About two years ago, we had trouble at work due to an APC UPS that
would kick in every night. As we needed the computer at 5:00 AM we had
to connect the computer directly. When my boss wanted to throw away the
"faulty" UPS I took it home. After a Google search I found the User's
Manual describing the above mentioned dip-switches.
Needless to say I now have a pretty good working UPS, because of the
power fluctuations in my country and the stupidity of our IT-Service
(who couldn't figure out how to solve the problem).
