Introduction – General Safety Instructions
General safety
WARNING!
All electrical power and control wiring must be installed by a qualified electrician and
comply with local and national codes
WARNING!
When connected, the UPS contains energy from both AC and DC sources. If the UPS
has dual mains supply, be aware of the two AC supply sources. Hazardous voltage from
batteries may be present even when the unit is disconnected from the utility power
source(s). Follow the Total-Power-Off procedure in this manual to completely de-
energize the system. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting
battery terminals.
WARNING!
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable
of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from
batteries.
WARNING!
Batteries do not contain serviceable parts. Only APC authorized personnel may open
batteries.
WARNING!
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode. Do not open or
mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It
may be toxic.
WARNING!
Risk of Energy Hazard, 96 V, 7.2 Ampere-hour battery. Before replacing batteries,
remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. High energy through conductive
materials could cause severe burns.
WARNING!
When handling batteries, wear rubber gloves and boots. Do not lay tools or metal
objects on top of batteries.

Introduction – General Safety Instructions
WARNING!

For the stability of 14/351 mm stand-alone Enclosures, the transport brackets (re-use of
brackets used to secure the UPS to the shipping pallet) must always be mounted on both
sides of the UPS. Follow the Seismic Anchoring procedures.

Seismic Anchoring Preparation
If seismic protection is required in your area, read this section. If not, proceed to
Operating Environment. However, if you install a 14in/351mm Enclosure, it must
always be equipped with the Enclosure Stabilizing Bracket for enhanced stability (not
necessary to bolt the Enclosure Stabilizing Bracket to the floor in non-seismic areas).
Drilling floor holes for seismic anchoring

If your UPS installation requires seismic protection, the UPS installation must be
anchored to the floor, re-using the brackets that also secured the Enclosure to the pallets
when shipped. For easy determination of where to drill the holes, refer to the applicable
drawings below indicating hole positions and size.

Wiring Verification Procedure
Do not connect batteries in the UPS.
Use following procedure to verify that the UPS has been wired properly:
 1. If your installation includes an XR Enclosure, make sure that the DC breaker (if
available) is in the OFF position and that both 125A fuses are removed from the
XR Enclosure.
 2. Check that the power wiring is torqued to 45 lbf.in/5Nm.
 3. If your installation includes an XR Enclosure, remount the 125A fuses in the XR
Enclosure and check that the DC breaker (if available) on the XR Enclosure is in
the ON position.
 4. Apply utility power to the system input and measure the voltage at the input
terminal block. Record voltages between:
Mains Input:
L1 and N: _________ L2 and N: ________ L3 and N: _______
Bypass Input (for dual mains installations):
L1 and N: _________ L2 and N: ________ L3 and N: _______
Measured voltage must be between 96 and 130. If not, STOP! Verify correct wiring
(correct location of N) from the power source to the input wiring connections.
 5. Check that the display is powered up.

 6. Select the Status Menu on the display, and check that all input voltages are present.
 7. Verify L1, L2, L3 clockwise phase rotation using a phase-rotation meter.
 8. Test the EPO switch. The system should shut down completely. If not, check the
connections and the EPO switch to ensure that they are installed and functioning
correctly. For installations with XR Battery Enclosures, the DC disconnect should
trip to the OFF position at the EPO test (if applicable).
 9. Successful completion of steps 1 through 5 indicates that the UPS wiring is
correctly installed and functioning correctly. Turn off breakers and switches and
shut down utility power to the system input. See Total-Power-Off Procedure.
