Frequently Asked Questions - APPUPS7 Approx

How to install the APPUPS7?

Plug the UPS directly into a wall outlet, then connect your devices (computer, monitor) to the output sockets. Turn it on and wait 6 hours for the first full battery charge.

How long does the battery last on the APPUPS7?

The battery generally lasts 2 to 3 years depending on usage cycles. It provides approximately 10 minutes of autonomy at full load (420W).

How to replace the battery of the APPUPS7?

Unplug the UPS, remove the front panel, disconnect the connectors of the defective battery and replace it with an identical battery (12V 7Ah). Close carefully. If you are not comfortable, call a professional.

The APPUPS7 beeps, what should I do?

A continuous or regular beep indicates a power failure or low battery. If the problem persists after a restart, check the battery or replace it.

Can I plug a vacuum cleaner or refrigerator into the APPUPS7?

No, the APPUPS7 is designed for computer equipment (computers, monitors, routers). Motor appliances (vacuum cleaner, fridge) cause overloads.

Does the APPUPS7 require specific software?

Yes, Approx provides monitoring and automatic shutdown software (downloadable from the Approx website) that connects via the USB port.

What if the APPUPS7 does not turn on?

Check that the wall outlet works and that the power cord is properly inserted. If the problem persists, press the power button for 3 seconds. Otherwise, contact customer service.

How to clean the APPUPS7?

Unplug the UPS and use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Never use liquid or solvent.

Does the APPUPS7 protect against surges?

Yes, it includes a surge protector and noise filter to protect your devices from voltage variations and spikes.

Can I stack other devices on the APPUPS7?

No, do not place anything on the UPS as it needs ventilation through the side and rear grilles. Keep at least 10 cm of free space.

INTRODUCCIÓN

A. Function: This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides clean, reliable, AC power to your computer and peripherals and protects them from power blackouts, brownouts, sags, surges and interference.

B. Functional Description: Normally, the UPS operates on Mains, supplying power to the load from the utility input. The battery charger uses the Mains power to keep the battery an optimal level. When the power fails, the UPS transfer the load to the battery. The UPS converts the battery's DC power to AC power. The load operate normally until shutdown or until the battery is exhausted. The load is automatically transferred back to the utility when the normal Mains restores. The UPS also provides surge protection and RFI filtering as well as output voltage regulation which increases undervoltage and reduces over voltage conditions. The optional software allows UPS to communicate with computer for auto shutdown.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

A. Always connect the UPS to a two-pole, three-wire grounding Mains socket. The socket must be connected to appropriately protected branch of Mains (fuse/ circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of socket may result in a shock hazard.

B. This UPS has got battery inside which acts as an energy source and output may be available even when the unit is not connected to a Mains supply.

C. To Switch off the UPS output in an emergency, use the switch on front to switch the UPS off. And disconnect the power cord from the Mains.

D. Avoid installing the UPS where there is water or excessive humidity. The unit should be kept away from heat-emitting appliances such as a heater, blower, oven, etc. Exposure to direct sun should be avoided. The place of installation should be well-ventilated and easily accessible fro servicing.

E. Water or foreign objects should not get inside the UPS. Do not put objects containing liquid on or near the unit.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

A. THE FRONT PANEL

a. LED: See under Alarms & LED indications Section for details.
b. UPS ON SWITCH:

To turn ON/OFF the UPS, press the switch for two seconds to acknowledge. If Mains is available and switch is OFF, no output would be available to the loads but charging would continue. This switch also works as a reset in case of Battery Shut Down.

B. THE BACK PANEL

APPUPS7

APPUPS9

a. INPUT 3 CORE LEAD: Connects to commercial Mains (single phase).
CAUTION: Neutral shall be on left. Phase shall be on right and hand side of wall socket.
b. INPUT FUSE: Connects the commercial Mains to UPS.
c. OUTPUT SOCKETS: UPS output is available at these sockets.

On receiving the UPS, inspect it and inform the carrier and dealer if you find any transit damage. The packaging can be saved for future use.

B. Placement

UPS shall be kept at a place which is protected from dust, water, temperature and humidity should be within specified limits.

C. Installation

Input can be connected to a 3 pin wall socket which is having low impedance earth. Neutral shall be on left and phase shall be on right hand side of the socket.

CAUTION: Do not connect any Voltage correction device like a Ferro Resonant Transformer or AVR or loads such as fluorescent lamps etc. to the output of the UPS.

D. Battery Charging

The UPS charges the battery whenever it is connected to normal Mains power. For normal backup, charge the battery for 4 hours before use. UPS can be used even without charging the battery, but on battery, run time may be reduced until the battery has recharged.

E. Load Connection

Connect the load to the output socket on the rear panel (cables not included).

F. Turning ON the UPS

To supply to the loads, switch On the UPS switch, on front panel. Wait for 2-3 seconds and then switch On the loads.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) ACTION RECOMMENDED
The Mains supply is present butA) The Green indication is off. The UPS is working on battery (UPS on, Orange is glowing).B) No output is availableC) UPS some times transfers to battery Computer equipment operates normally and normal Mains is supposed to be present.	a1 Line plug is loose.a2 Dead wall socket.a3 Input fuse blown off.a4 Mains is out of range (140V-290V)b1 Loose connection at output socket.b2 Battery has exhausted.b3 Short Circuit Trip in Battery mode.C UPS is briefly transferring your equipment to battery because of short duration undervoltage and overvoltage conditions.	a1 Fit the line cord plug properlya2 Check the socket with any lamp etc.a3 Replace the fuse.a4 Wait for normal Mains to restore.b1 Tighten the connection.b2 Reset the UPS On switch after restoration of normal Mains.b3 Check the Computer or Contact authorised dealer.C This is normal, UPS is protecting your equipment from abnormal voltages.
UPS does not provide expected backup time and low battery warning is sounded prematurely	1 Excessive loads connected at output sockets of the UPS.2 Loading much less than full rated capacity will increase low battery warning interval.	1 Remove excessive load or charge battery as required.2 Recharge the battery by leaving the UPS plugged in for 4 hrs. Don't discharge battery during this period. If UPS still sounds low battery warning prematurely when retested, replace battery or contact authorised dealer.
Low battery warning interval changes during different power outages.	1 Excessive loads connected to UPS or low battery capacity due to consecutive utility outages will reduce low battery warning interval2 Loading much less than full rated capacity will increase low battery warning interval.	1 Remove excessive load or charge battery as required.2 There is nothing abnormal about it.
