Safety and General Information

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. 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’s recommendations.
Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.

Electrical Safety

When grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the utility power outlet before installing or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord only after all connections are made.
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.

Battery Safety

CAUTION

RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE

Replace the battery at least every 5 years. · Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary. · Replace the battery at the end of its service life. · 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, 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 user-replaceable batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. In this case, batteries are not user-replaceable.
APC by Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free Sealed Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the batteries. Overcharging, overheating or other misuse of batteries can result in a discharge of battery electrolyte. Released electrolytes are toxic and may be harmful to the skin and eyes.
Use a tool 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.
