2. Impostazione

2.1 Disimballaggio e posizionamento

Carefully unpack the UPS and inspect it for any shipping damage. Place the UPS in a location that is clean, dry, and away from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The tower form factor allows for vertical placement.

2.2 Collegamento all'alimentazione

1. Connect the UPS power cord to a grounded 3-prong outlet. The power cord is approximately 5 feet long, providing flexibility for placement.
2. Lasciare caricare l'UPS per almeno 24 ore prima di collegare apparecchiature critiche per garantire la piena capacità della batteria.
3. Observe the Building Wiring Fault Indicator. If this LED illuminates, it indicates a potential wiring problem in the wall circuit that should be addressed by a qualified electrician.

2.3 Apparecchiatura di collegamento

The UPS features both battery-protected and surge-only outlets.

• Battery-Protected Outlets (NEMA 5-15R): Connect critical equipment such as computers, monitors, and network devices (modems, routers) to these outlets. These outlets provide power during outage protezione contro le sovratensioni.
• Surge-Only Outlets (NEMA 5-15R): Connect non-critical equipment like printers, scanners, or desk lamps to these outlets. These outlets provide surge protection but do not offer battery backup during a power failure.

2.4 Data Line Protection

Connect your telephone, network, or coaxial cables through the designated ports on the UPS to protect against surges traveling through these lines.

2.5 USB and Serial Connectivity

For advanced management and monitoring, connect the UPS to your computer using the provided USB or serial cable. Install the appropriate power management software (available from APC's website) to configure settings, monitor power conditions, and perform graceful shutdowns.

2.6 Montaggio a parete

The unit can be wall-mounted using the keyhole slots on the back. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the UPS and that proper fasteners are used.

3. Funzionamento

3.1 Accensione/Spegnimento

• To power on the UPS, press the power button located on the front panel.
• To power off the UPS, press and hold the power button until the unit shuts down.

3.2 LCD Graphics Display

The LCD display provides real-time information about the UPS status, including:

• Livello di carico: Indica la percentualetage della capacità dell'UPS utilizzata dalle apparecchiature collegate.
• Stato online: Shows when the UPS is operating on utility power.
• Tempo di esecuzione stimato: Displays the approximate remaining battery runtime in minutes during a power outage.
• AVR Status: Indicates when Automatic Voltage Regulation is actively correcting input voltage senza utilizzare la batteria.
• Parametri di sistema: Provides details on input/output voltage, frequency, and battery charge level.
• Allarmi: Notifies of critical events or warnings.

3.3 Volume automaticotage Regolamento (AVR)

The Boost and Trim AVR feature automatically corrects minor voltage fluctuations (sags and surges) in incoming utility power without switching to battery power. This preserves battery life and ensures a stable power supply to your connected devices.

3.4 Potenza in uscitatage Risposta

Durante un'interruzione di correntetage, the UPS automatically switches to battery power, providing uninterrupted power to devices connected to the battery-protected outlets. Audible alarms will sound to notify you of the power event. The estimated run time will be displayed on the LCD.

3.5 Green Mode and Power-Saving Outlets

The Green Mode optimizes efficiency by bypassing internal components when utility power is stable. Power-saving outlets can be configured to automatically turn off connected devices when the master device (e.g., your computer) is turned off or goes into standby, reducing energy consumption.

4. Manutenzione

4.1 Cura e sostituzione della batteria

The UPS features user-replaceable and hot-swappable batteries, allowing for replacement without powering down connected equipment.
