The APC™ by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS™ On-Line SRT is a high performance uninterruptible power supply
(UPS). The UPS helps to provide protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts, brownouts,
sags, surges, small utility power 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 completely discharged.
This user manual is available on the enclosed Documentation CD and on the APC web site, www.apc.com.
General Information
Safety Messages
Read the instructions carefully to become familiar with the equipment before attempting to install, operate, service
or maintain the UPS. The following special messages may appear throughout this manual or on 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 a Danger or Warning product safety label indicates that an electrical
hazard exists which will result in personal injury if the instructions are not followed.
The addition of this symbol to a Warning or Caution product safety label indicates that a hazard exists
that can result in injury and product damage if the instructions are not followed.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can result in minor or moderate injury.

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 verify the following:
•
•
•XLBP battery modules are disconnected
s circuit breaker is in the OFF position

nternal UPS the batteries are removed
Electrical safety
• For models with a hardwired input, the connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a
q
ualified electrician.
•230 V models only: In order to maintain compliance with the EMC directive for products sold in Europe
o
utput 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 (compu
eq
uipment). An insulated ground conductor is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies th
U
PS. The conductor must have the same size and insulation material as the grounded and unground
ranch circuit supply conductor s. The con du cto r wi ll typi call y be green and wi th o r w it hou t a yel low str ipe.

•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.
• Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatches and rings.
High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
•Do not dispose of batteries by burning them. The batteries may explode.
Do
•
not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.

General information
• The UPS will recognize as many as 10 external battery packs connected to the UPS. However there is no
limit to the number of XLBPs that can be used with the UPS.
Note: For each XLBP added, increased recharge time will be required.
