Electrical Safety

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH

• Electrical equipment must be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained
only by qualified personnel.

• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical work practices.

• Turn off all power supplying the UPS system before working on or inside the
equipment.

• Before working on the UPS system, check for hazardous voltage between all
terminals including the protective earth.

• The UPS contains an internal energy source. Hazardous voltage can be
present even when disconnected from the utility/mains supply. Before
installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and
that utility/mains and batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before
opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge.

• A disconnection device (e.g. disconnection circuit breaker or switch) must be
installed to enable isolation of the system from upstream power sources in
accordance with local regulations. This disconnection device must be easily
accessible and visible.

• The UPS must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high leakage
current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Battery Safety

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Battery circuit breakers must be installed according to the specifications and
requirements as defined by Schneider Electric.

• Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep
unqualified personnel away from batteries.

• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.

• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they can explode.

• Do not open, alter, or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to
the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Batteries can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The
following precautions must be observed when working on batteries

• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.

• Use tools with insulated handles.

• Wear protective glasses, gloves and boots.

• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.

• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded,
remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can
result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such
grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to
equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply
circuit).

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

When replacing batteries, always replace with the same type and number of
batteries or battery packs.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

• Wait until the system is ready to be powered up before installing batteries in
the system. The time duration from battery installation until the UPS system
is powered up must not exceed 72 hours or 3 days.

• Batteries must not be stored more than six months due to the requirement of
recharging. If the UPS system remains de-energized for a long period,
Schneider Electric recommends that you energize the UPS system for a
period of 24 hours at least once every month. This charges the batteries,
thus avoiding irreversible damage.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

4. For installation with remote UPS:

a. Connect signal cables to J8008 on board 640-7572 in modular battery

cabinet 1, route up along the right side and out through the top of the
modular battery cabinet, and follow the UPS installation manual to
connect the signal cables in the UPS.

NOTE: The provided signal cable 0W12908 is not long enough for a
remote UPS installation. A 5 meter signal cable (0J-0W4527) or 50
meter signal cable (0J-0W3758) can be ordered from Schneider
Electric. For other signal cable lengths, please contact Schneider
Electric. This signal cable is classified as Class 2/SELV.

b. Connect signal cables to J8011 on board 640-7572 in modular battery

cabinet 1, route up along the left side and out through the top of the
modular battery cabinet, and follow the UPS installation manual to
connect the signal cables in the UPS.

NOTE: The provided signal cable 0W76627 is not long enough for a
remote UPS installation. Reuse the connectors from the provided
signal cable 0W76627 to make new signal cables in the correct
length. This signal cable is classified as non-Class 2/non-SELV.

Use optional seismic kit GVSOPT016 for this procedure.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Batteries can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The
following precautions must be observed when working on batteries

• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.

• Use tools with insulated handles.

• Wear protective glasses, gloves and boots.

• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.

• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded,
remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can
result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such
grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to
equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply
circuit).

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Wait until the system is ready to be powered up before installing batteries in the
system. The time duration from battery installation until the UPS system is
powered up must not exceed 72 hours or 3 days.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

1. If not done already, lower the front and rear leveling feet on the modular
battery cabinet with a wrench until they connect with the floor. Use a bubble­leveler to check that the modular battery cabinet is level.

NOTICE

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Do not move the cabinet after the leveling feet have been lowered.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

2. Only for seismic anchoring:

a. Remove the M8 bolts from the front of the modular battery cabinet.

b. Install the front anchoring bracket on the modular battery cabinet with the

provided M8 bolts.

c. Mount the front anchoring bracket to the floor. Use appropriate hardware

for the floor type – the hole diameter in the front anchoring bracket is ø13
mm. Minimum requirement is M12 grade 8.8 hardware.

3. Reinstall the indicated plates and covers.

4. Set the battery breaker BB to the open (OFF) position.

5. Push the battery modules into the slot. Fill the shelves from the bottom and
upwards. Always install a complete battery string (four battery modules) on
each shelf.

6. Turn down the battery module handle and fasten the handle to the shelf with
the provided screw.
