Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Inventory

Connect the Battery

The UPS is shipped with the battery disconnected.

1. Lay the UPS with the battery door facing up.
   The arrows point to the locking tabs of the battery compartment.

2. Press the tabs downwards and pull the battery door away from the unit to access the battery modules.

3. Using the handles on both sides of the battery, lift the battery 30 degrees upward to expose the battery connector. Connect the red wire as shown above.

4. Push the battery into the unit.
   

5. Replace the battery door.

Install PowerChute™ Personal Edition Software

Use PowerChute Personal Edition software to configure the UPS settings. During a power outage, PowerChute will save any open files on your computer and shut it down.
When power is restored, it will restart the computer.
Note: PowerChute is only compatible with a Windows operating system. If you are using Mac OSX, use the native shutdown feature to protect your system. See the documentation provided with your computer.

Installation

Use the USB communication cable supplied with the Back-UPS to connect the data port on the Back-UPS to the USB port on your computer. On the computer, go to www.apc.com Search for “PowerChute Personal Edition” then click on “View Details”  to download the latest version of PCPE software. Click the download link and select Software product. Select the appropriate operating system. Follow the directions to download the software.

Connect the Equipment

Battery backup and surge-protected outlets
When the Back-UPS is receiving input power, the Battery Backup with Surge Protection outlets will supply power to connected equipment. During a power outage or other AC
problems, the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the BackUPS.
Connect equipment such as printers, fax machines, scanners, or other peripherals that do not need battery backup power to the Surge Protection Only outlets. These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS is switched OFF.

1| USB and
Serial
Data port| To use PowerChute Personal Edition,
connect the supplied USB cable or an
optional serial cable (not supplied).
---|---|---
2| Telephone Cable Surge
Protected ports| Connect the ground lead from an additional surge suppression device such as a stand-alone data line surge protector.
3| AC Power
Input| Use a power cable to connect the unit to
AC power.
4| Battery
Backup
outlets
with Surge
Protection| During a power outage or other AC
problems, the Battery Backup outlets
receive power for a limited time from
the Back-UPS. Connect critically
equipment such as desktop computers,
computer monitor, modem, or other data
sensitive devices into these outlets.
5| Circuit
Breaker| Use to reset the system after an overload
the condition has occurred causing the circuit breaker to trip.
6| In/Out
Ethernet
surge protected
ports| Use an Ethernet cable to connect a cable
modem to the IN port, and connect a
computer to the OUT port.
7| Surge
Protected
outlets| These outlets provide full-time protection from surges, even if the  BackUPS is off.
Connect equipment such as printers and scanners that do not require battery backup protection.

Operation

Power saving display

The display interface can be configured to be continuously illuminated or to save energy, it can be configured to darken after a period of inactivity.

1. Full-Time Mode: Press and hold DISPLAY for two seconds. The display will illuminate and the Back-UPS will beep to confirm the Full-Time mode.
2. Power Saving Mode: Press and hold DISPLAY for two seconds. The display will darken and the Back-UPS will beep to confirm the Power Saving mode. While in Power  Saving Mode, the display will illuminate if a button is pressed, it then darkens after 60 seconds of no activity.

Troubleshooting

Ensure that the Back-UPS is securely connected to an AC outlet.
The circuit breaker has been tripped.| Disconnect non-essential equipment from the Back-UPS. Reset the circuit breaker. Re-connect equipment one item at a time. If the circuit breaker is tripped again, disconnect the device that caused the trip.
The internal battery is not connected.| Connect the battery.
The AC input voltage is out of range.| Adjust the transfer voltage and sensitivity range.
The Back-UPS does not provide power during an AC power outage.| Ensure that essential equipment is not plugged into a SURGE ONLY outlet.| Disconnect equipment from the SURGE ONLY outlet and re-connect to a Battery Backup outlet.
The Back-UPS is operating on battery power, while connected to AC power.| The plug has partially pulled out of the wall outlet, the wall outlet is no longer receiving AC power, or the
circuit breaker has been tripped.| Ensure that the plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet. Ensure that the wall outlet is receiving AC power by checking it with another device.
The Back-UPS is performing an automatic self-test.| No action is necessary.
The AC input voltage is out of range, the frequency is out of range, or the waveform is distorted.| Adjust the transfer voltage and sensitivity range.
The Back-UPS does not provide the expected amount of backup time| Battery Backup outlets may be fully or improperly loaded.| Disconnect non-essential equipment from the Battery Backup outlets and connect the equipment to SURGE outlets.
The battery was recently discharged due e to a power outage and has not fully recharged.| Charge the battery cartridge for 16 hours.
The battery has reached the end of its useful life.| Replace the battery.
The REPLACE
BA I [‘FRY indicator is illuminated.| The battery has reached the end of its useful life.| Replace the battery as early as possible.
The OVERLOAD
indicator is illuminated.| The equipment connected to the Back-UPS is drawing more power than the Back-UPS can provide.| Disconnect non-essential equipment from the Battery Backup outlets and connect the equipment to SURGE outlets.
The SYSTEM ERROR indicator is illuminated, and all the front panel indicators are flashing.| There is an internal error.| Determine which internal error
the message is displayed by matching the number displayed on the LCD with the corresponding Error Message (see “System errors”) and contacting SEIT Technical Support.

Battery Replacement

CAUTION

RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE

• Replace the battery at least every 5 years.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace the battery at the end of its service life.
• 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 UPS internal over−temperature, 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 can result in minor or moderate injury and equipment damage.

The battery typically lasts for 3 to 5 years, a shorter period if subjected to frequent outages or elevated temperatures. Battery replacement parts for Back- UPS Pro BR1200SI is  APCRBC161, and for BR1600SI are APCRBC163. Delaying the replacement of parts may corrode the batteries in the cartridge. Recycle spent battery cartridges.

Warranty

The standard warranty is three (3) years from the date of purchase, valid in the European Community. For all other regions, 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 a SEIT Technical Support representative. SEIT will ship the replacement unit once the defective unit has been received by the repair department or cross-ship it 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.
