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.

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

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.

Important Safety Instructions — SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
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.

NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
To ensure correct load sharing in bypass operation in a parallel system:
• All bypass cables must be the same length for all UPSs.
• All output cables must be the same length for all UPSs.
• All input cables must be the same length for all UPSs (only required in single
mains system).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTE: The UPS is preconfigured for TNS earthing system. 3-wire installation
using a bonding busbar will result in a higher leakage current.
1. Only for TN-C/3-wire earthing system: Move the bonding busbar from
position (A) to position (B) to connect the N busbar to the PE busbar.
Rear View of UPS
2. Only for dual mains system: Remove the indicated single mains jumper
cables located behind the output/bypass terminals.

Connect the Signal Cables
NOTE: Route the signal cables separately from the power cables and route
the Class 2/SELV cables separately from the non-Class 2/non-SELV cables.
1. Connect the Class 2/SELV signal cables from the building EPO to board 640–
4864 terminal J6600 in the UPS according to one of the options below.
The EPO circuit is considered Class 2/SELV. Class 2/SELV circuits must be
isolated from the primary circuitry. Do not connect any circuit to the EPO
terminal block unless it can be confirmed that the circuit is Class 2/SELV.
EPO Configurations (640–4864 terminal J6600, 1–9)
The EPO input supports 24 VDC.
NOTE: The default setting for the EPO activation is to turn off the inverter.
If you want the EPO activation to transfer the UPS into forced static
bypass operation instead, please contact Schneider Electric.
2. Connect the Class 2/SELV signal cables from the auxiliary products to board
640–4864 in the UPS. Follow the instructions in the auxiliary product

Connect the External Communication Cables UPS with Up to 2 Internal Battery Strings
Connect the Modbus Cables
1. Connect the Modbus cables to the UPS(s). Use either 2–wire or 4–wire
connection. Shield the cables as shown.
• Shielded twisted pair cables must be used for Modbus connections. The
shield connection to the ground must be as short as possible (ideally
below 1 cm). The shield must be connected to each device.
• Wiring should be done in accordance with local wiring codes.
• Route signal cables separately from power cables to ensure sufficient
isolation.
• The Modbus port is optically isolated. The ground of the Modbus port is
not connected to any other ground.
Example: 2–Wire Connection with Two UPSs
Example: 4–Wire Connection with Two UPSs
2. Install 150 Ohm termination resistors at each end of each bus if the buses are
very long and operate at high data rates. Busses under 610 meters (2000
feet) at 9600 baud or under 305 meters (1000 feet) at 19.200 baud should not
require termination resistors.

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.
WARNING
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.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
