12 INSTALL SOFTWARE ON
COMPUTER There are four status indicators (lights) on the front
panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On Battery, Overload,
and Replace Battery).
On Line (green) - is lit whenever utility power is
powering the Battery Backup outlets.
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.
Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button
located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will
stick out if an overload condition forces the Back-
UPS 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 con-
nected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its use-
ful 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.
Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full
eight (8) hours prior to use.
Press the front panel Power ON/OFF switch and
observe that the following events occur after
pressing and releasing the switch:
• The green On Line indicator flashes.
• The yellow On Battery indicator lights while
a Self-Test is being performed.
• When Self-Test has successfully completed,
only the green On Line indicator will be lit.
• 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.
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.
NOTE: Macintosh Users - for full USB performance,
use OS 9.22 or higher.
If Autoplay is not enabled on the computer, proceed
as follows:
1. On the computer desktop of the display, double-
click on My Computer.
2. Double-click on the CD-ROM drive icon and
follow the on-screen instructions.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action
Back-UPS will not switch on. Back-UPS not connected to AC power source. 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. Consider adjusting the transfer voltage and sensitivity. See
Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Adjustment.
Back-UPS does not power
essential equipment during an
outage.
Equipment plugged into a Surge Only outlet. Unplug device from 'Surge Only' outlet and move to a 'Battery
Backup' outlet.
Back-UPS operates on battery
although utility power exists.
Back-UPS circuit breaker “tripped”. 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.
Utility input voltage quality is out of range. Consider adjusting the transfer voltage and sensitivity. See
Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Adjustment.
Back-UPS does not provide
expected backup time.
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

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. Contact APC Technical Support (see Contact Information).

LIMITED WARRANTY
The standard warranty is two (2) years from the date of purchase. APC’s 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 APC Technical Support representative. APC 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 APC. APC pays ground freight transportation costs to ship the replacement
unit to the customer.
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.
4. To select 78 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 1 indicator
is flashing.
5. To select 83 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 2
indicators are flashing.
6. To select 88 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 3
indicators are flashing.
7. Once in Programming Mode, if the pushbutton is not pressed within 5 seconds, the
Back-UPS will exit Programming Mode; all indicators will extinguish.
