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 (

conductive contaminants.

= 32-55 kg (70-120 lb.)

= >55 kg (>120 lb.)

0 to 40ΓC (+32 to +104ΓF)), free of

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 external battery pack connected, 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

. Then 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

WARNING! Battery Safety

•= This equipment contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. Battery replacement using

the procedures below is permissible. 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..
