Safety and General Information

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This section contains

important instructions that should be followed during

installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.

• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
• Connect the Back-UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge

protectors or extension cords.

• Replace batteries only with APC by Schneider Electric approved batteries (see

Replace Battery

section for details)

• When grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the utility

power outlet before installing or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the

power cord only after all connections are made.

CAUTION

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and

eyes. It may be toxic.

• Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist

watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe

burns.

Specifications

Connect the Battery

The Back-UPS is shipped with one battery cable disconnected.

Connect Equipment

Battery Backup + Surge Protection Outlets

Battery backup outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the
Back-UPS is turned on and connected to AC power. Battery backup outlets receive

power from the battery for a limited period of time when a power outage, or brownout
condition occurs. Battery backup outlets provide protection from power surges or
spikes. Connect a computer, monitor and other peripheral devices to these outlets.

Surge Protection Outlets

Surge protection outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the
Back-UPS is connected to AC power, and is switched on or off. Surge protection

outlets provide protection from power surges or spikes. Connect peripheral devices
(such as printer, scanner, etc.) that do not need to remain on during power outages or
AC problems to the surge protection outlets.

USB charging port

The USB port provides a maximum of 1.5A DC power. The USB port will provide
power when the unit is on AC and on battery.

Turn On the Back-UPS

Press the POWER button located on the top of the Back-UPS. The

POWER

button

will illuminate green and a single short beep will indicate that the Back-UPS is on and
providing protection for connected equipment.

The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 24 hours while connected to AC
power. The Back-UPS battery will charge regardless of whether the Back-UPS is
switched on or off as long as it is connected to AC power. The UPS will have full

runtime capability after the initial 24 hour charging period.

If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located on the end near the power cord) is
lit, your building wiring may present a shock hazard that should be corrected by a

qualified electrician.

Turn Off the Back-UPS

To turn off the Back-UPS, press the POWER button for at least 2 seconds. At the first
beep, release the button and the UPS will turn off. A 2 second delay has been added to
mitigate unintentional contact with the POWER button.

Quick Mute

The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable alarms such as: On
Battery, Battery disconnected and Overload.

During such alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will

temporarily mute the alarm until the condition has been reset. A short double beep will
confirm that Quick Mute has been activated. Pressing the POWER button for more
than 2 seconds will turn off the UPS.

Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be
temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

On Battery Indicator Modes

This Back-UPS has 3 On Battery Indicator modes provided that the UPS is turned on.

To configure an On Battery Indicator mode, hold down the POWER button and wait
for the third beep. At the third beep the POWER button will cycle red / green. Release
the POWER button and its color will indicate the mode the UPS is in. Press the

POWER button to cycle through each mode. See the table below for the mode
selection colors. Once the mode has been selected, wait 5 seconds and the setting will
be committed to the UPS.
