SOURCE: APC back-ups es500 alarm continuously sounds why

It means it has an internal fault. if still under warranty period, just call APC and ask for replacement. if it out of warranty bring it to service center or better if you have to buy a new one because as far as i am concerned repair cost of this unit is much expensive than a new unit

SOURCE: APC ES500 switches off and the red light blinks.

The battery for this unit is an APC# $^ (RBC46)
Also known as a UB-1280 (12 volts 8.0 AH- amp-hour)

Did you add a greater load ... like a small "heater"?
Remove most of the plugs for what is plugged into it and try again.

If you have a "printer" plugged into it, unplug it, from the "protected" side. It belongs on the "surge" side of the APC Battery backup.

Hope this helps!

I have a Smart-UPS VT 10kVA that when goes to Mains out of range pass to bypass instead of battery, there is a way to setting the UPS to pass immediately to battery instead of passing to bypass first

The behavior of the Smart-UPS VT 10kVA in response to mains out of range can be configured using the PowerView software provided by APC (the manufacturer of the UPS). Here are the general steps to change the settings:
  1. Download and install the APC PowerView software from the APC website.
  2. Connect your computer to the UPS using a USB cable or network connection, depending on the interface available on your UPS model.
  3. Launch the PowerView software and establish communication with the UPS.
  4. Once connected, navigate to the UPS settings or configuration section within the software.
  5. Look for options related to the response to mains out of range or bypass operation.
  6. Adjust the settings to instruct the UPS to immediately switch to battery power when the mains voltage is out of range, instead of passing through bypass mode.
  7. Save the changes and exit the configuration settings.
  8. Disconnect your computer from the UPS.
It's important to note that the specific steps and options may vary depending on the version of the PowerView software and the firmware version of your UPS. Refer to the user manual or documentation provided by APC for detailed instructions and guidance on configuring the UPS settings.
If you are uncertain about making these changes yourself or require further assistance, it is recommended to contact APC's technical support or consult with a qualified APC technician who can guide you through the process and ensure the proper configuration of your UPS.

Hi, i have an APC UPS with model BE 500R PH how to bypass the auto shutdown of it?

On mine, until an electrical storm, was controlled through my computer via USB. Now, it shuts down in 5 seconds. I'm sure it's the thermistors, but I don't have time. Also, check for timing circuits.

Apc symmetra px stuck on self test

Place UPS into internal Bypass (Static Bypass) via the display. Then place unit back to Normal from Internal Bypass(Static Bypass). See if that helps. Or shut the unit down completely by placing UPS into Static Bypass first and then place UPS into external bypass mode, switch is located on the bottom front of the UPS. Please follow the UPS Manual to help you understand the procedures. Also recommend doing this after hours, not during business hours.

APC Back-UPS ES500. Battery is new replacement UB1280, and battery has charge and runs fine if unit not plugged in. However, if unit is plugged in to power back-up side outlets in unit don't work.

there are 2 parts of a UPS .
the charge side
and (battery is obvious)
the inverter side.
if the charger fails, all is lost. (are the batteries in backwards?)
if the charger works (volt meter tells you that)
then the inverter is bad. (this unit is not full time UPS , but part time, this means it switches over to inverter at power fail.
(on full time sys. inverter runs full time, like the name states)
the unit, you mean the load right.?
the UPS side plugged into a load. and the load is now dead.

the Backup plugs should work if the mains are hot.
if you kill mains, the inverter will fire off, (hear the squeal?)
and give you 500 watts for some minutes, sucking the batteries dry. (see load run time curves)
I used to do service on HUGE UPS systems, some with 100s of batteries. 3 to 5kw too.
on ours there is a port on the rear , we connect and can
check everything "BEST brand" even charge voltage.
did you look on APC site for special software and connections?

the manual does cover trouble shooting, ever read that?
RTM? start there, its online, for sure.

APC ES500 switches off and the red light blinks. The problem started after I changed the the old battery. It had worked flawlessly with the previous battery.

The battery for this unit is an APC# $^ (RBC46)
Also known as a UB-1280 (12 volts 8.0 AH- amp-hour)

Did you add a greater load ... like a small "heater"?

My APC back-ups es500 is keep on flashing in orange and green having the beep sound, whe it is on. It has been used for nearly 3 years. What would be the problem...?

Hello,

Probably the battery is drained. You should charge it first. And if the problem still persist, it could be that the UPS battery needs replacement.
