This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and
maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damages.
This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
Mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS shall be installed near the UPS and shall be easily
accessible.
UPS must be connected to an earthed mains socket outlet.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about
batteries and required precautions. In this case, batteries is not user-replaceable.
When replacing battery the UPS must be OFF, and its AC inlet unplugged.
CAUTION Do not dispose of batteries in a re. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte that is toxic and harmful to the skin
and eyes.
Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
CAUTION A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries.
a. Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
b. Use tools with insulated handles.
c. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
f. Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood
of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

Place and Power On
1. Place the Back-UPS to avoid:
Direct sunlight
Excessive heat
Excessive moisture
Excessive dust/dirt
For operation, please place the unit on the floor.
2. Connect the battery by pulling the battery handle up,
and then pushing it into the unit.
3. Connect equipment to the UPS. Avoid using extension cords.
4. Plug the Back-UPS power cord directly into a wall outlet, not into a surge protector or power strip.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the unit.
The green “Power On” indicator confirms that the Back-UPS is on and ready to provide protection.
The Back-UPS should charge for at least 24 hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is being
charged whenever it is connected to AC power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.
Operational Features
Automatic Voltage Regulation boosts/trims the AC voltage when it drops/exceeds levels. This allows
the equipment plugged into the unit to operate during low/high voltage conditions, conserving the
battery power in the event of a power cut. The Back-UPS will switch to battery power if the input
voltage level becomes too low/high for the Automatic Voltage Regulation to compensate, or if the AC
power is distorted.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
PowerChute Personal Edition Software
TM
To install PowerChute Personal Edition (PCPE) software, connect a USB cable to the data port on the
UPS and the other end to a computer with access to the web.
On the computer, go to www.apc.com/tools/download. Select “Software Upgrades - PowerChute
Personal Edition” in the “Filter by Software/Firmware” drop down menu. Select the appropriate
operating system. Follow directions to download the software.
The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable audible alarms such as On Battery. During
such audible alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will temporarily mute
the audible 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.
Quick Mute
Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment
The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions in PCPE by transferring to battery backup
power to improve protection of connected equipment. In situations where either the Back-UPS or the
connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level, it is necessary to adjust the transfer
voltage. Refer to user guide of PowerChute Personal Edition.

Troubleshooting
Detected Problem and Possible Cause
The Back-UPS will not turn on
The Back-UPS has not been turned on.
Solution
Press the ON/OFF button.
Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the
wall outlet, and that there is AC power available at the
wall outlet. Where applicable, check that the wall
outlet is switched on.
Remove all nonessential equipment connected to the
outlets. One at a time reconnect equipment to the
Back-UPS.
Charge the battery for 24 hours to make sure it is fully
charged. If the overload condition still occurs, replace
the battery.
The Back-UPS is not connected to AC
power, there is no AC power available at the
wall outlet, or the AC power is experiencing a
brownout or over voltage condition.
The battery is disconnected.
Connected equipment loses power
A Back-UPS overload condition has
occurred.
The Back-UPS battery is completely
discharged.
The Back-UPS may require service.
The Back-UPS is operating on battery
power.
The Back-UPS battery has
approximately empty and will shutdown
The ON/OFF button is green and ashing every 30 seconds. 4 beeps repeated every 30 seconds.
The ON/OFF button ashes green and constant beeps every 1/2 second.
Connected equipment does not accept the
step-approximated sine waveform from the
Back-UPS.
Refer to the “Place and Power On” on page 3.
Connect the Back-UPS to AC power and allow
the battery to recharge for ten hours.
Contact Schneider Electric Technical Support for
more in depth troubleshooting
The Back-UPS is operating normally on battery
power. At this point the user should save all open les,
and shutdown the computer. When AC power is
restored the battery will recharge.
The Back-UPS battery is near a total discharge
state. At this point the user should save all open les,
and shutdown the computer. When AC power is
restored the battery will recharge.
The output waveform is intended for computers and
peripheral devices. It is not intended for use with motor
driven equipment.
The Back-UPS has an inadequate battery runtime
The battery is not fully charged.
The battery is near the end of useful life and
should be replaced.
Leave the Back-UPS connected to AC power for
ten hours while the battery charges to full capacity.
As a battery ages, the runtime capability decreases.
The UPS have shut down due to low battery,
but control power exists.
The UPS and outlets are but the UPS keeps beeping once every 4 seconds. The alarm off audible
will mute after 32 seconds.
The UPS will return to normal operation once the
AC input voltage has returned to a normal range.
