninterruptible Power Supply
Introduction
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 disconnecting 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.
1:INSTALLATION
Read the Safety Instruction sheet before installing the UPS.
Unpacking
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. APC designed robust packaging for your product. However, accidents and damage may occur during shipment. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage.
The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it properly.
Check the package contents. The package contains the UPS, the front bezel, the rail kit, and a literature kit containing:
•Product documentation and safety information
•
•PowerChute®
•Serial and USB communication cables
•Two IEC jumper cables and one plug adaptor (230V models only)
The UPS is shipped with the battery disconnected.
Rail Installation
Install the rails following instructions in the rail kit.
Mounting rails are supplied for the standard

Mounting the UPS in a Rack
The UPS is heavy. To lighten it, you may remove the battery before mounting the unit in the rack (Steps 1 and 2).
Step 1 | Step 2 Caution: The battery is heavy. |
Step 3
Install the UPS at or near the bottom of the rack (Step 3).
Check to ensure the rack will not tip after installing the UPS into the rack.

4.Turn on all connected equipment. To use the UPS as a master ON/OFF switch, be sure all connected equipment is switched ON. The equipment will not be powered until the UPS is turned on.
5.To power up the UPS press the button on the front panel.
•The UPS charges its battery when it is connected to utility power. The battery charges to 90% capacity during the first four hours of normal operation. Do not expect full battery run capability during this initial charge period.
•120V Models: Check the site wiring fault LED located on the rear panel. It lights up if the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired utility power outlet. Refer toTroubleshooting in this manual.
6.For additional computer system security, install PowerChute®

Equipment is now powered and protected. Basic operation, user configuration, and software utilization can now be performed as required.
Battery Operation
The UPS switches to battery operation automatically if the utility power fails. While running on battery, an alarm beeps four times every 30 seconds. Press the button to silence this alarm.
If the utility power does not return, the UPS continues to supply power to the connected equipment until the battery is fully discharged.
Refer to www.apc.com for battery runtime charts.
When the UPS reaches the low battery shutdown warning (two minute default), the alarm will beep continuously until total shutdown. Connected equipment should be shut down during this time, unless being controlled by network monitoring software.
