Replacing the Battery
This UPS has an easy to replace hot-swappable battery. Battery replacement is a safe procedure, isolated from electrical hazards. You may leave the UPS and loads on for the following procedure. See your dealer or call
the number in this manual for information on replacement battery kits.
Note: Please read the cautions in the APC Safety Guide.
Once the battery is disconnected, the loads are not protected from power outages.
Battery Replacement Procedure - 2200 - 3000 VA Models
1. Grasp the top edge of the bottom front cover and tilt it out.
2. Unhook the bottom section of the front cover from the chassis and set it aside.
3. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or a coin to remove the two battery door screws and
open the door.
4.
Grip the wires for the front set of batteries and pull firmly to disconnect the
connector from the battery compartment.
5. Pull the white cord on the front battery connector to remove the batteries.
6. Set aside the foam spacer located between the batteries.
7. Reach into the battery compartment and grasp the white cord on the other battery
connector. Pull firmly to disconnect the connector and remove the second set of
batteries.
Note: Be careful removing the batteries - they are heavy.
8. Slide the first set of new batteries into the unit. Hold the connector down below
the top of the batteries and toward the door, otherwise the assembly will not fit.
Guide the connector over the top of the batteries and press firmly to connect it
to the rear connector of the battery compartment.
Note: Small sparks at the battery connectors are normal during connection.
9. Set the foam spacer against the rear batteries to prevent the wires from being
pinched.
10. Slide the second set of batteries in, then guide the connector over the batteries
and press firmly to connect it to the front connector of the battery compartment.
11. Close the battery door, replace the screws, and replace the lower front cover.
12. Dispose of the old battery properly at an appropriate recycling facility or return
it to the supplier in the packing material for the new battery. See the new battery
instructions for more information.
Battery Replacement Procedure - 450 - 1400 VA Models
1. Grasp the top of the front cover and tilt it out and down.
2. Unhook the bottom of the cover from the chassis and lift it upward to expose the
battery door. Be careful not to strain the ribbon cable. Do not touch the exposed
printed circuit board.
3. Fold the front cover on top of the UPS as shown.
4. Use a flat-blade screwdriver or a coin to remove the two battery door screws and
open the door.
Grasp the tab and gently pull the battery out of the UPS.

450 - 1000 VA
5. Disconnect the battery leads.
For the 450 through 1000 VA models, loosen the connectors by gently
wiggling them while pulling straight back from the battery connector.
For the 1400 VA model, pull the two gray couplers apart to disconnect the
battery.
6. Connect the battery leads to the new battery.
Note: Small sparks at the battery connectors are normal during connection.
For the 450 through 1000 VA models, connect the red wire to the positive (+)
terminal and the black wire to the negative (–) terminal.
For the 1400 VA model, connect the gray battery coupler to the UPS’s coupler.
7. Slide the battery into the UPS.
8. Close the battery door, replace the battery compartment screws, and replace the
front cover.
9. Dispose of the old battery properly at an appropriate recycling facility or return it
to the supplier in the packing material for the new battery. See the new battery
instructions for more information.

Minimum Capacity Before
Return from Shutdown
0 percent 15, 50, 90 percent The UPS will charge its batteries to
the specified percentage before return
from a shutdown.
Sensitivity Normal Reduced, Low Set lower than normal sensitivity to
avoid lowered battery capacity and
service life in situations where the
load can tolerate minor power
disturbances.
Duration of Low Battery
Warning
2 minutes 5, 7, 10 minutes Sets the time before shutdown at
which the UPS issues a low battery
warning. Set higher than the default
only if the OS needs the time for
graceful shutdown.
Alarm Delay After Line Fail 5 second delay 30 second delay, At Low
Battery Condition, No
Alarm
To avoid alarms for minor power
glitches, set the alarm delay.
Shutdown Delay 20 seconds 180, 300, 600 seconds Sets the interval between when the
UPS receives a shutdown command
and when shutdown occurs.
Synchronized Turn-on Delay 0 seconds 60, 180, 300 seconds To avoid branch circuit overload, the
UPS will wait the specified time after
the return of utility power before
turn-on.
High Transfer Point 132 VAC 135, 138, 129 VAC To avoid unnecessary battery usage,
set the High Transfer Point higher if
the utility voltage is chronically high
and the load is known to work well
under this condition.
Low Transfer Point 103 VAC 100, 97, 106 VAC Set the Low Transfer Point lower if
the utility voltage is chronically low
and the load can tolerate this
condition.

Service
If the UPS requires service do not return it to the dealer!
Follow these steps:
1. Use the Troubleshooting section of the Quick Reference Guide to eliminate common problems.
2. Verify that no circuit breakers are tripped. A tripped circuit breaker is the most common UPS problem!
3. If the problem persists, call customer service or visit the APC Internet Website (www.apcc.com).
Note the model number of the UPS, the serial number, and the date purchased. A technician will ask
you to describe the problem and try to solve it over the phone, if possible. If this is not possible the
technician will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA#).
If the UPS is under warranty, repairs are free. If not, there is a repair charge.
4. Pack the UPS in its original packaging. If the original packing is not available, ask customer service
about obtaining a new set.
Pack the UPS properly to avoid damage in transit. Never use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Damage
sustained in transit is not covered under warranty.
Include a letter with your name, RMA#, address, copy of the sales receipt, description of the trouble,
your daytime phone number, and a check (if necessary).
5. Mark the RMA# on the outside of the package.
6. Return the UPS by insured, prepaid carrier to the address given to you by Customer Service.
