• CAUTION Risk of Energy Hazard. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• CAUTION Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
• CAUTION 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.
  •  Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
  • Do not wear any metal objects including watches and rings.

Product Description

The Schneider Electric Back-UPS offers power and surge protection for wireless networks, computers, gaming consoles and other electronics in your business. This UPS supply battery backup during outages and unstable voltage fluctuations, as well as provide protection from damaging surges and spikes. It’s equipped with data line surge protection which safeguards your equipment and valuable files from “back door” surges traveling along data line. They are the choice helps to protect your sensitive electronics

Place and Power On

1. Place the Back-UPS to avoid:
   1. Direct sunlight
   2. Excessive heat
   3. Excessive moisture
   4. Excessive dust/dirt
2. For operation, please place the unit on the floor.
3. Connect the battery by pulling the battery handle up, and then pushing it into the unit.
4. Connect equipment to the UPS. Avoid using extension cords.
5. Plug the Back-UPS power cord directly into a wall outlet, not into a surge protector or power strip. Please use incidental power cord in the package.
6. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the unit.
   The white “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.
7. DO NOT pull out the battery disconnector during On Line Mode.

Operational Features

• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
• 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.

Quick Mute

The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable audible alarms such as On Battery. During such audible alarms, a short press 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 events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment

Ensure the Back-UPS is off. Press and hold the POWER button for 10 seconds until a beep is heard. The LED will flash and sensitivity LOW is set. If press and hold the POWER button for 10 seconds again, the LED will be on and sensitivity MEDIUM is set.

LED Brightness Setting

The Back-UPS is able to control LED brightness. During On Line Mode, a short press of the POWER button will dim the LED brightness and heard a beep. Press one more time, the LED brightness will return again.

Self-Test

The Back-UPS will perform an automatic test of the internal battery when UPS is turned on or UPS operates in On Line Mode for 14 days. During On Line Mode, a longer press of the POWER button until three beeps are heard will perform a manual battery self-test. Then, the LED will flash and UPS will enter self-test mode.
Note: This will happen only when battery is fully charged in On Line Mode.
