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 Instruction sheet before installing the UPS.
Unpacking
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier
Literature kit containing:
and dealer if there is damage.
The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or
dispose of it properly.
Check the package contents.

1. Switch the UPS input circuit breaker (see A in diagram) and utility circuit breakers OFF.
2. Remove the input access panel, (see B in diagram).
3. Remove circular knockout.
4. Run appropriate size wire through the access panel, and connect to the terminal block,
(Green: Ground, Brown: Hot, Blue: Neutral). Connect the ground wire first. Use
appropriate strain reliefs, (not included).
5. For three-phase input, set the input phase selector switch, (see C in diagram) to “3”. For
single-phase input, leave the switch in the default position of “1”.
6. Replace the access panel.

Power management software and interface kits can be used with the UPS.
Use only interface kits supplied or approved by APC.
Any other serial interface cable will be incompatible with the UPS
connector.
Connect the UPS to the network using the Network Management Card.
Emergency Power Off terminal allows the user to connect the UPS to the
central EPO system.
The UPS features a transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS) screw for
connecting the ground lead on surge suppression devices such as telephone
and network line protectors.
When connecting grounding cable, disconnect the unit from the utility
power outlet.
External battery packs must be connected to these connectors located on
the rear panel of the unit.

Battery Safety
Read and adhere to the following warnings when installing or servicing the external batteries.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in serious injury, death or damage to the
equipment.
ARNINGS
W
•Do not attempt to install or service external batteries alone. A qualified
electrician should perform the installation and servicing of external
batteries.
•Disconnect charging source(s) BEFORE connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
•External batteries may retain lethal voltages after power has been disconnected
and all switches are off.
•Use extreme caution when making terminal connections. Do not allow cables
to touch anything except the intended terminal.
PRACTICES
PRECAUTIONS
APC
BATTERY SOLUTION
Always wear: Goggles or face shields
Acid-resistant, insulated gloves
Protective aprons
Protective overshoes or rubber boots
Always Use: Insulated tools
Rubber mats to cover batteries during servicing
Rubber mats or rubber stands on the floor
Adequate lifting devices
Remove: Watches, rings, and other metal objects from your body
•To avoid static build-up, service personnel should establish a grounding
contact prior working on batteries.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
