An APC is an Area Power Controller.  These are used to provide power for a sector on the station.  To use an APC, somebody with actual access to them, usually the [[Chief Engineer]] or an [[Engineer]], needs to swipe their card on an APC to unlock it. Once they do this, there are a few options available to them.
 
<b>Power: On/Off</b> - Toggles power to the APC
<br><b>Main Breaker: On/Off</b> - Toggles power to the APC
<br><b>Equipment: Auto/On/Off</b> - Toggles power to computers, doors, and other electronic equipment.
<br><b>Lighting: Auto/On/Off</b> - Toggles power to lighting in the area.
<br><b>Environmental: Auto/On/Off</b> - Toggles power to the ventilation in the area, as well as the Air Alarm.
<br><b>Overcharge Lighting Circuit:</b> Sends a pulse throughout the lighting circuit, making any lights shatter and send out sparks.
<br><b>Cover Lock: Engaged/Disengaged:</b> Provides a cover to protect the battery.
 
Remember, auto power slowly cuts off each breaker when power runs low in this order:
#<b>Equipment</b>
#<b>Lighting</b>
#<b>Environment</b>
 
==Replacing the Battery==
To replace the APC battery, you need an ID with sufficient access to unlock the APC itself.<br>
 
#Swipe your ID and unlock the interface.
#Open the panel and disengage the cover lock.
#Use a crowbar on the APC to open the cover.
#Take the battery out with a free hand and then place in the new one.
#Close the cover again with your crowbar, re-engage the cover lock and swipe your ID to secure the interface.
