Important Safety Information
Read the instructions carefully and look at the equipment to become familiar
with the device before trying to install, operate, service or maintain it. The
following special messages may appear throughout this document or on the
equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that
clarifies or simplifies a procedure.
The addition of this symbol to a Danger or Warning product
safety label indicates that an electrical hazard exists that will
result in personal injury if the instructions are not followed.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow
this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER

result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION

Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there
is any damage.
• This UPS is for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or
where there is excessive dust or high 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 a minimum of 20 cm clearance on all four sides of the
UPS.
• Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent discharges will
shorten battery life. Follow the battery manufacturer recommendations.
Electrical safety
• Connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a
qualified electrician.
• 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 be green and with or without a yellow stripe.
• The grounding conductor is to be grounded to earth at the service
equipment, or if supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply
transformer or motor generator set.
• Ensure that a recommended utility circuit breaker is installed at the UPS
input.

Battery safety
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the
skin and eyes, and may be toxic.
• 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.
• 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.
Radio Frequency Warning
This product has been tested and found to be category C2 device. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment is
likely to cause radio interference with some communication devices like TV,
mobiles, audio equipments, radio receivers, etc. Generally this issue can be
corrected by moving the equipment a little away from the UPS, however
sometimes additional measures may have to be taken at user's expense.
Product Description
The APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS™ is a high performance
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The UPS helps to protect the connected
electronic equipment from utility power blackouts, brownouts, sags, surges,
small utility power fluctuations and large disturbances. The UPS also provides
battery backup power for connected equipment until utility power returns to
normal levels or the batteries are discharged.
This user manual is available on the APC by Schneider Electric Web site,
www.apc.com.

Adhere to all national and local electrical codes. Wiring must be
performed by a qualified electrician.
The EPO switch is internally powered by the UPS for use with non-powered
switches or potential free contacts.

NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a unused
circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect
it only to other SELV circuits. The EPO interface monitors circuits that
have no determined voltage potential. Such closure circuits may be
provided by a switch or relay properly isolated from the utility. To avoid
damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other
than a unused circuit.
Use one of the following cable types to connect the UPS to the EPO switch.
• CL2: Class 2 cable for general use.
• CL2P: Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for
environmental air.
• CL2R: Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a floor-to-floor shaft.
• CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways.
