CHECK BUILDING WIRING
FAULT INDICATOR

If the rear panel Building Wiring Fault (red) indicator
is lit, a potential shock hazard exists due to one of the
following conditions:
• Open or high resistance ground
• Hot or neutral polarity reversed
• Overloaded neutral circuit
Improper building wiring should be corrected by a
qualified electrician. Do not use the Back-UPS until
the condition that caused the fault is corrected.
Note: Improper building wiring will not prevent the
Back-UPS from operating, but it will limit its
protection capability.

GROUND

The Back-UPS features a transient
voltage surge-suppression (TVSS)
screw for connecting the ground
lead
on
additional
surge
suppression devices such as
network and data line surge
protectors.

NOTE: Macintosh Users - for full USB performance,
use OS 9.22 or higher.

There are four status indicators (lights) on the front
panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On Battery, Overload,
and Replace Battery).

If Autoplay is not enabled on the computer, proceed
as follows:

SWITCH ON THE BACK-UPS
Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full
eight (8) hours prior to use.

• When Self-Test has successfully completed,
only the green On Line indicator will be lit.

Press the front panel Power ON/OFF switch and
observe that the following events occur after
pressing and releasing the switch:

• If the battery cartridges are not connected (see
Step 3 above), the green On Line indicator
and red Replace Battery indicators will light.
The Back-UPS will also emit a chirping
sound.

• The green On Line indicator flashes.
• The yellow On Battery indicator lights while
a Self-Test is being performed.

On Battery (yellow) - is lit whenever the battery of
the Back-UPS is powering equipment connected to the
Battery Backup Outlets.
Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this alarm is
sounded whenever the Back-UPS is running On
Battery. Consider saving work in progress.

Overload (red) - is lit whenever power demand has
exceeded the capacity of the Back-UPS.
Continuous Tone - this alarm is sounded
whenever the Battery Backup outlets are
overloaded.

Replace Battery

On Line (green) - is lit whenever utility power is
powering the Battery Backup outlets.

Continuous Beeping - this alarm is sounded
whenever a low battery condition is reached.
Battery run-time is very low. Promptly save any
work in progress and exit all open applications.
Shutdown the operating system, computer and
the Back-UPS.

Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button
located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will
stick out if an overload condition forces the BackUPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the
button sticks out, disconnect non-essential
equipment. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing
the button inward.

Replace Battery (red) - is lit whenever the battery is

near the end of its useful life, or if the battery is not connected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its useful life has insufficient run-time and should be replaced.
Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours - this
alarm is sounded whenever the battery has failed
the automatic diagnostic test.

SPECIFICATIONS

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Back-UPS will not switch on.

Possible Cause

Ensure the Back-UPS is securely connected to an AC outlet.

Back-UPS circuit breaker “tripped”.

Disconnect non-essential equipment from the Back-UPS. Reset
(push in) the rear panel circuit breaker. Switch on the Back-UPS
and plug in devices one at a time. If the circuit breaker trips
again, disconnect the device that caused the breaker to trip.

Utility input voltage quality is out of range.
Back-UPS does not power
essential equipment during an
outage.
Back-UPS operates on battery
although utility power exists.

Equipment plugged into a Surge Only outlet.

Back-UPS circuit breaker “tripped”.

Utility input voltage quality is out of range.
Back-UPS does not provide
expected backup time.

Item

Corrective Action

Back-UPS not connected to AC power source.

Consider adjusting the transfer voltage and sensitivity. See
Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Adjustment.
Unplug device from 'Surge Only' outlet and move to a 'Battery
Backup' outlet.
Disconnect non-essential equipment from the Back-UPS. Reset
(push in) the rear panel circuit breaker. Switch the Back-UPS on
and plug equipment in one-at-a-time. If the circuit breaker trips
again, disconnect the device that caused the breaker to trip.
Consider adjusting the transfer voltage and sensitivity. See
Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Adjustment.

Back-UPS is heavily loaded.

Unplug non-essential equipment (printers, scanners, etc) from
the Battery Backup outlets and plug into 'Surge Only' outlets.

Back-UPS battery cartridge is discharged due to
recent power outage and has not had time to
recharge.

Charge the battery cartridge for 8 hours. Back-UPS runtime is
reduced until the battery cartridge is fully charged.

Battery has reached the end of its life.

Replace battery cartridge (see Order Replacement Battery
Cartridge).

Red Replace Battery indicator is
flashing. Green On Line indicator
is on.

Internal battery cartridge is not connected.

Connect battery cartridge (see Connect Battery Cartridge).

Red Replace Battery indicator is
on.

Battery has reached the end of its life.

Replace the battery cartridge (see Order Replacement Battery
Cartridge).

Red Overload indicator is on or
flashing.

Connected equipment is drawing more power than
the Back-UPS can provide.

Move one or more equipment power plugs from Battery Backup
outlets to Surge Only outlets.

Green On Line indicator is on and
all other front panel indicators are
flashing.

Internal UPS fault.

TRANSFER VOLTAGE AND SENSITIVITY
ADJUSTMENT
In situations where the Back-UPS or connected equipment appears too sensitive to input
voltage, it may be necessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a simple task requiring
use of the front panel pushbutton. To adjust the transfer voltage, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in a Standby
Mode (no indicators lit).
2. Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the
Back-UPS will flash to acknowledge going into Programming Mode.
3. The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Lower Transfer Voltage, as shown in the
following table.
Indicators Lit

Lower Transfer Voltage
Sensitivity

Use When

1

78 Vac
Low

Use only for extreme conditions of low
input voltage. Not recommended for
computer loads.

2

83 Vac
Medium

Back-UPS frequently goes On Battery
due to low input voltage.

3

88 Vac
High
(factory default)

Connected equipment is sensitive to
low voltage (recommended).

REPLACE BATTERY CARTRIDGE

Consult the Troubleshooting section to eliminate common problems.
If the problem persists, go to http://www.apc.com/support/.
