Product Handling Guidelines
Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damage.
- 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.
Hardwire safety
- Check 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 (supplied with select products). Snap-in type strain reliefs are recommended.
- All openings that allow access to UPS hardwire 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.
Battery safety
WARNING- RISK OF CHEMICAL HAZARD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT
- Replace the battery at least every 10 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 UPS internal over-temperature. 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 death or serious injury.
Note: Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
- The battery typically lasts for five to ten years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor-quality utility power, and frequent short-duration discharges will shorten battery life.
- For longest battery performance, the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68 and 77 °F (20 and 25 °C).
- Replace the battery module immediately if the unit indicates battery replacement is necessary.
- Replace the battery module once the battery module have reached the end of their service life even if the UPS has not indicated that battery replacement is necessary.
- The batteries are user-replaceable. Under normal operating conditions, there is no need for replacement. If attempting to replace batteries,
- Use only APC by Schneider Electric battery modules.
- Do not use third-party batteries as replacements.
- Replace with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.

• Read-Only: Modbus master over TCP/IP protocol is only allowed to get UPS status.
• Read-Write: Modbus master over TCP/IP protocol is allowed to get UPS status and control the UPS.
The port number of UPS Modbus TCP/IP protocol is fixed at 502.
• Master IP Addr| 000.000.000.000| A valid IPv4 address| Specifies the IPv4 address of the Modbus master that will allow connection to the UPS via Modbus TCP/IP protocol
The Master IP Addr when set as 000.000.000.000 will allow connection of external Modbus master with any IP address. When not set as 000.000.000.000, only the Modbus master with the specified IP address is allowed to connect to the UPS.
Example: Master IP Address is set to 192.168.0.10, only Modbus master with IP address 192.168.0.10 could connect to the UPS.

Emergency Power Off
Overview
The Emergency Power Off (EPO) option is a safety 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 UPS 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
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
