Safety Symbols used in this manual
WARNING! Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in injury or death.
CAUTION! Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the product or
other property.
NOTICE!
WARNING!
This UPS unit contains hazardous AC and DC voltages. Only qualified electricians should connect the UPS, AC line and external batteries, and must be familiar with batteries and battery installation. Before installing, maintaining or servicing the UPS, shut off the UPS and disconnect all sources of AC and DC power. As the UPS has no built-in disconnection devices to switch off external AC and DC input power, ensure that disconnection devices are available as separate parts in connection with the installation! The installer must provide each external disconnecting device for this UPS system with labels with the following text: “Isolate the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) as instructed in this guide before working on circuit” AC and/or DC voltage will always involve a potential risk of AC voltage at UPS output generated from either batteries or utility. To avoid equipment damage or personal injury, always assume that there may be voltage at UPS output. This system is equipped with an auto-start function. If activated, the system may start without warning. Refer to the “Programming” section for information on de-activation.
TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH!
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shocks, install the UPS and external batteries in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants.
UPS batteries are high-current sources. Shorting battery terminals, DC terminals or DC busbars can cause severe arcing, equipment damage and injury. A short circuit can cause a battery to explode. Always wear protective clothing and eye protection and use insulated tools when working on batteries.
Read and pay attention to this important information.
CAUTION!
This unit contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). If you do not follow the ESD procedures, you may cause severe damage to electronic components.
PLEASE RECYCLE
The shipping materials are recyclable. Please save for later use or dispose of them appropriately.

Introduction
1.0 Introduction
This UPS system is designed to offer reliable and problem-free power supply for several years. The system requires only a minimum of maintenance, but we recommend you follow the maintenance guidelines described in section 6.0 Maintenance & Testing.
1.1 Display Unit
The display unit (located on the front of the UPS) is the link between the user and the UPS and consists of a display, an alarm LED indicator and a keyboard. The display reads parameters, measured values and alarm messages. Alarms and the pressing of keys will activate a back light which is set to switch off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
By pressing and simultaneously you increase the back light contrast. The pressing of
and simultaneously decreases the contrast.
The LED alarm is linked to an acoustic signal indicating incorrect operation. Alarms will change the LED light from green to red. Use keyboard to program operating parameters and to display parameters / alarm messages.

WARNING!
AC voltage generated either from batteries or utility may be present at UPS output.
Always disconnect AC input supply source, switch off UPS, AND switch off DC.
TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH!
Some UPS systems have a factory-set autostart feature, automatically switching on UPS whenever utility supply is switched on (AC line). See section 4.0 Parameter settings for instructions on how to switch off this function.
Only qualified electricians should start up or shut down APC Silcon UPS systems and instructions in the Installation Guide should be followed. Prior to being serviced, the APC Silcon UPS must be left in shut-down mode for a minimum of 5 minutes.
CAUTION!
Refer to the Maintenance & Testing section in this guide if the UPS is to be taken out of operation for more than 48 hours.
Users without electrical qualifications may switch UPS to and from stand-by-mode/normal operation, following instructions below. ( In stand-by mode, the UPS has no output
voltage ).
