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.

CAUTION
RISK OF DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR PERSONNEL
• Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
• Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Always connect the UPS to a grounded outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage and minor or moderate injury.
Normally open contacts
1. If the EPO switch or relay contacts are normally open, insert the wires from the switch
or contacts at pins 1 and 2 of the EPO terminal block. Use 16-28 AWG wire.
2. Secure the wires by tightening the screws.
If the contacts are closed, the UPS will turn OFF and power will be removed from the load.
Normally closed contacts
1. If the EPO switch or relay contacts are normally closed, insert the wires from the switch
or contacts at pins 2 and 3 of the EPO terminal block. Use 16-28 AWG wire.
2. Insert a wire jumper between pins 1 and 2. Secure the wires by tightening the three
screws at positions 1, 2, and 3.
If the contacts are opened, the UPS will turn OFF and power will be removed from the load.
Note: Pin 1 is the power source for the EPO circuit, it provides a few milliampere of 24 V power.
If the normally closed (NC) EPO configuration is used, the EPO switch or relay should be rated for “dry” circuit
applications, the rating should be for low voltage and low current applications. This normally implies the contacts are gold
plated.
The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect the EPO interface only to other SELV circuits.
The EPO interface monitors circuits that have no determined voltage potential. SELV circuits are controlled by a switch or
relay properly isolated from mains power. To avoid damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other
than a SELV circuit.
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 floor to floor shaft.
• CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways.
• Installation in Canada: Use only CSA certified, type ELC, (extra low voltage control cable).
• Installation in countries other than Canada and the USA: Use standard low voltage cable in accordance with national
The UPS has a network port and console port that can be used to access the Network Management Interface. The
Network Management Interface is very similar to an AP9630 Network Management Ca rd (NMC) that is integrated into
a UPS with one universal input/output port.
The Network Management Interface and the AP9630 NMC have the same firmware, operation modes and interaction
with other APC products such as PowerChute Network Shutdown.
Refer to the Network Management Card utility CD supplied with this product.
Features
The Network Management Interface allows the UPS to function as a Web based, IPv6 ready
product.
The Network Management Interface can manage the UPS using multiple open standards such as:
and 3 (SNMPv1, SNMPv3)
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)Secure Copy (SCP)
TelnetSyslog
RADIUS
The Network Management Interface:
• Provides UPS control and Self Test scheduling f eatures.
• Provides data and event logs.
• Enables you to set up notifications through event logging, e-mail, and SNMP traps.
• Provides support for PowerChute Network Shutdown.
• Supports using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or BOOTstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server to
provide the network (TCP/IP) values.
• Supports use of Remote Monitoring Service (RMS).
• Provides the ability to export a user configuration (.ini) file from a configured UPS, to one or more unconfigured
UPS without conversion to a binary file.
• Provides a selection of security protocols for authentication and encryption.

End of useful life
• Near end of life notification: A warning message will appear on the UPS display interface screen when each
RBC is approaching the end of its useful life. For configuration details refer to Replacement Notification Time
and Replacement Battery Alarm Time.
The estimated replacement date for each RBC is available through the UI.
• Needs replacement notification: The UPS display interface screen shows when RBC replacement is required.
The RBC must be replaced as soon as possible.
When an RBC requires replacement, the UPS display interface may recommend that additional RBCs be
replaced if they will soon reach the end of their useful life.
CAUTION:Continued operation after end of useful life notification may cause damage to the batteries.
• Recycling: Remove the RBC from the XLBP. Recycle the RBC. Do not disassemble an RBC.
An RBC should only be disconnected or removed from the UPS temporarily as part of the battery replacement
procedure.
• Disconnect all connected battery modules in the UPS. Slide the RBCs out of the UPS.
• Slide the new RBCs into the UPS and connect the battery modules to the UPS.
• Securely connect each battery module. Press the battery connector into the UPS until it is firmly connected.
A battery that is not fully connected will cause erratic UPS operation, abnormal error messages and connected
equipment may not receive battery power during power outages.
• After installing the RBC, the UPS display interface may prompt the user to verify the status of the replaced
battery modules. If the battery module is new, respond
YES. If the battery module is not new, respond NO.
Recommended actions after installing new RBCs
• Verify that the UPS is connected to input power and the output power is turned on. Refer to the Operation
section in this manual for instructions.
• Verify that the UPS load is greater than 400 watts. This will appear on the UPS display interface screen.
• Perform a UPS Self Test.
• Verify on the UPS display interfacethat the installation dates for the replaced RBCs are set to the current date.
The installation dates can be changed manually on the UPS display interface.
If all RBCs have been replaced at the same time, all installation dates can be changed simultaneously.
For configuration details refer to Battery Install Date on page 19 of this manual.
• Allow the system to charge for 24 hours to ensure full runtime capability.
