PowerChute® Personal Edition Software
Overview
Use PowerChute Personal Edition software to configure the UPS settings.
Protect your computer and other equipment during a power outage. During a power outage, PowerChute will save any open files on your computer and safely shut it down. When power is restored, it will restart the computer.
Configure the UPS to use features such as power-saving outlets, shutdown configuration, and alarms.
Monitor the UPS for power usage and power events.
Note: PowerChute is only compatible with a Windows operating system. If you are using a Mac OSX, use the native shutdown feature to protect your system. See the documentation provided with your computer.
Installation
Use a USB cable to connect the Data port on the rear panel of the UPS to the USB port on your computer.
If the Back-UPS came with a PowerChute CD, insert the CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions
If the Back-UPS did not come with a PowerChute CD, go to www.apc.com and download the software free of charge.
Turn On the Back-UPS
Press the POWER ON button located on the top of the Back-UPS. The Power On/ Replace Battery LED will illuminate and a single short beep will be audible to indicate that the Back-UPS is providing protection for connected equipment.
The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 16 hours while connected to utility power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the Back-UPS is switched on or off and is connected to utility power. Do not expect full battery run capability during the initial charge time.
If the red Building Wiring Fault LED located on the side of the Back-UPS illuminates, do not operate the Back-UPS. Have a qualified electrician correct the building wiring fault.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment (optional)
The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to protect 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.
1.Connect the Back-UPS to a wall outlet. The Back-UPS will be in Standby mode, no indicators will be illuminated.
2.Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The OnLine LED will illuminate alternately green-amber-red, to indicate that the Back-UPS is in
Program mode.
3.The Power On/Replace Battery LED will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
4.To select LOW sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes green.
5.To select MEDIUM sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes red.
6.To select HIGH sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes amber.
7.To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish. Program mode is no longer active.
