Safety and General Information
• Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
•All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
•
C
hanges and modifications to this unit not expressly approved by APC could void the warranty.
•This UPS is intended for indoor use only
o not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or humidity.
D
•
•Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
•
For
a UPS with a fa ct or y ins t a ll ed po we r cor d, c onnect the UPS powe r cable directly t o a w all outl e t . Do not us e s urge
protectors or extension cords.
•The battery typically lasts for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambien
te
mperatures, poor quality mains pow er, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery lif e.
•The equipment is heavy. Always practice safe lifting techniques adequate for the weight of the equipment.
•The batteries are heavy . Remove the batteries before installing the UPS and external battery packs (XLBPs), in a rack.
•
A
lways install XLBPs at the bottom in rack-mount configurations. The UPS must be installed above the XLBPs.
•Always install peripheral equipment above the UPS in rack-mount configurations.
•Additional safety information can be fo u nd in the Saf ety Guid e s upplied with this unit.

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:
Ma
•
ins circuit breaker is in the OFF position
•Internal UPS the batteries are removed
•XLBP battery modules are disconnected
Electrical safety
• For models with a hardwired input, the connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a qualified
e
lectrician.
•230 V models only: I n or de r to m ai ntain complian ce w it h the E MC di rect ive for product s sol d in Eur ope , out p ut cor ds
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 (computer equipment).
An insulated ground conductor is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies the UPS. The conductor
must have the same size and insulation material as the grounded and ungrounded branch circuit supply conductors.
The conductor will typically be green and with or without a yellow stripe.
• The UPS input ground conductor must be properly bonded to protective earth at the service panel.
If the UPS input power is supp lied by a separately derived syste m, the ground conductor must be properly
bonded at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
Battery safety
• Before installing or rep lac ing 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.
Hardwire safety
• Verify that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits are deenergized, and locked out before
installing cables or making connections, whether in the junction box or to the UPS.
•Wiring by a qualified electrician is requir ed.
•Check national and local codes before wiring.
•
S
train relief is required for all hardwiring.
•All openings that allow access to UPS hardwire term inals mu st be covered. Failure to do so may result in persona
i
njury or equipment damage.
•Select wire size and connectors according to national and local codes.
General information
• The UPS will recognize as many as 10 externa l battery pa cks co nnected 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.
• The model and serial numbers are located on a small, rear panel label. For some models, an additional label is located
on the chassis under the front bezel.
•Always recycle used batteries.
•Recycle the package materials or save them for reuse.
