Safety Information
• Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
• All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
•Changes and modifications to this unit not expressly approved by APC coul d void the warranty.
• This transformer is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this transformer in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust
hu
midity.
• Be sure the air vents on the transform e r are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation .
• For a transformer with a factory installed power cord, connect the transformer power cable directly to an ou
eceptacle of the UPS. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
r
• The equipment is heavy. Always practice safe lifting techniques adequate for the weight of the equipment.
•For rack mount transformers, always install the transformer directly above the UPS in rack-m ount conf iguratio ns
Th
e UPS must be installed below the transformer.
• Always install peripheral equipment above the UPS in rack-mount configurations.

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, output
cords attached to the transformer must not exceed 10 meters in length.
• The protective earth conductor for the transformer carries the leakage current from the load devices (compu
uipment). An insulated ground conductor is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies
eq
ransformer. The conductor must have the same size and insulation material as the grounded and unground
t
b
ranch 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 supplied by a separately derived system, the ground conductor must be properly
bonded at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
Hardwire safety
• Verify that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits are deenergized, and locked out before
i
nstalling cables or making connections, whether in the junction box or to the transformer.
• Wiring by a qualified electrician is required.
• Check national and local codes before wiring.
•
openings that allow access to transformer hardwire terminals must be covered. Failure to do so may result in
