Overview
Product Description
The APC® by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS® 500 VA to 3000 VA Tower is a high performance
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). It provides protection for electronic equipment from utility power
blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges, small utility fluctuations and large disturbances. The UPS also
provides battery backup power for connected equipment until utility power returns to safe levels or the
batteries are fully discharged.
Safety and General Information
Read the Safety Guide included in the package before installing the UPS.
This unit 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.
The battery typically lasts 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.
Connect the Smart-UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
The batteries are heavy. Remove the batteries prior to installing the UPS in a rack.
