To confirm your APC BC650-RSX761 Back-UPS is providing battery backup during a power outage, observe the status indicators on the unit. Here's a breakdown:
- Power On Indicator (Green LED): A solid green light shows the Back-UPS is operating on standard utility power.
- Overload Alarm (Constant Tone): A continuous tone signals an overload. Disconnect non-essential devices to resolve the issue.
- On Battery Indicator (Green LED Not Illuminated, 4 Beeps Every 30 Seconds): During a power outage, this signifies the Back-UPS is supplying battery power to the connected equipment, confirming battery backup operation.
- Low Battery Indicator (Flashing Green, Rapid Beeps Every 0.5 Seconds): This indicates the battery is nearing depletion. Approximately 2 minutes of runtime remain before shutdown.
- Bad Battery Indicator (Constant Tone): A constant tone indicates a battery issue. The battery might need charging or replacement. Since the battery in this unit is not user-replaceable, contact Schneider Electric IT (SEIT) for support.
