Hardwire safety
• Check that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits are deenergized, and locked out
before installing cables or making connections, whether in the junction box or to the UPS.
• Wiring by a qualified electrician is required.
• Check national and local codes before wiring.
• Strain relief is required for all hardwiring (supplied with select products). Snap in type strain reliefs are
recommended.
• All openings that allow access to UPS hardwire terminals must be covered. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or equipment damage.

Battery safety
• Servicing of user replaceable batteries should to be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable
about batteries and required precautions.
• The batteries typically last for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated
ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration discharges will shorten battery
life.
• APC by Schneider Electric uses sealed lead acid batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no
contact with the internal components of the battery. Over charging, over heating or other misuse of batteries
can result in a discharge of battery electrolyte. Released electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to the skin
and eyes.
• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatches and rings.
High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be
toxic.
