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 battery typically lasts for five to eight years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality mains power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery life.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• The equipment is heavy. Always practice safe lifting techniques adequate for the weight of the equipment.
• 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
Battery packs connected to the UPS may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from the branch circuit (mains).
Before installing or servicing the equipment verify the following:
• Mains circuit breaker is in the OFF position. The UPS is disconnected from mains or wall outlet.
• Battery packs are disconnected.
Electrical safety
• In order to maintain compliance with the EMC directive for products sold in Europe, output cords 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 supplied by a separately derived system, the ground conductor must be properly
bonded at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
Battery safety
• Schneider Electric uses Lithium Ion (NMC) batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with
the internal components of the battery.
• 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 the battery pack enclosure. Doing so will expose the cell terminals which pose an
energy hazard.
General information
• The UPS will recognize as many as 5 battery packs connected to the UPS.
Note: For each battery pack 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.
Note: Refer to the table “Key to identify rear panel features” on page 9, that provides a key to the callout numbers
for the rear panel graphics depicted in this manual.

In the case of a UPS event, status updates will be displayed defining the event or condition that has occurred.
The display screen illuminates amber to indicate a Message and red to indicate an Alert depending on the severity of the
event or condition.
On-Line mode: The UPS is supplying conditioned mains power to connected equipment.
Bypass mode: The UPS is in Bypass mode and the connected equipment will receive mains
power as long as the input voltage and frequency are within the configured limits.
Green mode: When in Green mode mains power is sent directly to the load.
In the event of a mains power outage, there will be an interruption in power to the load of up to
10 ms while the UPS switches to On-Line or Battery mode.
When enabling Green mode consideration should be given to devices that may be sensitive to
power fluctuations.
