Battery Safety

Electrical

Hazard

Caution

Note

Each battery module is a 120 V, 7.2 Ah battery pack. There is a risk of energy hazard. Before installing or replacing battery nodules, remove jewelry such as wristwatches and rings. High short -circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.

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.

Ensure that battery module(s) are in the battery disconnect position if they are in storage for an extended period of time.

Store the battery module(s) at a cool ambient temperature of<25°C.

Storage of batteries longer than six months without recharging may result in permanent damage.

To comply with FAA regulations, the battery modules are shipped disconnected to the UPS.

Batteries are recyclable. Used batteries can be sent to APC for recycling or delivered to a recycling facility.

Only use APC batteries when adding or replacing battery modules in the UPS.

Symmetra LX Tower Extended Run

990-1602-002, English, December 2003

The protective earth conductor for the UPS carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer equipment). An insulated grounding conductor that is identical in size, insulation material, and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded branch-circuit supply conductors, except that it is green with or without a yellow stripe is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies the UPS.

The grounding conductor described above 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.

The attachment-plug receptacles near the unit or subsystem are all to be of a grounding type, and the grounding conductors serving these receptacles are to be connected to earth ground at the service equipment.

Hardwiring Safety

Verify that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits are de-energized, 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.

All openings in the rear of the UPS must be covered. Failure

to do so may result in personal injury of equipment damage.

Select wire size and connectors according to national and

local codes.

Loads can be connected directly to the UPS using the output plugs on the PDU panel. Ensure that the total load being plugged into a PDU panel DOES NOT EXCEED the branch circuit breaker rating on the PDU panel.

Do not install a PDU panel when a PDU warning label is present.

Use flexible metal conduit to make maintenance and service easier.

Safety Instructions (continued)

Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO)

The output power can be disabled in an emergency by closing a switch connected to the REPO circuit. You must manually reset the system enable switch on the front of the UPS to restart the unit.

The REPO circuit is considered a Class 2 (UL and CSA standards) and SELV (IEC standard) circuit.

Caution

Class 2 Circuit:

defined in the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, Article 725) and in the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1, Section 16).

SELV Circuit: "safety extra

an isolating transformer and designed so that under normal conditions, the voltage is limited to 42.4 V peak or 60 V dc.

Both Class 2 and SELV circuits must be isolated from all primary circuitry. Do not connect any circuit to the REPO terminal block unless it can be confirmed that the circuit is SELV or Class 2. If there is a question, use a contact closure switch.

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 shaft of from floor to floor.

CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways.

For installation in Canada: Use only CSA Certified, type ELC (extra-low voltage control cable).

Radio Frequency Interference

North America and 208 V Countries

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications (CDC). These limits are designed 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 interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Use shielded signal cables with this product to ensure compliance with Class A FCC limits.

Europe and 230 V Countries

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take corrective actions.

Japan and 200 V Countries

This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a domestic environment, radio disturbance may occur, in which case, the user may be required to take corrective actions.

Life Support Policy

As a general policy, American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use of any of its products in life support applications where failure or malfunction of the APC product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. APC does not recommend the use of any of its products in direct patient care. APC will not knowingly sell its products for use in such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of American Power Conversion is adequately protected under the circumstances.

Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), autotransfusion devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators for both adults and infants, anesthesia ventilators, infusion pumps, and any other device designated as “critical” by the U.S.F.D.A.

Hospital grade wiring devices and reduced leakage currents that meet medical safety standards may be ordered as options on many APC UPS systems. APC does not claim that units with these modifications are certified or listed as such by APC or any other organization, therefore these units do not meet the requirements for use in direct patient care.
