==APC==
An APC is an Area Power Controller (obviously).  These are used to provide power for a sector on the station.  To use an APC someone with a higher authority, such as a Research Director 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, an Engineer (or other compatible authorities) must swipe their card on the APC.
<br>Then, the Engineer must disengage the protective cover.
<br>The cover can be taken off with a crowbar.
<br>The Engineer can be free to remove the battery and insert a new one.
<br>Once done, the Engineer can crowbar the cover back on, re-lock the cover, and lock the APC interface.
 
==Constructing an APC ==
