Safety SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions for the SUVT series that should be followed when handling the Service Bypass Panel (SBP) with Power Distribution (wall-mount). Safety warnings WARNING! Warning Only APC-trained personnel who are familiar with the construction and operation of this equipment, as well as the mechanical and electrical hazards involved, may perform this installation.
Safety Live maintenance precautions APC does NOT recommend performing live maintenance to the SBP. However, APC is aware that due to the critical nature of data center loads, live maintenance may occur. If providing live maintenance, observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock. 1. Never work alone. Caution 2. Only a certified electrician who is trained in the hazards of live electrical installation should perform the maintenance. 3.
Introduction This manual provides step-by-step instruction on how to install and operate the wall-mount version of the Smart-UPS® VT Service Bypass Panel (SBP) with Power Distribution. This UL-listed unit was designed to operate in conjunction with the Smart-UPS® VT 10-30kVA, 280V UPS. The lower section of the SBP contains switches that facilitate the transfer of power from the UPS to bypass operation to allow maintenance to be performed on the UPS.
Product Overview Features The wall-mount version of the Smart-UPS® VT Service Bypass Panel (SBP) with Power Distribution combines bypass functionality with power distribution capability in a common enclosure. The unit measures 37.36in [949mm] high x 29.53in [750mm] wide x 7.48in [190mm] deep, and weighs approximately 120lbs [54.5kg]. The SBP can be installed quickly and easily to almost any type of sturdy wall structure (refer to “Mounting the SBP” on page 10).

Shipping and Receiving Shipping The wall-mount version of the Smart-UPS VT SBP with Power Distribution is shipped in a corrugated box, and protected during shipment by specially designed internal packaging. Front door keys and all appropriate documentation are stored in a plastic sleeve inside the box. Receiving 1. Upon receipt, inspect the box for obvious signs of rough handling/external damage. 2. Transport the box to the installation site using a dolly or a hand-truck.
Considerations Environmental • The wall area selected for the SBP installation must be structurally sound and able to accommodate the size and weight of the unit. Refer to “Mounting the SBP” on page 10. • The SBP should be kept in a climate-controlled environment having a temperature range of 0° to 40°C [32° to 104°F] and a relative humidity of 0% to 95%, non-condensing. • The SBP must be protected at all times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive elements, and other contaminants.
Installation Overview WARNING! Warning Review “Safety” on page 1 before starting this installation. Pay strict attention to all safety warning and caution notices! • ALL INTERNAL cable connections were made prior to shipment. • EXTERNAL cable connections with the UPS need to be made on-site. EXTERNAL cable connections from the utility also need to be made on-site. EXTERNAL cable is not supplied. • Control wire connections between the UPS and the SBP additionally need to be made on-site.
Installation Removing the front door (optional) Front door removal is NOT a requirement for this installation. However, removing the door will allow better access to the internal components. Note 1. Place the SBP on its back such that its front door is facing straight up. 2. Use the enclosed keys to unlock and then open the front door. 3. Disconnect the internal ground cable from the ground stud on the door. Use an M10 nut driver to remove the M6 flange nut securing the cable to the stud. 4.
Installation Mounting the SBP APC recommends mounting the SBP to 3/4” plywood backing (36in [914mm] L x 28in [711mm] W). 1. Attach the 3/4” plywood securely to the designated wall area. The wall should be strong enough to support the 120lb [54.5kg] SBP. Leave at least 18in [457mm] of space between the floor and the bottom of the plywood. Use appropriate hardware for the type of wall employed. 2. Measure and mark four (4) mounting-hole locations on the plywood backing.
Installation Internal cable connections For the convenience of the installer, ALL internal SBP cable connections were made prior to shipment.
Installation Making external cable connections External cables can enter the SBP through any of the available 1-inch [25.4mm] knockouts, or by making larger cutouts in the top or bottom plates of the enclosure. Each plate offers 22 knockouts and the ability to create up to four (4) 2-inch [50.8mm] cutouts. Prior to making any of the following external cable connections, establish an appropriate point of access by knocking out a 1-inch hole or cutting a larger hole in the top or bottom plate.
Installation UPS connections. • UPS cables can enter through the top or the bottom of the SBP. However, BOTTOM is recommended. Note • Refer to the Smart-UPS VT 10-30kVA, 208V Installation Manual (p/n 990-1598) for SBP cable connections at the UPS. 1. Connect the four (4) UPS inputs [L1, L2, L3, N, top-to-bottom] to the Q1 Switch in the SBP. Use a 4mm Allen wrench and torque to 24 in-lbs [2.71 Nm]. 2. Connect the four (4) UPS outputs [L1, L2, L3, N, top-to-bottom] to the Q2 Switch in the SBP.
Installation Re-attaching the front door • This section applies only if the front door was removed at the start of the installation process. If you chose not to remove the door, ignore this section. Note • Re-attaching the front door requires at least two people: one to hold the door in place, and the other to make the necessary hardware connections. 1. Holding the door at an angle to the SBP enclosure, re-insert the three (3) hinge clips into the three (3) door hinges. 2.
Installing Panel Board Breakers This section describes how to install breakers to the SBP’s 42-position panel board. WARNING! Electrical Hazard Before installing breakers, make sure ALL SBP switches are in the OFF position. From normal operation, first switch Q2 OFF, and then switch Q1 OFF. 1. Use the enclosed keys to unlock and open the front door of the SBP. 2.
SBP Operation The SBP with Power Distribution supports four (4) modes of UPS operation: 1) Normal, 2) Battery Back-up, 3) Static Bypass, and 4) Bypass. The process of changing from one operational mode to another requires a series of automated and manual tasks. Automated tasks are initiated from the user interface at the front of the UPS and may require switches on the SBP to be turned ON or OFF, depending on the operational mode.
SBP Operation Battery back-up operation The UPS will automatically transfer from normal operation to battery back-up operation in instances when utility power is lost or degraded. The heavier line shows the flow of battery-supplied power through the UPS and Q2. Be aware that this transfer of power CANNOT take place when the UPS is operating in static bypass mode or bypass mode.
SBP Operation Bypass operation Bypass operation allows the UPS to be serviced while the load is still being supported by the utility. To achieve bypass operation after attaining static bypass mode, the following actions must take place at the SBP: 1) Switch Q3 ON, 2) Switch Q2 OFF, and 3) Switch Q1 OFF.

Appendix B: Changing Fuses WARNING! Electrical Hazard Before changing fuses, make sure ALL SBP switches are in the OFF position. From normal operation, first switch Q2 OFF, and then switch Q1 OFF. Replace ALL blown fuses with Bussmann “Class J” 90 Amp fuses (p/n JKS-90). Note Removing fuses 1. Open the front door of the SBP to access the fuse block. Use the enclosed front door keys. 2. Using a plastic or insulated fuse puller, tightly grasp the center section of the blown fuse. 3.
