Safety and General Information

General safety

• 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 unit in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or humidity.

• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.

• 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.

• Always practice safe lifting techniques adequate for the weight of the equipment.

• Remove the batteries before installing the UPS.

• Always install peripheral equipment above the UPS in rack-mount configuration.

• Additional safety information can be found in the Safety Guide supplied with this unit.

Deenergizing safety

The UPS contains internal batteries and may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from the branch circuit (mains).

Before installing or servicing the equipment verify the following:

• Mains circuit breaker is in the OFF position.

• The UPS is disconnected from mains or wall outlet.

• Battery packs are disconnected.

Electrical safety

• 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, 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.

• Use tools with insulated handles.

• Do not handle any metallic connector before power has been disconnected.

• For models with a hardwired input, the connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a
qualified electrician.

• Leakage current for a pluggable, Type A UPS may exceed 3.5 mA when a separate ground terminal is used.

Battery safety

WARNING

RISK OF CHEMICAL HAZARD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT

• Replace the battery at least every 10 years.

• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.

• Replace battery at the end of its service life.

• 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 over-temperature condition or UPS
internal over-temperature. 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.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

• Schneider Electric uses Lithium Ion batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the
internal components of the battery.

• The battery typically lasts for five to ten years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality mains power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.

• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.

• Servicing of batteries should be performed by Schneider Electric IT (SEIT) Customer Support only.

• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist
watches and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.

• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

• CAUTION: Do not open the battery pack enclosure. Doing so will expose the cell terminals which pose an
energy hazard.

• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes. It may be toxic.

• CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
