Introduction
The APC® by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS® RT is a high-performance, uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) that provides protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts,
brownouts, sags and surges. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates electronic
equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from utility line power. The UPS
provides continuous power from the internal battery until utility power returns to safe levels or the
battery is fully discharged.
INSTALLATION
Read the Safety Guide before installing the UPS.

Use only cables approved by APC.
Any other interface cable will be incompatible with the UPS
connector.
Manual bypass enables the user to manually put connected equipment into
bypass mode.
Emergency Power Off terminal allows the user to connect the UPS to the
central EPO system.
The UPS features a transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS) screw for
connecting the ground lead on surge suppression devices such as telephone
and network line protectors.
When connecting grounding cable, disconnect the unit from the utility
power outlet.
Optional external battery packs provide extended run time during power
outages. These units support up to ten external battery packs.
