Electrical safety

• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Do not handle any metallic connector before the power has been disconnected.
• For models with a hardwired input, the connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• 230 V models only: 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 input power to 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, with or without a yellow stripe.
• Leakage current for a pluggable, Type A UPS may exceed 3.5 mA when a separate ground terminal is used.
• The UPS input ground conductor must be properly bonded to the 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.

Hardwire safety

• Check that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits are de-energized, 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.

Emergency Power Off

Note: The emergency Power Off feature is available only in SMT2200R2X167

Overview

• The Emergency Power Off (EPO) option is a feature that will immediately shut off power to all connected equipment. When the EPO button is pushed, all connected equipment will immediately turn off and will not switch to battery power.
• Connect each up to the EPO switch. In configurations where multiple units are connected in parallel, each UPS must be connected to the EPO switch.
• The UPS must be restarted for power to return to connected equipment. Press the ON/OFF button on the front panel of the UPS.

CAUTION

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Adhere to all local and national electrical codes.
• Wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Always connect the UPS to a grounded outlet.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury.

Normally open contacts

1. If the EPO switch or relay contacts are normally open, insert the wires from the switch or contacts at pins 1 and 2 of the EPO terminal block. Use 16-28 AWG wire.
2. Secure the wires by tightening the screws.
   If the contacts are closed, the UPS will turn OFF and power will be removed from the load.

Normally closed contacts

1. If the EPO switch or relay contacts are normally closed, insert the wires from the switch or contacts at pins 2 and 3 of the EPO terminal block. Use 16-28 AWG wire.
2. Insert a wire jumper between pins 1 and 2. Secure the wires by tightening the three screws at positions 1, 2, and 3.

• If the contacts are opened, the UPS will turn OFF and power will be removed from the load.
• Note: Pin 1 is the power source for the EPO circuit, it provides a few milliAmps of 24 V power.
• If the normally closed (NC) EPO configuration is used, the EPO switch or relay should be rated for dry circuit applications, the rating should be for low voltage and low current applications. This normally implies the contacts are gold plated.
• The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect the EPO interface only to other SELV circuits. The EPO interface monitors circuits that have no determined voltage potential. SELV circuits are controlled by a switch or relay properly isolated from utility power. To avoid damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a SELV 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.
• Installation in Canada: Use only CSA certified, type ELC, (extra low voltage control cable).
• Installation in countries other than Canada and the USA: Use standard low-voltage cable in accordance with national and local regulations.

Battery Replacement

• Always recycle used batteries.
• For information on recycling a used battery, refer to the Battery Disposal Information sheet
• included with the replacement battery.

Battery life is highly dependent on temperature and use. To identify when to replace batteries, Smart-UPS have a predictive battery replacement date indicator in the “About” menu and automatic (and configurable) self-tests. Proactively replace batteries to maintain the highest availability. To ensure protection and high performance, use only genuine APC replacement battery cartridges (RBC™). The APCRBC contains instructions for battery replacement and disposal. To order a replacement battery go to the APC by Schneider Electric Web site,  www.apc.com.
