Thank you for purchasing APC’s Line-R Automatic Voltage Regulator! Please fill out and
mail the product warranty registration form, or fill out an online form at www.apc.com.
The Line-R automatically corrects brownouts (by boosting low voltage) and overvoltages (by
stepping down high voltage) from the power utility service to levels that are safe for computers,
as well as other sensitive equipment. APC’s Line-R provides the highest degree of protection
from line voltage sags and swells, and has been designed for many years of reliable,
maintenance-free service.
Applications
CAUTION: The total power consumption of all equipment plugged into the Line-R must not
exceed the “Maximum Output Power Capacity” rating listed in the Specifications table. A total
load in excess of this rating will cause the power switch/circuit breaker to “trip”.
The Line-R is designed for use with voltage sensitive equipment such as a: computer, monitor,
inkjet printer, scanner or fax. It is also designed for use with home electronics (TVs, stereos,
CD players, etc.).
Appliances not suitable for use with the Line-R are items such as refrigerators, freezers, power
tools, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, blenders, or any device that employs an AC motor for
operation. Not for use with life sustaining equipment and any device with a power requirement
exceeding the “Maximum Output Power Capacity” rating listed in the Specifications table.
Features
ON/OFF Power Switch/Circuit Breaker
The Line-R provides an ON/OFF power switch/circuit breaker which functions as the master
power switch for the Line-R and all devices connected to the device. It also functions as a
circuit breaker to protect the unit from being overloaded. If the circuit breaker “trips”, unplug
the last device connected to the unit, turn the power switch/circuit breaker to the OFF position,
place the power switch/circuit breaker to the ON position.

Installation
• Placement - Please install the Line-R in a protected environment free of excessive dust,
mechanical vibration, inflammable gases and explosive or corrosive atmospheres.
Do not block the top or side air vents on the unit. Allow 1 inch (2.5 cm) minimum vent
clearance.
• Select Input Voltage - The Line-R provides a three-position User Selectable Voltage
Switch for adjusting the input voltage for the region where it is being used (example: Mexico
- 127V, United States - 120V, or Jamaica - 110V). Slide the switch to select the proper
voltage for your location.
• Plug the Line-R into Wall Outlet - Plug the Line-R into a grounded AC wall outlet. If the
Building Wiring Fault Indicator is lit, the building wiring presents a potential shock hazard
and should be serviced by a qualified electrician before putting this device into service. The
Line-R should only be used in buildings having proper grounding, with conductors protected
by fuses or circuit breakers.
• Connect Your Equipment - Plug equipment into the Line-R rear-panel outlets and switch
the equipment ON. The equipment will not be powered until the Line-R is switched ON.
CAUTION: The total power consumption of all equipment plugged into the Line-R must not
exceed the ratings listed in the Specifications table below. A total load in excess of the listed
ratings will cause the ON/OFF power switch/circuit breaker to “trip”.
• Switch ON the Line-R - Press the front panel ON/OFF power switch/circuit breaker to the
ON (l) position. This switch may be used as the master ON/OFF switch for the device and all
equipment connected to the unit.
