APC BX1500G - Manual
The APC Back-UPS™ is a versatile power management system designed primarily for indoor use as a surge protector with battery backup capabilities, covering essential topics like installation, operation, configuration, and troubleshooting. This device provides protection against voltage spikes and ensures uninterrupted power supply during outages by integrating automatic transfer switches (ATS) and adjustable sensitivity controls. Its manual includes guidance on setting up connections–such as telephone/network ports, coaxial outlets, and surge-protected circuits–and configuring power-saving features like controlled outlet management and LCD display settings. The system also features front-panel indicators for status monitoring (e.g., battery charge, overload, AVR operation) alongside troubleshooting protocols for common issues like failed startup or insufficient backup time. Additionally, the documentation addresses compatibility with Windows systems via PowerChute™ Personal Edition software, though Mac users rely on native shutdown mechanisms. While the battery is non-replaceable by the user, warranty procedures outline proper handling and return processes for repairs or replacements.

Safety and General Information
Connect the Battery
The battery charges fully during the first 16 hours while the Back-UPS is operating on AC power. Do not
expect full battery runtime capability during the initial charge period.
Battery wear is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
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 through customer
support. Refer to the contact information at the end of this manual.
This unit is intended for indoor use only.
Do not operate this unit in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is
excessive dust or humidity.
The battery typically lasts for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery
life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality AC power, and frequent short
duration discharges will shorten battery life.
Connect the Back-UPS power cable directly into a wall outlet. Do not use surge
protectors or extension cords.
