FCC Statement

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety Precautions

DANGER
hazard of electrical shock, explosion or arc flash All safety instructions in this document must be read, understood and followed. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
hazard of electrical shock, explosion or arc flash After the UPS system has been electrically wired, do not start up the system. Start-up must only be performed by Schneider Electric. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Electrical Safety

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of the UPS system.

DANGER
hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Electrical equipment must be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. Disconnection devices for AC and DC must be provided by others, be readily accessible, and the function of the disconnect device marked for its function. Turn off all power supplying the UPS system before working on or inside the equipment. Before working on the UPS system, check for hazardous voltage between all terminals including the protective earth. The UPS contains an internal energy source. Hazardous voltage can be present even when disconnected from the mains supply. Before installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and that mains and batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge. The UPS must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high touch current/leakage current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The label below must be added if:

The UPS input is connected through external isolators that, when opened, isolate the neutral, OR
The UPS input is connected via an IT power system.

The label must be placed adjacent to all upstream power disconnection devices that isolate the neutral.

The label below must be also added if backfeed protection is provided external to the equipment. See Backfeed Protection for more details. The label must be placed adjacent to all upstream power disconnection devices.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Risk of voltage backfeed. Before working on this circuit: Isolate the UPS and check for hazardous voltage between all terminals including the protective earth. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Always perform correct Lockout/Tagout before working on the UPS. A UPS with autostart enabled will automatically restart when the mains supply returns. If autostart is enabled on the UPS, a label must be added on the UPS to warn about this functionality. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Add the label below on the UPS if autostart has been enabled:

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Autostart is enabled. The UPS will automatically restart when the mains supply returns. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash This product can cause a DC current in the PE conductor. If a residual current-operated protective device (RCD) is used for protection against electrical shock, only an RCD of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this product. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Battery Safety

DANGER
hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Battery circuit breakers must be installed according to the specifications and requirements as defined by Schneider Electric. Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unqualified personnel away from batteries. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they can explode. Do not open, alter, or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash Batteries can present a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions must be observed when working on batteries Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. Use tools with insulated handles. Wear protective glasses, gloves and boots. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit). Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER
Hazard of electric shock, explosion, or arc flash When replacing batteries, always replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
risk of equipment damage Mount the batteries in the UPS system, but do not connect the batteries until the UPS system is ready to be powered up. The time duration from battery connection until the UPS system is powered up must not exceed 72 hours or 3 days. Batteries must not be stored more than six months due to the requirement of recharging. If the UPS system remains de-energized for a long period, we recommend that you energize the UPS system for a period of 24 hours at least once every month. This charges the batteries, thus avoiding irreversible damage. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
