Important Safety Messages
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. · This UPS is intended for indoor use only. · Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or humidity. · Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation. · The battery typically lasts for three to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality AC power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life. · Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
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. Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury and equipment damage. For the recycling battery information, please go to apc.com/recycle · CAUTION: Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions. · 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: Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns. · CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces. · 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.
­ 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.

PowerChuteTM Personal Edition Software
Overview
PowerChute Personal Edition Software allows you to use your computer to access additional power protection and management features of the Back-UPS.
Using PowerChute, you can:
· Preserve work in progress during a power outage by putting your computer into Hibernate mode. When the power returns, the computer will appear exactly as it did before the power outage.
· Configure the Back-UPS management features, such as power-saving outlets, shutdown parameters, audible alarms, and more. · Monitor and view the status of the Back-UPS, including the estimated runtime, power consumption, power event history, and
more. Available features will vary by Back-UPS model and operating system.
If you choose not to install PowerChute, the Back-UPS will still provide backup power and power protection to connected equipment. However, you will only be able to configure a limited number of features using the display interface.
Compatibility
PowerChute is compatible with Windows operating systems only. For a detailed list of supported operating systems, go to www.apc.com, select Software & Firmware.
For Mac operating systems, we recommend using the native shutdown application (within System Preferences) which recognizes your battery backup and allows you to configure shutdown of your system during power outages. To access this application, connect a USB cable from the Back-UPS DATA PORT (POWERCHUTE PORT) to a USB port on your computer, and see the documentation provided with your computer.
Installation
Use the USB cable to connect the Data port on the UPS to the USB and Serial port on your computer. Download PowerChuteTM Personal Edition Software from www.apc.com/pcpe. Select the appropriate operating system and follow directions to download and install the software.

Back-UPS BR1200G-GR/BR1500G-GR

Connect the Equipment
Battery Backup and Surge Protected outlets
When the Back-UPS is receiving input power, the Surge Protection only outlets and the Battery Backup with Surge Protection outlets will supply power to connected equipment. During a power outage or other utility problems, only the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the Back-UPS.
Connect equipment such as printers, FAX machines, scanners, or other peripherals that do not need battery backup power to the Surge Protection Only outlets. These outlets provide full time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS is switched off.
Master and Controlled outlets
To conserve electricity, when the device connected to Master Outlet goes into Sleep or Standby mode, or turns off, the Controlled by Master device(s) will shut down as well, saving electricity.
Connect a master device, such as a desktop computer or audio/visual receiver to the Master outlet. Connect peripheral devices such as a printer, speakers, or a scanner to the Controlled by Master outlets.

Operation
Power-Saving Function
To conserve electricity, configure the Back-UPS to recognize a Master device, such as a desktop computer or an A/ V receiver, and Controlled peripheral devices, such as a printer, speakers, or a scanner. When the Master device goes into Sleep or Standby mode, or is switched OFF, the Controlled device(s) will be switched off as well, saving electricity.

Enable the Power-Saving function. Press and hold MUTE and DISPLAY simultaneously for two seconds. The Back-UPS will beep to indicate that the feature is enabled. The leaf icon on the display will illuminate.

Disable the Power-Saving function. Press and hold MUTE and DISPLAY simultaneously for two seconds. The Back-UPS will beep to indicate that the feature is disabled. The leaf icon on the display will go dark.

Setting the threshold. The amount of power used by a device in Sleep or Standby mode varies between devices. It may be necessary to adjust the threshold at which the Master outlet signals the Controlled outlets to shut down.

1. Be sure a master device is connected to the Master outlet. Put that device into Sleep or Standby mode, or turn it OFF. 2. Press DISPLAY and MUTE simultaneously and hold for six seconds, until the leaf icon flashes three times and the Back-UPS
beeps three times.
3. The Back-UPS will now recognize the threshold level of the Master device and save it as the new threshold setting.
Power-Saving Display
The display interface can be configured to be continuously illuminated, or to save energy, it can be configured to go dark after a period of inactivity.

1. Full Time Mode: Press and hold DISPLAY for two seconds. The display will illuminate and the Back-UPS will beep to confirm the Full-Time mode.
2. Power-Saving Mode: Press and hold DISPLAY for two seconds. The display will go dark and the Back-UPS will beep to confirm the Power-Saving mode. While in Power-Saving Mode, the display will illuminate if a button is pressed, it goes dark after 60 seconds of no activity.
Unit sensitivity
Adjust the sensitivity of the Back-UPS to control when it will switch to battery power; the higher the sensitivity, the more often the Back-UPS will switch to battery power.

1. Be sure the Back-UPS is connected to A/C power, but is OFF.
2. Press and hold the POWER button for six seconds. The LOAD CAPACITY bar will flash on and off, indicating that the Back-UPS is in programming mode.
3. Press POWER again to rotate through the menu options. Stop at selected sensitivity. The Back-UPS will beep to confirm the selection.Front Panel Buttons and Display Interface
