Safety and General Information

Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damage.

• This UPS is for indoor use only.

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

• Do not operate the UPS near open windows or doors.

• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
  NOTE: Allow a minimum of 20 cm clearance on all four sides of the UPS.

• Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent discharges will shorten battery life. Follow the battery manufacturer recommendations.

Electrical safety

• Connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• 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 be green and with or without a yellow stripe.
• The grounding conductor is to be grounded to earth at the service equipment, or if supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
• Ensure that a 16 A utility circuit breaker is installed at the UPS input.

Battery safety

RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE

• Replace the battery at least every 5 years or at the end of its service life, whichever is earlier.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-temperature condition or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage. Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the UPS until the batteries have been replaced.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.

• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.

• 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. It may be toxic.

• 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: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high
  short-circuit current. Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

  • Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
  • Do not wear any metal objects including watches and rings.
  • Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
  • Use tools with insulated handles.
  • Wear rubber gloves and boots.
  • Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance by a skilled person.

Hardwiring 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 required.
• Check national and local codes before wiring.
• Strain relief is required for all hardwiring.
• All openings allowing access to UPS hardwiring terminals must be covered. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Select wire size and connectors according to national and local codes.

Radio Frequency Warning

The EPO switch is internally powered by the UPS for use with non-powered switches or potential free contacts.

Normally open (N/O) contacts

1. Retain the metal link between pins 1 and 2.
2. Remove the EPO connector screws beneath pins 2 and 3.
3. Connect N/O relay contacts between pins 2 and 3 of the EPO terminal block. Use 0.5 to 1 mm2 wire.
4. Secure the EPO connector screws beneath pins 2 and 3.
   If the N/O is closed, the UPS will turn off and power will be removed from the load.
   

Normally closed (N/C) contacts

1. Remove the EPO connector screws beneath pins 1 and 2.
2. Remove the metal link between pins 1 and 2.
3. Connect N/C relay contacts between pins 1 and 2 of the EPO terminal block. Use 0.5 to 1 mm2 wire.
4. Secure the EPO connector screws beneath pins 1 and 2.
   If the N/C is open, the UPS will turn off and power will be removed from the load.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a unused circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect it only to other SELV circuits. The EPO interface monitors circuits that have no determined voltage potential. Such closure circuits may be provided by a switch or relay properly isolated from the utility. To avoid damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a unused circuit.

Use one of the following cable types to connect the UPS to the EPO switch.

• CL2: Class 2 cable for general use.
• CL2P: Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air.
• CL2R: Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a floor-to-floor shaft.
• CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways.

External Batteries for SRC1KUXI model

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

• Do not connect a battery string with voltage greater than 24 VDC.
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended charging current.
  Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Use SMF or flooded type batteries for optimum battery charger performance.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended battery charging current rate when configuring the battery charger current setting of the external battery system.

The UPS is intended for use with 24 VDC nominal battery voltage. The external battery system connected to the UPS must not exceed 24 VDC nominal voltage. Refer to the APC by Schneider Electric Web site, www.apc.com or an APC by Schneider Electric dealer for information regarding APC by Schneider Electric external battery solutions.
