Troubleshooting
Problem Probable Cause Solution
Back-UPS ES will not turn
on.
The battery is disconnected, and either power is
unavailable at the wall outlet, or utility power is
having a “brownout” or an “over voltage”
condition.
Connect the battery (see Connect Battery) and ensure power is available at the wall outlet. If
battery is connected and power is unavailable, the unit can be “cold started” (operated on
battery power) by holding the power button down until two beeps are heard.
No power available at the
Surge Protection outlets.
Surge Protection outlets were overloaded. Reduce the amount of equipment plugged into the Surge Protection outlets.
Utility power not available at the wall outlet. Ensure the fuse or circuit breaker for the outlet is not tripped, and that the wall switch
controlling the outlet (if any) is in the ON position.
Back-UPS is on, but
Replace Battery indicator
flashes, and unit emits a
constant tone.
Battery is disconnected. Connect the battery (see Connect Battery diagram).
Connected equipment
loses power.
Equipment is connected to the “Surge Protection”
outlets.
Ensure the equipment you want to stay powered during a power failure is plugged into the
“Battery Backup plus Surge Protection” outlets and NOT the “Surge Protection Only” outlets.
The Back-UPS ES is overloaded.
Make sure the equipment plugged into the outlets of the unit are not overloading its capacity. Try
removing some of the equipment and see if the problem continues.
PowerChute Personal Edition software has
performed a shutdown due to a power failure.
The Back-UPS ES is operating normally.
The Back-UPS ES has exhausted its available
battery power.
The Back-UPS ES can only operate on battery power for a limited amount of time. The unit
will eventually turn off when the available battery power has been used. Allow the unit to
recharge for 16 hours before expecting maximum runtime.
Connected equipment does not accept the step-
approximated sine waveform from the Back-UPS
ES.
The output waveform is designed for computers and computer-related equipment. It is not
designed for use with motor-type equipment.
The Back-UPS ES may require service. Contact APC Technical Support for further troubleshooting.
The Power On indicator is
lit and the Back-UPS ES
beeps four times every 30
seconds.
The Back-UPS ES is On Battery. The Back-UPS ES is operating normally, and using battery power. Once On Battery, you may
want to save your current work, power down your equipment, and turn the unit OFF. Once
normal power is restored, you may turn the unit back ON, and power your equipment.
The Power On indicator
flashes and the Back-UPS
beeps twice per second at
the same time.
Battery capacity is low (about 2 minutes of use
remaining).
The Back-UPS ES is about to shut off due to a low battery charge condition! When the unit
beeps twice every second, the battery has about 2 minutes of power remaining. Immediately
power down your computer ,and turn the unit OFF. When normal power returns, the unit will
recharge the battery.
Building Wiring Fault
indicator is lit.
Your building wiring presents a shock hazard.
Using the Back-UPS with this condition will void
the warranty.
Call a qualified electrician for service.
Inadequate runtime. The battery is not fully charged. Allow the unit to charge by leaving it plugged into the wall at least 16 hours.
Battery is near the end of useful life. As a battery ages, the amount of runtime available will decrease. You can replace the battery
by ordering one at www.apc.com. Batteries also age prematurely if the Back-UPS ES is
placed near excessive heat.
No phone/fax/DSL signal
from the Back-UPS.
Data line from the ISP or wall outlet is connected
to the wrong jack on the Back-UPS.
Make sure the data line from the wall outlet is connected to the jack labeled “Wall Outlet”.
Internet connection lost
during power outage.
Modem lost AC power. Plug the modem’s AC power cord into one of the “Battery Back-up Plus Surge Protection
outlets”.
