Inventory

Connect the Battery

Connect the battery connector prior to using the UPS. Pull the battery connector handle down. Then push the connector into the UPS.
Do not expect full battery runtime capability during the initial charge period. There are no serviceable parts in the Back-UPS. Do not attempt to open or
repair the Back-UPS as this will void the warranty. The battery in this unit is not replaceable. Contact APC by Schneider Electric to order a new Back-UPS.
Refer to the contact information at the end of this manual

Turn On the Back-UPS

Press the Power ON button located on the front panel of the Back-UPS. The Power On/Replace Battery LED will illuminate and a single short beep will be
audible to indicate that the Back-UPS is providing protection for connected equipment. The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 10 hours while connected to utility power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the Back- UPS is turned on or off and is connected to utility power. Do not expect full battery runtime capability during the initial charge period

Connect the Equipment

occurred causing the circuit breaker to trip.
| Battery and surge protected outlets| These outlets provide battery backup power to connected equipment for a limited period of time during power outages and voltage fluctuations.

The Battery Backup + Surge Protection outlets provide battery power to connected equipment only when the Back-UPS is turned on.

Connect essential equipment such as a computer, computer monitor, modem or other data sensitive devices to these outlets.

Do not connect aquarium equipment, laser printers, paper shredders, sump pumps, or fans to these outlets as the modified sine wave output of the Back- UPS may cause these devices to experience a decrease in performance.

Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to these outlets.

| AC power cable| Use this cable to connect the Back-UPS to AC power.

Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Settings

Voltage regulation
The Back-UPS will switch to battery power if the AC input voltage level becomes too low or too high, or if the AC power is experiencing voltage fluctuations.
No-load shutdown
The UPS will shut down to conserve energy if while operating on battery power the UPS detects that connected equipment is using less than 15 W of
energy for more than 15 minutes. Disable this feature if low power consuming equipment like ADSL-modem or wi-fi router is connected to the Back-UPS.
No-load shutdown can be enabled or disabled through Program mode described below.

Voltage sensitivity adjustment
If the Back-UPS switches to battery power too frequently or too infrequently, adjust the transfer voltage and sensitivity settings:

1. Verify that the Back-UPS battery is connected. Connect the Back-UPS to a wall outlet. The Back-UPS should be turned off.
2. Press and hold the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED continuously flashes green. Release the button. The Back-UPS is now in Program mode.
3. The LED will flash once, twice, or three times per second, and emit audible beeps to indicate the current sensitivity level. The Back-UPS will beep to indicate that No-load Shutdown is enabled. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
4. Press the POWER ON/OFF button within two seconds to change the setting. Continue pressing the button until the desired setting is reached. If the button is not pressed within five seconds, the Back-UPS will exit the Program Mode.
5. To select LOW sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED flashes green once per second.
6. To select MEDIUM sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED flashes green two times per second.
7. To select HIGH sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED flashes green three times per second.
8. To exit Program mode wait for five seconds, the LED will extinguish. Program mode is no longer active.

Battery Replacement

CAUTION

RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE

• Replace the battery at least every 5 years or at the end of its service life, whichever is earlier.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-temperature condition or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage. Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the UPS until the batteries have been replaced.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury and equipment damage

• The battery in the Back-UPS is not user-replaceable. Contact APC by Schneider Electric Sales and SEIT Technical Support for a list of authorized service centers near you.
• Servicing of user replaceable batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. In this case batteries is not user replaceable.
• CAUTION: Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
• CAUTION:A battery can present a risk of electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current.
• CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
• CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
  • Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
  • Do not wear any metal objects including watches and rings.
  • Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
  • Use tools with insulated handles.
  • Wear rubber gloves and boots.
  • Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance by a skilled person.

Problem| Possible Cause| Corrective Action
---|---|---
The Back- UPS does not provide the expected amount of backup time.| The UPS battery is weak due to a recent power outage or is near the end of its service life.| Charge the battery. Batteries require recharging after an extended outage. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality AC power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.
Connected equipment loses power.| The Back-UPS has experienced an overload condition.| Disconnect non-essential equipment one device at a time to reduce the overload condition.
The Back-UPS has exhausted its available battery power.| The Back-UPS can operate on battery power for a limited amount of time. The Back-UPS will shut down when the available battery power has been exhausted. Allow the Back-UPS battery to charge for 10 hours before using the Back- UPS.
The equipment connected to the Back-UPS does not accept the step approximated sine waveform from the unit.| The output waveform is designed for computers and computer-related equipment. It is not designed for use with motor-type equipment.
The Back-UPS may require service| Contact SEIT Technical Support for further troubleshooting.

Warranty

The standard warranty is two (2) years from the date of purchase. Schneider Electric IT (SEIT) 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 SEIT Technical Support representative. SEIT 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 SEIT. SEIT pays ground freight transportation costs to ship the replacement unit to the customer.

Service
