Specifications

Connect Equipment

Turn On the Back-UPS

Press the POWER button. It will illuminate green and a single short beep indicating that the Back-UPS is on and providing protection for connected equipment. The Back-UPS battery will charge regardless of whether the Back-UPS is switched on or off as long as it is connected to AC power. The UPS will have full runtime capability after the initial 24-hour charging period, connected to AC power.
If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located on the end near the power cord) is lit, your building wiring may present a shock hazard that should be corrected by a qualified electrician.

Quick Mute

The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable alarms such as On Battery. During such alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will temporarily mute the alarm until the condition has been reset. A short double beep will confirm that Quick Mute has been activated. Pressing the POWER button for more than 2 seconds will turn off the UPS.

Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

On Battery Indicator Modes

With the UPS turned on, configuring the On Battery Indicator modes below is done by holding down the POWER button and waiting for the third beep. At the third beep, the POWER button will cycle red / green. Release the POWER button and its color will indicate the mode the UPS is in. Press the POWER button to cycle through each mode. See the following table for the 3 mode selection colors. Once the mode has been selected, wait 5 seconds and the setting will be committed to the UPS.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment

The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back- UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.

1. Turn off the UPS while connected to a wall outlet.
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The POWER button will alternate green- red to indicate that the Back-UPS is in Program mode.
3. The POWER button will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
4. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish.
   Program mode is no longer active.

FAQS

Can you adjust the alarm settings or totally disable the alarm?

Yes, UPS’s that are connected to computers can have their sensitivity settings adjusted in the PowerChute software; also you can specify what hours you want to disable the alarm, if desired. The alarm ‘mode’ can be set via the power button.

Does BE600M1 have a replaceable battery?

When it’s time to refresh the battery, APC offers a User-replaceable battery for model BE600M1 under part # APCRBC154 (sold separately). Depending on usage, a UPS battery typically lasts for 3-5 years before needing to be replaced.

How do you turn off the alarm?

You can temporarily mute some alarms with a 1-2 second press of the Power button, which mutes an alarm until the condition that caused the alarm is reset. Critical events (i.e. Battery replacement) require unit to be turned off.

How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?

The runtime of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your the devices plugged into the battery backup outlets. In the PowerChute Software, you can see ‘Estimated Battery Time’ based on the power-draw of your connected devices.

Can I plug a printer into a UPS?

Due to the large amount of power used by printers, APC does not recommend connecting them to a UPS below 1500VA. If printers are connected, it may cause the UPS to transfer to battery repeatedly, exhausting the battery unnecessarily.

Does it have ethernet ports?

No, and generally you’ll want to avoid surge protectors or UPS’s with built in surge protectors that have multiple ports (i.e. coaxial, Ethernet, phone) since these devices turn on at different voltage levels. So once a surge comes in on the LINE (HOT) side of the AC outlet and the voltage has reached a certain level, the surge will be directed to both the NEUTRAL and the SAFETY GROUND, but as soon as that happens, some of the surge makes it’s way into the COAX, ETHERNET, and PHONE ports and if you have something plugged into those ports then it goes into the devices. A recent study (see: http://incompliancemag.com/article/lightning-surge-damage-to-ethernet-and-pots-ports-connected-to-inside-wiring/) confirms this.
The best place to secure PHONE, and COAX connections is where they enter the house and where they can have a short (less than 10 foot connection to a buried GROUND ROD). If you secure phone & coax at the service entrance and protect your electronics with Type 3 Surge Protectors you won’t need to secure the Ethernet connections.
Also, it’s not a good idea to rely on the Surge Protector inside a UPS as those have a higher clamping voltage generally in the 650-800 Volt range and that means until the voltage reaches 800 volts, your electronics is getting zapped. You can’t plug a UPS with an MOV surge protector into an existing MOV based surge protector for compliance (safety) issues, but you can plug a UPS with an MOV surge protector or an MOV surge protector into a Series Mode filter since the filter does not rely on sacrificial MOV’s. The Series Mode filter starts to work at 121.4 VAC on a 120 VAC line and it totally eliminates the surge instead of diverting it and hoping the surge can make it’s way back through your house wiring to the buried ground rod from the main electrical panel.

How long will it power my system while the power is off?

It will allow enough time to save your work, then safely shutdown the system. It is wise to configure the power chute software with a USB connection to the PC, and your system will safely be brought down before the battery is exhausted without your interaction. Figure if you have a 300 watt PSU in your desktop, then the PC is likely using about 1/4 to 1/3 wattage while idle if no extra storage is present or expansion cards added inside. That’s probably why they show us the 100 watt examples. The display is likely the top power consumer. A laptop would last significantly longer since they typically consume less than 100 watts, and rarely much more if over that.

Does the APC BE550G Back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V come with a battery or do you have to purchase it separately? If you do, which one does it use?

The APC BE550G Back-UPS comes with a battery. This is the second APC unit I have used. The first is now in service for another system after replacing a 9 year old battery (at a very reasonable price).

if my Computer has a 900W PSU will this work for me?

it all depends on the actual draw..it probably won’t last long on battery though…my computer is on a 850w psu

Will it handle 240v input?

No, it will not. It is designed only for a nominal voltage input/output of 120 volts.

how long is the power cord?

5 feet/1.52 meters)
http://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/APC-Back-UPS-550/P-BE550G

does it surge protect the data line?

Yes but as with all surge protectors, your supply outlet must be properly grounded.

Can you disable the audible alarm?

yes, you will need to install powershute and keep the usb cable connected

What is the included cord for? (usb one end, square other end)? 

The USB cord connect your PC to the UPS to allow additional monitoring of the UPS beyond just the lights and beeps on the device itself.

