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
responsible for compliance could void the warranty.

This equipment is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants. Refer to Specifications at the APC web site for the actual temperature range.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with a 30 Amp maximum branch
circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA or
country specific electrical code.
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.
To reduce the risk of electric shock when grounding, disconnect the equipment from the AC
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 AC 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.
