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 either a “Danger” or “Warning” safety label indicates that an electrical
hazard exists which 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
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.

Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt.
Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damage.
• 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.

Hardwire safety
• Check that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits are deenergized, and locked out
before installing cables or making connections, whether in the junction box or to the UPS.
• Wiring by a qualified electrician is required.
• Check national and local codes before wiring.
• Strain relief is required for all hardwiring (supplied with select products). Snap in type strain reliefs are
recommended.
• All openings that allow access to UPS hardwire terminals must be covered. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
• Select wire size and connectors according to national and local codes.
Battery safety
• Servicing of user replaceable batteries should to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable
about batteries and required precautions.
• The batteries typically last for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated
ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery
life.
• APC by Schneider Electric uses 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.
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.
Radio Frequency warning
WARNING: This is a category C2 UPS product. In a residential environment, this product may cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take additional measures.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are intended to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. 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 in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
