About this product
The American Power Conversion ® (APC ® ) Universal Transfer Switch (UTS) is a fully automatic transfer switch for use

during utility power outages. When a UPS is used in the configuration, connected equipment (load), can be protected from
utility brownouts, sags, surges, and power outages. The UPS provides continuous power from the internal battery until
utility power returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
