Product Description
The APC™ by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS™ is a high performance uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The
UPS provides protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges, small
utility power fluctuations and large disturbances. The UPS also provides battery backup power for connected
equipment until utility power returns to safe levels or the batteries are fully discharged.
This user manual is available on the enclosed Documentation CD and on the APC by Schneider Electric Web site,
www.apc.com.
The addition of this symbol to a Caution product safety label indicates that a hazard exists that can
result in injury and product damage if the instructions are not followed.
The following safety messages may appear throughout this manual to warn of potential hazards
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can result in equipment damage.
Read the Safety Guide supplied with this unit before installing the UPS.
• Adhere to all local and national electrical codes.
• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or
humidity.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
• The battery typically lasts for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.
• Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
• The batteries are heavy. Remove the batteries prior to installing the UPS in a rack.
• Refer to “Specifications” on page 2 for UPS and battery weight.

Operation
Note: The UPS will charge to 90% capacity in the first three hours of normal operation.
Do not expect full battery runtime capability during this initial charge period.
CAUTION
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Adhere to all local and national electrical codes.
• Wiring should be performed by qualified electrician.
• Always connect the UPS to a grounded outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage

On Line: The UPS is supplying conditioned utility power to connected equipment.
Green mode: The UPS is operating at the most efficient level, bypassing unused AVR
components while acceptable utility voltage is present. The UPS will enter and exit
Green mode automatically and will not compromise power protection.
Load Capacity: The load capacity percentage is indicated by the number of load bar
sections illuminated. Each bar represents 20% of the load capacity.
Estimated Run Time / Min: This indicates the battery runtime minutes that remain if
the UPS switches to battery power.
Battery Charge: The battery charge level is indicated by the number of load bar
sections illuminated. When all five blocks are illuminated, the battery is fully charged.
Each bar represents 20% of the battery charge capacity.
Overload: The equipment connected to the UPS is drawing more power than the
voltage rating allows.
Event: The event counter indicates the number of events that occurred to cause the
UPS to switch to battery operation.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR): The UPS has an AVR boost and trim feature
that automatically regulates high or low levels of input voltage without using battery
power. The UPS also features AVR Bypass which temporarily deactivates the AVR
circuitry when the input voltage is within normal range. This conserves battery power
and helps to maximize battery life.
When illuminated, the UPS is compensating for low input voltage.
System Fault: An internal system fault has occurred. The fault number will illuminate
on the display. Refer to “Display interface features” on page 9.
Mute: An illuminated line through the icon indicates that audible alarms are disabled.
Battery Fault: The icon will flash to indicate that the battery is disconnected.
When the icon remains continuously illuminated the UPS has failed a Self-Test or the
battery is near the end of its service life and should be replaced.
Refer to “LCD status indicators” on page 7.
On Battery: The UPS is supplying battery backup power to the connected equipment.
