The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until the utility line returns to safe levels or the battery is fully discharged. 1: INSTALLATION Unpack Read the Safety Guide before installing the UPS. The User Manual and Safety Guide are accessible on the supplied User Manuals CD and on the APC web site, Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage.

Placement of the UPS The UPS is heavy. Select a location sturdy enough to handle the weight. Do not operate the UPS in excessive dust or in temperature and humidity outside the specified limits. 1 PLACEMENT Mount the UPS in a Rack Your UPS model may vary from the examples depicted in this manual. .. Install brackets as shown, or at a 5 in (12.7 cm) .. Remove the battery module to lighten the UPS setback. during installation. Note: The module is heavy. • Install the UPS at or near the bottom of the • Reinstall the battery module. rack. • Connect the battery module. • Attach the front bezel. 2 Connect Equipment and Power to the UPS Startup 1. Connect equipment to the UPS. A laser printer draws significantly more power than other types of equipment and may overload the UPS. 2. Add optional accessories to the Smart-Slot. 3. Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only. Avoid using extension cords. 230 V model: The power cord is supplied in the UPS cable kit. The TVSS ground, located on the rear panel of the UPS must be connected prior to connecting the utility power. 4. 120 V model: Check the site wiring fault LED located on the rear panel. It will be illuminated if the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired utility power outlet, (see Troubleshooting). 5. Turn on all connected equipment. To use the UPS as a master on/off switch, be sure all connected equipment is on. 6. Press the button on the front panel to power the UPS. • The battery charges to 90% capacity during the first four hours of normal operation. Do not expect full battery run capability during this initial charge period. 7. For optimal computer system security, install PowerChute Smart-UPS monitoring software. Rear Panels 100/120 V 208 V 230 V 3 Basic Connectors Serial USB TVSS Use only interface kits approved by APC. Port Port Screw Use only the supplied cable to connect to the Serial Port. A standard serial interface cable is incompatible with the UPS. Serial and USB Ports cannot be used simultaneously. The UPS features a transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS) screw for connecting the ground lead on surge suppression devices such as telephone and network line protectors. Prior to connecting grounding cable, disconnect the UPS from utility power. Emergency Power Off The Emergency Power Off (EPO) feature is user configurable. EPO provides immediate de- energizing of connected equipment from a remote location, without switching to battery operation. 1. Use the EPO connector supplied with the UPS. 2. Use a normally-open contact to connect the +24 terminal to the IN terminal, (see diagram). 3. Wire the four-pin connector to the EPO system. EPO Connector EPO Port (located on rear panel) IN +24 The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect it only to other SELV circuits. The EPO interface monitors circuits that have no determined voltage potential. Such closure circuits may be provided by a switch or relay properly isolated from the utility. To avoid damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a closure type circuit. Use one of the following cable types to connect the UPS to the EPO switch: • CL2: Class 2 cable for general use • CL2P: Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air. • CL2R: Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a floor to floor shaft. • CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways. • For installation in Canada: Use only CSA certified, type ELC (extra-low voltage control cable). 4 2: OPERATION Front Display Panel INDICATOR DESCRIPTION Online The UPS is supplying utility power to the connected equipment (see Troubleshooting).
