The APC Smart-UPS VA has the following certifications: CSA, FCC Part 15 Class A, UL , RoHS 7b.
It takes 3 h to charge the battery of the APC Smart-UPS VA.
Ensure that the UPS is securely connected to a working power outlet and that the power switch on the rear panel is in the ON position. Check the input power source and verify that it is providing a sufficient voltage within the acceptable range for the UPS to start.
Continuous beeping typically indicates that the UPS is experiencing an overload condition. Check if you have connected too many devices exceeding the capacity of the UPS. Remove non-essential equipment from the UPS outlets, or consider redistributing the load across multiple UPS units, if available.
On the UPS front panel, press the 'Display' button to cycle through the available information until you reach the battery status indicator. The battery status will indicate whether the battery is in good health, needs replacement, or requires attention. Additionally, a solid amber LED near the battery replace indicator suggests that the battery needs replacement.
Review the power consumption of the devices connected to the UPS and verify if it exceeds the UPS capacity. Reduce the load on the UPS by disconnecting non-essential equipment or prioritizing critical devices. Additionally, check the battery status as mentioned in Q3 and consider replacing the battery if needed.
Press and hold the 'Silence Alarm' button on the front panel of the UPS for a few seconds until the alarm stops. However, it is important to investigate the underlying cause of the alarm to ensure you are aware of any potential issues with the UPS or connected equipment.
Yes. This means that the UPS is equipped with a mechanism that allows for immediate shutdown in case of an emergency, providing extra safety and peace of mind.
The nominal input voltage is V. This means that the UPS is designed to work with electrical systems that have a nominal voltage of V.
Yes. This feature allows users to replace batteries while the UPS is still running, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous power supply.
The typical backup time at half load is minutes. This indicates that the UPS can provide uninterrupted power for an extended period, allowing users to continue their work without disruptions.
The dimensions of the UPS are x x mm. This compact size allows for easy installation and placement in various environments, making it a versatile choice for different setups.
