Smart UPS Safety Guide English
This Safety Guide contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the APC equipment and batteries.
It is intended for APC customers who setup, install, relocate, or maintain APC equipment.
Handling Safety
•= Be careful. Do not lift heavy loads without assistance.
= <18 kg (<40 lb.)
= 18-32 kg (40-70 lb.)
•= Equipment with casters is built to move on a smooth surface without any obstacles.
•= Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10°.
•= This equipment is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled indoor area (
= 32-55 kg (70-120 lb.)
= >55 kg (>120 lb.)
0 to 40ΓC (+32 to +104ΓF)), free of conductive contaminants.
Electrical Safety
•= Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
•= High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
•= A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment.
•= Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
•= To reduce the risk of electric shock when grounding cannot be verified, 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.
•= Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the power has been removed.
•= Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different
electrical grounds.
•= 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.
CAUTION! Deenergizing Safety
•= If the equipment has an internal energy source (the battery), the output may be energized when the unit is not connected to an AC power outlet.
•= To deenergize pluggable equipment: first press the Off button for more than one second to switch the equipment off. Next disconnect the
equipment from the AC power outlet. Finally, disconnect the battery.
•= To deenergize permanently wired equipment: set the power switch to standby
disconnect the batteries (including any expansion units). Finally, disconnect the AC power from the building power supply.
•= Pluggable equipment includes a protective earth conductor which carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer equipment). Total
leakage current must not exceed 3.5 mA.
•= 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 effect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
. Next set the AC circuit breaker to standby . Then
WARNING! Battery Safety
•= This equipment contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The only exception is for equipment
containing batteries. Battery replacement using the procedures below is permissible. Except for the battery, the unit contains no user
serviceable parts. Repairs are performed only by factory trained service personnel.
Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling facility or ship it to the supplier in the new
battery’s packing material. See the new battery instructions for more information.
•= Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
•= Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte which is toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.
•= To avoid personal injury due to energy hazard, remove wrist watches and jewelry such as rings when replacing the batteries. Use tools with
insulated handles.
•= Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.
Replacement and Recycling of Batteries
See your dealer or the Battery Replacement Section of this User’s Manual for information on replacement battery kits and battery recycling.

Introduction
About Your New UPS
This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags and surges from reaching your computer
and other valuable electronic equipment. This UPS also filters out small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large
disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line, while supplying power from its internal batteries until the utility line
returns to safe levels.
While running on battery, an internal alarm will sound (periodic beeps). The on/test button may be pressed to silence the UPS alarm.
If the utility power does not return, the UPS will continue supplying power to the connected equipment until exhausted. A continuous
beeping will sound two minutes before the UPS’s final low battery shutdown. If using a computer, you must manually save your files
and power down before the UPS turns itself off, unless you are using PowerChute
