1: SAFETY INFORMATION
American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) is the leading national and international manufac-
turer of state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supplies, redundant switches, power management soft-
ware, and related equipment. APC products protect hardware, software, and data from the threat of
power disturbances in business and government offices throughout the world.
The APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags,
and surges from reaching your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. The UPS filters
out small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally
disconnecting from the utility line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until
the utility line returns to safe levels.
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void the warranty.
HANDLING SAFETY
The UPS requires two people for installation due to its weight. To lighten the UPS, you may remove
the battery while you position it.
<18 kg (<40 lb)
32–55 kg (70–120 lb)
18–32 kg (40–70 lb)
>55 kg (>120 lb)
This equipment is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants. Refer to Specifications at the APC web site www.apc.com/support
, for the actual tem-
perature range.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
The UPS should only be attached to a properly protected receptacle that matches the plug used
on the UPS. Refer to Specifications at the APC web site, www.apc.com/support
for specific plug
ratings.
A licensed electrician is required to change the plug on the UPS and to install permanently wired
equipment.
Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
When grounding, 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.
Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible
shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical grounds.
Connect the equipment to a three wire utility outlet (two poles plus ground). The receptacle must
be connected to appropriate branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection
to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
