User Manual English APC Smart-UPS® RT – UXI/UXICH 8000/10000 VA 220/230/240 VAC Tower/Rack-Mount 6U Uninterruptible Power Supply 990-2687B 04/2006
Introduction The APC Smart-UPS® RT is a high-performance, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that provides protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts, brownouts, sags and surges. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates electronic equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from utility line power. The UPS provides continuous power from the internal battery until utility power returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged.
ATTACH THE BEZEL TO THE UPS HARDWIRING INSTRUCTIONS • Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. • Adhere to all national and local electrical codes. • Install a utility circuit breaker for input wiring, (see tables below). 220/230/240 V MODELS Input Connections Output Connection (optional) Single-Phase: Wire to L1, N, and Three-Phase: Wire to L1, L2, L3, N, and System SURT8000 SURT10000 Wire to L1A, N1, and . . .
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Switch the UPS input circuit breaker (see A in diagram) and utility circuit breakers OFF. Remove the input access panel, (see B in diagram). Remove circular knockout. Run appropriate size wire through the access panel, and connect to the terminal block, (Green: Ground, Brown: Hot, Blue: Neutral). Connect the ground wire first. Use appropriate strain reliefs, (not included). For three-phase input, set the input phase selector switch, (see C in diagram) to “3”.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS 8000/10000 VA Input Circuit Breaker The input circuit breaker must be switched on for the UPS to operate. The input circuit breaker protects the UPS from extreme overload conditions. 8000/10000 VA Output Circuit Breakers IEC 320-C13 10 A total current from four receptacles IEC 320-C19 16 A for each receptacle BASIC CONNECTORS Serial Com Power management software and interface kits can be used with the UPS. Use only interface kits supplied or approved by APC.
CONNECT THE EXTERNAL BATTERIES Battery Safety Read and adhere to the following warnings when installing or servicing the external batteries. Failure to observe these warnings may result in serious injury, death or damage to the equipment. WARNINGS • Do not attempt to install or service external batteries alone. A qualified electrician should perform the installation and servicing of external batteries. • Disconnect charging source(s) BEFORE connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
THIRD PARTY BATTERY SOLUTION Batteries must be Sealed Lead-Acid type. Use 50 A, 250 VDC fuses with an Interrupt rating of ≥ 20,000 A. Ensure that the external batteries are wired prior to connecting the batteries to the UPS. Two separate, isolated 192 V battery systems are required when using a third party battery solution. One cable assembly must be wired to each 192 V battery system. Two cable assemblies are included with the UPS, one for each 192 V battery system.
CONNECT EQUIPMENT AND POWER TO THE UPS 1. Connect equipment to the UPS. 2. Turn on all connected equipment. To use the UPS as a master ON/OFF switch, ensure all connected equipment is switched ON. The equipment will not be powered until the UPS is turned on. 3. Switch the utility circuit breaker on. 4. To power up the UPS press the 5. button on the front panel. • The UPS battery charges when it is connected to utility power.
TERMINAL MODE TO CONFIGURE UPS PARAMETERS AND PROGRAM THE NUMBER OF BATTERY PACKS Terminal Mode is a menu driven interface that enables enhanced configuration of the UPS. Connect the serial cable from the computer to the serial com connector on the back of the UPS. Instructions for use with PowerChute Network Shutdown software: 1. 2. 3. Open a terminal program. Example: HyperTerminal • From the Desktop, go to Start => Programs => Accessories => Communication =>HyperTerminal.
OPERATION SMART-UPS RT FRONT DISPLAY Load Battery Charge Indicator Description Online The Online LED illuminates when the UPS is drawing utility power and performing double conversion to supply power to connected equipment. On Battery The UPS is supplying battery power to the connected equipment. Bypass The Bypass LED illuminates indicating that the UPS is in bypass mode. Utility power is sent directly to connected equipment during bypass mode operation.
Feature Function Normal/Bypass Manual bypass enables the user to manually put connected equipment into bypass mode. While in bypass mode the utility power bypasses the UPS and goes directly to the connected equipment. Battery operation is not available while the UPS is in bypass mode. Refer to Troubleshooting in this manual. Cold Start This is not a normal condition. When there is no utility power and the UPS is off, press and hold the to power up the UPS and connected equipment.
