Introduction
The APC Smart-UPS® RT is a high-performance, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that provides
protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts, brownouts, sags and surges. The
UPS filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates electronic equipment from large disturbances
by internally disconnecting from utility line power. The UPS provides continuous power from the
internal battery until utility power returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
INSTALLATION
Read the safety information sheet before installation.
Unpacking
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier
and dealer if there is damage.
The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or
dispose of it properly.

Hardwiring
Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
1. Install a utility circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes (see tables below) for
input wiring.
2. Switch the UPS input circuit breaker (see A) and utility circuit breakers OFF.
3. Remove the access panel (see B).
4. Remove circular knockouts.
5. Run wires through access panel to terminal blocks. Wire to ground block first. Adhere to all
national and local electrical codes. (See tables and graphics.)
6. Use appropriate glands to achieve strain-relief on the hardwired input and output power cables.
