Product Handling Guidelines

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 both front and rear sides of the UPS.

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

• Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.

• The UPS cord shall be connected to an earthed mains socket outlet for safety reasons.

Battery Safety

CAUTION
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 minor or moderate injury and equipment damage.

• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
• APC by Schneider Electric uses Sealed Maintenance-Free Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the batteries. Overcharging, overheating or another misuse of batteries can result in leakage of battery electrolytes. Released electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to the skin and eyes.
• 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, wristwatches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
• CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. 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 the 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.

Connect the Equipment

Battery Backup and Surge Protected outlets
When the Back-UPS is receiving mains power, the Battery Backup with Surge Protection outlets will supply mains power to connected equipment. During a power outage or brown out or sags or surges, the Battery Backup outlets will supply battery power to the connected equipment for a limited time.

Connect equipment such as printers, fax machines, scanners, or other peripherals that do not need battery backup power to the Surge Protection Only outlets. These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS is switched OFF.

1| USB and Serial Data port| To use PowerChute Personal Edition, connect the supplied USB cable or an optional serial cable (not supplied).
---|---|---
2| Building Wiring Fault indicator| If this indicator is illuminated, there is a problem with the wiring in the building. Contact an electrician immediately and do not use the Back-UPS.
3| Surge Protected outlets| These outlets provide full-time protection from surges, even if the Back-UPS is off. Connect equipment such as printers and scanners that do not require battery backup protection.
4| Battery Backup outlets with Surge Protection| During a power outage or brown out or sags or surges, the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the Back-UPS. Connect essential equipment such as desktop computer, computer monitor, modem or other data sensitive devices into these outlets.
5| Circuit Breaker| Use to reset the system after an overload condition has occurred causing the circuit breaker to trip.
