Transfer Voltage Adjustment (optional)
Apc Back Ups Cs 500
In situations where the Back-UPS or connected equipment appears too sensitive to input voltage, it may be necessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a simple task requiring use of the front panel pushbutton. To adjust the transfer voltage, proceed as follows:
1. | Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in a Standby Mode (no | |
indicators lit). | ||
2. | Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the Back-UPS will | |
flash to acknowledge going into Programming Mode. | ||
3. | The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Lower Transfer Voltage, as shown in the following table. | |
Indicators Lit | Lower Transfer Voltage | Use When |
1 | 160 VAC | Back-UPS frequently goes On Battery due to |
low input voltage. | ||
2 | 180 VAC (factory default) | Normal power conditions exist. |
3 | 196 VAC | Connected equipment is sensitive to low voltage. |
4. | To select 160 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 1 indicator is flashing. | |
5. | To select 180 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 2 indicators are flashing. | |
6. | To select 196 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 3 indicators are flashing. | |
7. | Once in Programming Mode, if the pushbutton is not pressed within 5 seconds, the Back-UPS will | |
exit the Programming Mode, and all indicators will extinguish. |
