Battery Safety
CAUTION
RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE
• Replace the battery at least every 5 years or at the end of its service life, whichever is earlier.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-temperature condition, or when there is evidence
of electrolyte leakage. Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the
UPS until the batteries have been replaced.
• *Replace all battery modules (including the modules in External Battery Packs) which are older than one year, when
installing additional battery packs or replacing the battery module(s).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury and equipment damage.
* Contact APC by Schneider Electric Worldwide Customer Support to determine the age of the installed battery modules.
• Servicing of user replaceable batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable
about batteries and required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. In this case,
batteries is not user replace.
• APC by Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free sealed Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and
handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the batteries. Over charging, over heating or
other misuse of batteries can result in a discharge of battery electrolyte.
• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
• 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.
– Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
– Use tools with insulated handles.
– Wear rubber gloves and boots.
Internal
– Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded
battery can result in electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be
reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance by a skilled person.
• Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
Product Description
The APC by Schneider Electric Easy UPS is a high performance, uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The UPS helps
to provide protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges and small
utility fluctuations and large disturbances. The UPS also provides battery backup power for connected equipment until
utility power returns to normal levels or the batteries are fully discharged.

Operation
Using The Display
These Easy UPS models are equipped with an intuitive and configurable LCD display. This display complements the
software interface as they convey similar information and either may be used to configure the UPS settings.
The display consists of the following keys and indicators:
On Line: The UPS is drawing utility power and performing double conversion to supply
power to the connected equipment.
On Battery: The UPS is supplying battery backup power to the connected equipment.
Replace Battery: The battery is not connected securely or the battery is nearing the end of
its service life and should be replaced.
Bypass: The UPS is in bypass mode, sending utility power directly to connected equipment.
Bypass mode operation is the result of an internal UPS event or an overload condition.
Battery operation is not available while the UPS is in bypass mode. See “Alerts and
Notifications” on page 13 in this manual.
System Alarms: An internal error is detected. See “Alerts and Notifications” on page 12 in
this manual.
ALARM
Overload: The equipment connected to the UPS is drawing more power than the UPS
rating.
Battery Charge: The battery charge level is indicated by the number of illuminated bar
sections. When all five blocks are illuminated, the battery is fully charged. Each bar
represents approximately 20% of the battery charge capacity.
Load Level: The load percentage is indicated by the number of illuminated load bar
sections. Each bar represents approximately 20% of the maximum load capacity.
Internal
Mute: An illuminated line through the icon indicates that the audible alarm is disabled.
Green Mode: An illuminated icon indicates that the unit is working in Green mode. The
connected equipment is receiving the utility input directly as long as the input voltage and
frequency are within the configured limits.
Alarm or notification: The UPS has detected an internal error or the UPS is in
configuration mode. See “Alerts and Notifications” on page 12 in this manual.
Event: The icon is illuminated when the user is viewing the event log.
