This manual provides critical product, safety and installation information for the SCL500RM1UC and
SCL500RM1UNC. The only difference between these two models is in their monitoring and management options. The SCL500RM1UC has the “SmartConnect” port, which allows the product to be monitored remotely. Learn more about the APCTM SmartConnect feature on www.smartconnect.apc.com.
The SCL500RM1UNC can be managed via traditional methods and APC softwares, it has an embedded
network management card, the AP9537SUM.

Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damage.
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.
• The equipment is heavy. Always practice safe lifting techniques adequate for the weight of the equipment.
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 check that the:
• Input circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
• Internal UPS batteries are removed.
Electrical safety
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Leakage current for a pluggable, Type A UPS may exceed 3.5 mA when a separate ground terminal is used.
• 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
WARNING
RISK OF CHEMICAL HAZARD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT
• Recycle the UPS when the UPS battery error is detected at the end of its service life. Power off the UPS
and unplug it from the AC input.
• The battery is not user replaceable. Contact APC by Schneider Electric Worldwide Customer Support if
there are defects in the product and the product is within warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
• The batteries typically last for 10 years and operate between 0 and 40 °C. 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. Due to the long life of
the batteries, we recommend replacing the unit entirely. For longest battery performance, the ambient
temperature should be maintained between 68° and 77°F (20° and 25°C).
• This unit uses Lithium Ion (LFP) batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the
internal components of the battery.
• Servicing of user replaceable batteries should to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable
about batteries and required precautions. In this case, batteries are not user replaceable.
• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
• 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 plastic case of the batteries. 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
.
General information
• The model and serial numbers are located on a small, rear panel label. For some models, an additional label
is located on the chassis under the front bezel.
• Always recycle used batteries.
• Recycle the package materials or save them for reuse.

Device IP configuration utility
The Device IP Configuration Utility can discover Network Management Cards (NMC 2) that do not have an IP
address assigned. Once discovered, you can configure the IP address settings for the cards. You can also search for
devices already on the network by entering an IP range to define the search. The Utility scans the IP addresses in
the defined range and discovers cards that already have a DHCP-assigned IP address.
For detailed information on the Utility, see the Knowledge Base on the support page of the www.apc.com website
and search for FA156064 (the ID of the relevant article).
Once IP address found, access the Web management interface by this IP address. Enter the user name and password
to login (by default, use apc and apc to login as the administrator).
Connect and install management software
Smart-UPS is provided with PowerChute management software for unattended operating system shutdown, UPS
monitoring, UPS control and energy reporting. The following diagram is a representation of a typical server
installation.
1. Connect the USB cable (SCL500RM1UC) / Network cable (SCL500RM1UNC) from the rear of the UPS /
Network Port to the protected device such as a server.
2. For a server or other device with an operating system, load the PowerChute CD and follow the on-screen set-up
instructions. PowerChute provides for graceful shutdown in the event of an extended power outage and is a
powerful management interface on the local network.
