Smart-UPS 750/1000/1500/2200/3000 VA 120/230 Vac Tower / Rack-Mount 2U2
Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt.
Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damage.
• Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
• All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Changes and modifications to this unit not expressly approved by APC by Schneider Electric could
void the warranty.
• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this unit in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or
humidity.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
• For a UPS with a factory installed power cord, connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not
use surge protectors or extension cords.
• The equipment is heavy. Always practice safe lifting techniques adequate for the weight of the equipment.
Deenergizing safety
The UPS contains internal batteries and may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from the branch
circuit (mains). Before installing or servicing the equipment check that the:
• Input circuit breaker is in the OFF position.
• Internal UPS batteries are removed.
Electrical safety
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Do not handle any metallic connector before power has been disconnected.
• For models with a hardwired input, the connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a
qualified electrician.
• 230 V models only: In order to maintain compliance with the EMC directive for products sold in Europe,
output cords attached to the UPS must not exceed 10 meters in length.
• The protective earth conductor for the UPS carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer
equipment). An insulated ground conductor is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies the
UPS. The conductor must have the same size and insulation material as the grounded and ungrounded
branch circuit supply conductors. The conductor will typically be green, with or without a yellow stripe.
• Leakage current for a pluggable, Type A UPS may exceed 3.5 mA when a separate ground terminal is used.
• The UPS input ground conductor must be properly bonded to protective earth at the service panel.
• If the UPS input power is supplied by a separately derived system, the ground conductor must be properly
bonded at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
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.
• Select wire size and connectors according to national and local codes.
