Safety
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.
Only trained service personnel should install and maintain the power supply enclosure.
Changes and modifications to this unit not expressly approved by APC could void the
warranty.
Failure to observe these warnings may result in serious injury, death or damage to the
equipment.
Electrical
Warnings
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
Do not handle any metallic connector before the power has been disconnected.
Servicing this equipment may require working with protective covers removed
and utility power connected. Use extreme caution during these procedures.
High current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
When grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the utility
power outlet before installing or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the
power cord only after all connections are made.
Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
Replacement of fuses or other parts must be with identical types and ratings.
Substitution of nonidentical parts may cause safety and fire hazards.

Lifting Warnings
1
Always replace batteries with same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly connected or replaced.
Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high current in the
event of a short-circuit. Observe proper safety precautions.
Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling
facility or ship it to the supplier in the new battery packing material.
Never stand underneath a unit while it is hoisted. Always wear a hard hat.
Modules are heavy. Use proper lifting techniques and equipment to avoid
injury.
Chapter 2 Installation
Prior to installing the power supply enclosure, a utility breaker box must be installed on the pole.
Utility line voltage must be routed to the enclosure. Local, state, federal and/or National Electric
Code (NEC) regulations regarding location, permits and electrical wiring must be adhered to.
Do not operate the power supply where the temperature and humidity are outside the specified limits.
See Specifications in this manual.
