Safety and General Information
• Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
• All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Changes and modifications to this unit not expressly approved by
APC by Schneider Electric could void the warranty.
• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or
where there is excessive dust or humidity.
• Do not operate the UPS near open windows or doors.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate
space for proper ventilation.
Note: Allow 20 cm clearance on all sides of the UPS.
• For a UPS with a factory installed power cord, connect the UPS
power cable directly to a wall outlet.
Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
• The equipment is heavy. Always practice safe lifting techniques
adequate for the weight of the equipment.
• The battery typically lasts for two to three years. environmental
factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor
quality AC power, and frequent short duration discharges will
shorten battery life.
• Additional safety information can be found in the Safety Guide
supplied with this unit.
De-energizing safety
• The UPS contains internal batteries and may present a shock hazard
even when disconnected from AC and DC power.
• The AC and DC output connectors may be energized by remote or
automatic control at any time.
• Before installing or servicing the equipment check that the:
– Mains circuit breaker is in the OFF position
– Internal UPS batteries are removed
– XLBP battery modules are disconnected

• For models with a hardwired input, the connection to the branch
circuit (mains) must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• 230 V models only: In order to maintain compliance with the EMC
directive for products sold in Europe, output cords attached to the
UPS must not exceed 10 meters in length.
• The protective earth conductor for the UPS carries the leakage
current from the load devices (computer equipment). An insulated
ground conductor is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that
supplies input power to the UPS. The conductor must have the same
size and insulation material as the grounded and ungrounded branch
circuit supply conductors. The conductor will typically be green and
with or without a yellow stripe.
• The UPS input ground conductor must be properly bonded to
protective earth at the service panel. If the UPS input power is
supplied by a separately derived system, the ground conductor must
be properly bonded at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
Battery safety
CAUTION
RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE
• Replace the battery at least every 5 years or at the end of its service
life, whichever is earlier.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery
replacement is necessary.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as
originally installed in the equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery
overtemperature condition, or when there is evidence of electrolyte
leakage. Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and
disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the UPS until the batteries
have been replaced.
• *Replace all battery modules (including the modules in External
Battery Packs) which are older than one year, when installing
additional battery packs or replacing the battery module(s).
Failure to follow these instructions could result in equipment
damage and minor or moderate injury.
*Contact APC by Schneider Electric Worldwide Customer Support to
determine the age of the installed battery modules.
• Batteries typically last for two to three years. Environmental factors
impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality
utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten
battery life. Batteries should be replaced before end of life.
• Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free sealed Lead Acid

batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the
internal components of the battery. Over charging, over heating or
other misuse of batteries can result in a discharge of battery
electrolyte. Released electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to the
skin and eyes.
• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove
jewelry such as wristwatches and rings. High short circuit current
through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions.
Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
• CAUTION – Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the
burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
• CAUTION – A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high
short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed
when working on batteries:
– Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or
disconnecting battery terminals.
– Do not wear any metal objects including watches and rings.
– Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
– Use tools with insulated handles.
– Wear rubber gloves and boots.
– Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently
grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result
in electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk
of such hazards can be reduced if grounds are removed during
installation and maintenance by a skilled person.
• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may
explode.
• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is
harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.
General information
• Always recycle used batteries.
• Recycle the package materials or save them for reuse.
• Select a location sturdy enough for the combined weight of the units.
• Operate the UPS within the specified environmental limits.
• Be sure to deliver the used battery to a recycling facility or ship it to
APC by Schneider Electric in the replacement battery packing
material.

Check that the power cable from the UPS to the utility
power supply is securely connected at both ends.
Check the utility power supply to the UPS by plugging in a
table lamp. If the light is very dim, have the utility voltage
checked.
Do not attempt to use the UPS. Unplug the UPS and battery
connector and have it serviced immediately.
None. The UPS helps to protect the connected equipment
from occasional utility power irregularities.
Charge the battery. Batteries require recharging after
extended outages. They wear faster when put into service
often or when operated at elevated temperatures. If the
battery is near the end of its service life, consider replacing
the battery even if the replace battery LED is not yet
illuminated.
None. The UPS will restart when utility power returns.
