Safety Precautions
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC 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 ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Read all instructions in the installation manual before installing or working on
this UPS system.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Do not install the UPS system until all construction work has been completed
and the installation room has been cleaned. If additional construction work is
needed in the installation room after the UPS has been installed, turn off the
UPS and cover the UPS with the protective packaging bag the UPS was
delivered in.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• The product must be installed according to the specifications and
requirements as defined by Schneider Electric. It concerns in particular the
external and internal protections (upstream breakers, battery breakers,
cabling, etc.) and environmental requirements. No responsibility is assumed
by Schneider Electric if these requirements are not respected.
• 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.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The UPS system must be installed according to local and national regulations.
Install the UPS according to:
• IEC 60364 (including 60364-4-41– protection against electric shock, 60364-
4-42 – protection against thermal effect, and 60364-4-43 – protection against
overcurrent), or
• NEC NFPA 70, or
• Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1, Part 1)
depending on which one of the standards apply in your local area.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

INSTRUCTIONS IP52 Kit for UPS
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Install the UPS system in a temperature controlled indoor environment free
of conductive contaminants and humidity.
• Install the UPS system on a non-flammable, level and solid surface (e.g.
concrete) that can support the weight of the system.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
The UPS is not designed for and must therefore not be installed in the following
unusual operating environments:
• Damaging fumes
• Explosive mixtures of dust or gases, corrosive gases, or conductive or
radiant heat from other sources
• Moisture, abrasive dust, steam or in an excessively damp environment
• Fungus, insects, vermin
• Salt-laden air or contaminated cooling refrigerant
• Pollution degree higher than 2 according to IEC 60664-1
• Exposure to abnormal vibrations, shocks, and tilting
• Exposure to direct sunlight, heat sources, or strong electromagnetic fields
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Do not drill or cut holes for cables or conduits with the gland plates installed and
do not drill or cut holes in close proximity to the UPS.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
HAZARD OF ARC FLASH
Do not make mechanical changes to the product (including removal of cabinet
parts or drilling/cutting of holes) that are not described in the installation manual.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
NOTICE
RISK OF OVERHEATING
Respect the space requirements around the UPS system and do not cover the
UPS ventilation openings when the UPS system is in operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not connect the UPS output to regenerative load systems including
photovoltaic systems and speed drives.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Electrical Safety
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.
• 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 utility/mains supply. Before
installing or servicing the UPS system, ensure that the units are OFF and
that utility/mains and batteries are disconnected. Wait five minutes before
opening the UPS to allow the capacitors to discharge.
• A disconnection device (e.g. disconnection circuit breaker or switch) must be
installed to enable isolation of the system from upstream power sources in
accordance with local regulations. This disconnection device must be easily
accessible and visible.
• The UPS must be properly earthed/grounded and due to a high leakage
current, the earthing/grounding conductor must be connected first.
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.

INSTRUCTIONS IP52 Kit for UPS
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.
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Wait until the system is ready to be powered up before installing batteries in
the system. The time duration from battery installation 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,
Schneider Electric recommends 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 equipment damage.
