1: SAFETY INFORMATION
American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) is the leading national and international manufacturer of state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supplies, redundant switches, power management software, and related equipment. APC products protect hardware, software, and data from the threat of
power disturbances in business and government offices throughout the world.
The APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags,
and surges from reaching your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. The UPS filters
out small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally
disconnecting from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until
the utility line returns to safe levels.
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the warranty.
HANDLING SAFETY
The UPS requires two people for installation due to its weight. To lighten the UPS, you may remove
the battery while you position or mount the UPS in the rack. Note that the battery module also is
heavy and requires two people for removal and installation.
Refer to this manual for instructions on how to remove the battery.
<18 kg (<40 lb)
18–32 kg (40–70 lb)
32–55 kg (70–120 lb)

This equipment is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants. Refer to Specifications at the APC web site for the actual temperature range.
LIFE SUPPORT APPLICATION POLICY
As a general policy, APC does not recommend the use of any of its products in life support applications where failure or malfunctions of the APC product can be reasonably expected to cause failure
of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. APC does not recommend the use of any of its products in direct patient care. APC will not knowingly sell its products
for use in such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the
risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the
liability of APC is adequately protected under the circumstances.
Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen and analyzers, nerve
stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), autotransfusion devices,
blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis systems,
peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators for both adults and infants,
1
anesthesia ventilators, infusion pumps, and any other device designated as “critical” by the
U.S.F.D.A.
Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options on many APC UPS
systems, APC does not claim that units with this modification are certified or listed as Hospital
Grade by APC or any other organization. Therefore these units do not meet the requirements for use
in direct patient care.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
n To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with a 30 Amp maximum branch
circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA or
country specific electrical code.
n Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
n Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
n To reduce the risk of electric shock when grounding, disconnect the equipment from the AC
power outlet before installing or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord only
after all connections are made.
n Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock
from touching two surfaces with different electrical grounds.
n Connect the equipment to a three wire AC outlet (two poles plus ground). The receptacle must be
connected to appropriate branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to
any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
n In order to maintain compliance with the EMC directive, output cords attached to the UPS should
not exceed 10 meters in length.
DEENERGIZING SAFETY
n If the equipment has an internal energy source (battery), the output may be energized when the
unit is not connected to an AC power outlet.
n To deenergize pluggable equipment, press the OFF button for more than one second to
switch the equipment off. Disconnect the equipment from the AC power outlet. Unplug the bat-
tery connector. Push the button labeled
n Pluggable equipment includes a protective earth conductor that carries the leakage current from
the load devices (computer equipment). Total leakage current must not exceed 3.5 mA.
n To deenergize permanently wired equipment: set the power switch to standby .
n Set the AC circuit breaker to standby , and then disconnect the batteries (including any expan-
sion units). Finally, disconnect the AC power from the building power supply.
n Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably
be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety
or effectiveness is not recommended.
to deenergize the capacitors.
