Important Safety Instructions
Read the instructions carefully and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device before trying to
install, operate, service or maintain it. The following special messages may appear throughout this document or on
the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

The addition of this symbol to a “Danger” or “Warning” safety label indicates that an
electrical hazard exists which will result in personal injury if the instructions are not
followed.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or
death.

DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.

Product Handling Guidelines

Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damages.

Read the Safety Guide before installing the UPS.

• This UPS is for indoor use only.

• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or high
humidity.
• Do not operate the UPS near open windows or doors.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
Note: Allow a minimum of 20 cm clearance on all four sides of the UPS.
• Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and
frequent discharges will shorten battery life. Follow the battery manufacturer recommendations.
Electrical Safety
• Connect the UPS power cable to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
• When grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the utility power outlet before installing
or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord only after all connections are made.
• Connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• 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 be green and with or without a yellow stripe.
• The grounding conductor is to be grounded to earth at the service equipment, or if supplied by a separately
derived system, at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
• The length of the output cable should not exceed 10m.

Battery Safety
CAUTION
RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE
• Replace the battery at least every 5 years or at the end of its service life, whichever is earlier.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the
equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-temperature condition, or
UPS internal over-temperature, or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage. Power off the
UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the UPS until the
batteries have been replaced.
• *Replace all battery modules (including the modules in External Battery Packs) which are older
than one year, when installing additional battery packs or replacing the battery module(s).
Failure to follow these instructions could result in equipment damage and minor or moderate injury.
• 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.
• Batteries should be replaced before end of life.
• APC by Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free sealed Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and
handling, there is no contact with the internal components of the batteries. 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.
• Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces.
• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and
required precautions.
• Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded battery
can result in electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be reduced if

2 Easy UPS Series SRV 1/2/3 KI-E/KRI-E

 grounds are removed during installation and maintenance by a skilled person.
• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatch 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.
• CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock by high short-circuit current. Contact with any part of
a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The following precautions should be observed when working on
batteries:
– Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
– Use tools with insulated handles.
– Wear rubber gloves and boots.
– Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
– Disconnect charging source and load prior to installing or maintaining the battery.
– Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce likelihood of shock. Remove the
connection from ground if any part of the battery is determined to be grounded.

Radio Frequency Warning

This is a category C2 UPS product. In a residential environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which
case the user may be required to take additional measures.

Product Description
The APC by Schneider Electric Easy UPS is a high performance, uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The UPS helps
to provide protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts, brownouts, sags, and surges and small
utility fluctuations and large disturbances. The UPS also provides battery backup power for connected equipment until
utility power returns to normal levels or the batteries are fully discharged.

Emergency Power Off

The Emergency Power Off (EPO) function is a feature that will immediately remove power to all connected equipment.
When EPO button is pushed, all connected equipment will immediately turn off and will not switch to battery power.

Adhere to all national and local electrical codes. Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
The EPO switch is internally powered by the UPS for use with non-powered switches or potential free contacts.

Normally closed (N/C) contacts

Loosen the screws of terminals 1 and 2 in the
 EPO connector.  Remove the metal link between pins 1 and 2.

 Connect N/C relay contacts between pins 1 and 2

of the EPO terminal block. Use 0.5 to 1 mm2 wire.
 Secure the EPO connector screws beneath pins 1
and 2.

NOTE: If the N/C is open, the UPS will turn off and power will be removed from the load.
Use Class 2 cable (CL2) to connect the Easy UPS to the EPO switch.

10 Easy UPS Series SRV 1/2/3 KI-E/KRI-E

 NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a unused circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

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 unused 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.
