General safety

  • 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 by Schneider Electric could void the warranty.
  • This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
  • Do not operate this unit 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.

Deenergizing safety

The UPS contains internal batteries and may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from the branch circuit (mains). Before installing or servicing the equipment check that the:

  • Input circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
  • Internal UPS batteries are removed.

Electrical safety

  • Use tools with insulated handles.
  • Do not handle any metallic connector before 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 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 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

RISK OF CHEMICAL HAZARD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT

  • Recycle the UPS when the UPS battery error is detected at the end of its service life. Power off the UPS and unplug it from the AC input.
  • The battery is not user replaceable. Contact APC by Schneider Electric Worldwide Customer Support if there are defects in the product and the product is within warranty.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury

Note: Servicing of user replaceable batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. In this case batteries are not user replaceable.

  • The batteries typically last for 10 years and operate between 0 and 40 °C. 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. Due to the long life of the batteries, we recommend replacing the unit entirely. For longest battery performance, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68 and 77 °F (20 and 25 °C).

  • This unit uses Lithium Ion (LFP) batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the battery.

  • Servicing of user replaceable batteries should to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. In this case, batteries are not user replaceable.

  • Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

  • 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 plastic case of the batteries. Doing so will expose the cell terminals which pose
    an energy hazard.

  • CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
    eyes. It may be toxic.

  • CAUTION: Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.

  • CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current.

General information
