Life Support Policy
YMMETRA RM OPERATION MANUAL). Products
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 syste ms,
neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators for both adults and infants, anesthesia ventila tors, infusion pumps,
and any other device designated as “critical” by the U.S.F.D.A.
Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options on many APC UPS systems. APC
does not claim that units with this modification are certified or listed as Ho spital Grade by APC or any other
organization. Therefore these units do not meet the requirements for use in direct patient care.

This Safety section contains important instructions that should b e followed during installation and maintenance
of the APC equipment and batteries. It is intended for APC customers who setup, install, relocate, or maintain
APC equipment.
Connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a Licensed Electrician. Installation and
removal of the Power, Battery, and Intelligence modules must be performed by service personnel.
Installation and removal of interface accessories must be performed by service personnel. Operation of
the Symmetra RM can be performed by any individual with no previous technical experience.
Conventions Used in this Manual
This section defines the symbols used throughout this manual. Carefully read all information boxes and abide
by the instructions.
The WARNING sign denotes a serious hazard. It calls attention to a procedure,
practice, condition, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to,
could result in injury to personnel.
The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, practice,
or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to or
destruction of all or part of the product.
CHAPTER 1: SAFETY INFORMATION
The NOTE sign denotes important information. It calls attention to a procedure, practice,
condition, or the like, which is essential to highlight.
Handling Safety
• Be careful. Do not lift heavy loads without assistance.
Þ <18 kg (<40 lb)
Þ 18 – 32 kg (40 – 70 lb)
• Equipment with casters is built to move on a smooth surface without any obstacles.
• Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10°.
• This equipment is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled indoor area (see Specifications in the
YMMETRA RM OPERATION MANUAL), free of conductive contaminants.
S
Electrical Safety
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
• High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• A licensed electrician is required to install p e rmanently wired equipment.
• Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock when grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the
AC power outlet before installing or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord only after all
connections are made.
• Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the power has been removed.
Þ 32 – 55 kg (70 – 120 lb)
Þ >55 kg (>120 lb)
1
• Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock from
touching two surfaces with different electrical grounds.
• Connect the equipment to a three wire AC outlet (two poles plus ground). The receptacle must be connected
to appropriate branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of
receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
• The protective earth conductor for the Symmetra RM carries the leakage current from the load devices
(computer equipment). Therefore, the size of the conductor must be at least as large as the wire required by
IEC 950. IEC 950 states the following nominal cross-sectional areas:
Cross-sectional Area Rated Current Range
(mm2) AWG (A)
2.5 12 17 – 25
6 8 33 – 40
10 6 41 – 63
16 4 64 – 80
• 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 Symmetra.
• 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 in the vicinity of 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.
Deenergizing Safety
• To remove all power from the Symmetra RM (Total Power Off), the following series of events must occur in
the order listed:
1. Set the system enable switch to stand by
2. Set the input circuit breaker to stand by
3. Remove the battery modules.
4. Disconnect the external battery pack (if provided).
5. Disconnect the Symmetra RM from the mains/circuit branch.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected
to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly effect its safety or effectiveness is not
recommended.
Battery Safety
• Risk of electrical shock and and energy hazard (120 V, 5 ampere-hour battery). Before
replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, 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. They contain electrolyte that is toxic and harmful to
the skin and eyes.
.
.
Batteries must be recycled. Deliver the battery to an appropriate recycling facility or ship it to
the supplier in the new battery’s packing material. See the new battery instructions for more
information.
• Store the battery module(s) in a cool ambient temperature of < 25 °C.
• When replacing batteries, use only the same APC battery pack (SYBT2).
2
Recycling of Batteries
See your dealer or Replacing Modules in the SYMMETRA RM OPERATION MANUAL, for information on
replacement battery kits and battery recycling.
• Do not install the battery module(s) in the frame until you are ready to power up the
Symmetra RM. Failure to so can result in a deep discharge of the batteries, which may
cause permanent damage.
• Store the battery module(s) in a cool ambient temperature of < 25 °°°°C.
Radio Frequency Interference
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 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 harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Shielded signal cables must be used with this product to ensure compliance with the Class A FCC limits.