IS there supposed to be a Power Chute software CD enclosed with the UPS? Mine had no disc?

Included under manufacturer’s information, we are told to plug the enclosed USB cable into your computer to use the Power Chute software . . . always a good idea to read before questioning 🙂

How long is the electrical cord?

6ft

Does the 600m1 unit automatically revert back to ac power once power is restored?

yes – it reverts to 120v instantly and recharges the back up battery quickly

Are all 8 oulets backed up by the UPS battery?

No- there are two sides of the battery (4 outlets on each) One side is battery backup and surge protection and the other side is surge protection only.

Does this UPS work with apcupsd?

yes, it works with apcupsd

Why does the apc website state that powerchute s/w for this device is discontinued?

Windows 10 natively finds the UPS without powerchute software, so you can run without.

Can an apc 650 battery support a LG smart tv 4k 75inches?

This APC UPS may keep your 75 inch 4k LG “on” for a short time, but your screen will drain the backup battery very fast. This APC is designed to allow you a window of time to shut down your electronics in a safe and controlled manner in a power outage.

Can it do 240v?

Yes, it can.

What is the max load in Watts that this units can provide?

865 Watts

How long does APC battery backup take to charge?

The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 24 hours while connected to AC power.

How many years does a UPS battery last?

There are a few different factors that can contribute to the lifespan of a UPS battery. On average, a battery will last anywhere from 3-5 years. But, some batteries can last much longer, while others might die on you in a very short amount of time.

How long can a TV run on a UPS?

You can power a TV with an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), and depending on the size (and cost) of the power supply it may keep the TV going for anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours. It’s smart to use a UPS for your TV (or other expensive electrical equipment) as cost-effective insurance.

Should a UPS always be plugged in?

Your UPS should always be plugged into an electric socket and your devices should be plugged into the UPS when you’re using them. To connect the UPS, please refer to the user manual provided in the UPS box.

Can UPS be used 24 7?

UPS are designed to be used 24/7, there is no need to turn them off. You may wish to when the computer is switched off in order to save electricity, but technically there is no need to power off.

Can you use APC UPS without battery?

Yes. The outlets will operate without any battery backup protection. Surge protection will continue to function normally. If your model has a display screen, there is a button on the front panel that can be used to mute the alarm.

What affects UPS battery life?

Regardless of how or where a UPS is deployed, and what size it is, there are four primary factors that affect battery life: ambient temperature, battery chemistry, cycling and service. The rated capacity of a battery is based on an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).

Can UPS Explode?

Overcharging with a float voltage that is too high can cause excessive hydrogen and oxygen gases and can lead to internal dryout that, once accelerated, can cause thermal runaway – resulting in failure or even fire and explosion.

Is it OK to not unplug UPS?

If you have just turned off your PC because you are done with your work and there is no power problem you can turn the UPS via the power button. As long as there is input power coming in to your UPS, it will charge the battery.

Is it okay to turn on UPS everyday?

the UPS is designed to be left on all of the time and I don’t see a benefit to turn it off each day. also, every time you turn the UPS on, it will do a UPS self test and if done too often, this will drain the battery a tiny bit unnecessarily. if you do this a few times a day for a year, then it adds up.

What happens if a UPS fails?

Usually, the UPS control logic will detect the failing output voltage / frequency as the fault occurs. Immediately this will signal the static switch control system to transfer the load to the bypass line in a make-before-break fashion.

Is doing 100 pushups a day good?

Doing pushups every day can be effective if you’re looking for a consistent exercise routine to follow. You will likely notice gains in upper body strength if you do pushups regularly. For the best results, continue to add variety to the types of pushups you do.

Description and Operation

1. On/Off Control (corded models only) – Controls power to the “On/Off” outlets. This control can be used as a master on/off control for the system.
2. Protection Working Indicator – This indicator illuminates when the SurgeArrest is switched on, and is supplying conditioned utility power to the outlets. In the event of a sustained, high-energy surge (such as a lightning strike), this indicator will switch off. If this occurs, first check the Circuit Breaker and On/Off Control to ensure the SurgeArrest is on and receiving utility power. If it still does not operate, return the unit to APC for repair or replacement.
3. Site Wiring Fault Indicator – This indicator illuminates when there is no ground circuit, a reversed polarity in the building wiring, or the neutral circuit is overloaded. If it lights, consult a qualified electrician to examine the building wiring. Note: When the SurgeArrest is fully loaded, this indicator may flicker. This is normal and may not be indicative of a fault.
4. Circuit Breaker (corded models only) – If the SurgeArrest is overloaded, this circuit breaker will trip to disconnect from utility power. When this occurs, the black button will pop out, and none of the outlets will provide power. Remove one piece of equipment, and reset the circuit breaker by pressing the button back into place. Note: The circuit breaker is rated to trip at the same overload as most home and office utility service branch protectors (15 Amps).
5. Modem/Fax/Telephone Surge Protection (not all models) – The SurgeArrest helps provide protection from surges on modem, fax, and telephone wiring. Use the supplied cable to connect the jack marked “IN” to the phone or network wall outlet. Connect the telephone, modem, computer, workstation, etc. to the jack marked “OUT”.
6. Cable Protection (not all models) – The SurgeArrest helps provide protection from surges on cable and cable modem installations. Use the supplied cable to connect the jack marked “IN” to the wall outlet. Connect the cable modem or cable to the jack marked “OUT”.

Wall Mounting Template – Use the Wall Mounting Template to mount the SurgeArrest to a wall. Hold the template over the desired area and insert a push pin through each keyhole cross. Install two #6 pan head screws (not supplied) into the wall until ¼” (0.5cm) of screw threads are exposed. Mount the SurgeArrest over the screw heads and slide down into place.
