Safety and General 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 could void the warranty.

• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.

• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or
humidity.

• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.

• For a UPS with a factory installed power cord, connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not
use surge protectors or extension cords.

• 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.

• Always 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 found in the Safety Guide supplied with this unit.

Deenergizing safety

• The UPS contains internal batteries and may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from AC and
DC power.

• The AC and DC output connectors may be energized by remote or automatic control at any time.

• Before installing or servicing the equipment check that the:

– Input 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 electrician.

• Have a proper grounding for input socket for the models with pluggable power cords.

• 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 supplied by a separately derived system, the ground conductor must be properly
bonded at the supply transformer or motor generator set.

• Leakage current for a pluggable Type A UPS may exceed 3.5 mA when a separate ground terminal is used.

Smart-UPS On-Line SRT1000/SRT1500 XLI Tower/Rack-Mount 2U2

Battery safety

• When replacing batteries, replace with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the
equipment.

• Batteries typically last for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.
Batteries should be replaced before end of life.

• Replace batteries immediately when the unit indicates battery replacement is necessary.

• Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free sealed Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and handling, there
is no contact with the internal components of the battery. Over charging, over heating or other misuse of
batteries can result in a discharge of battery electrolyte. Released electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to
the skin and eyes.

• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist
watches and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.

• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material 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.

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.

Product Description

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 acceptable levels or the batteries are completely discharged.

This user manual is available on the enclosed Documentation CD and on the APC by Schneider Electric web site,
www.apc.com.
