In order to maintain compliance with the EMC directive, output cords attached to the UPS should not exceed 10 meters in length. Pluggable equipment includes a protective earth conductor that carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer equipment). Total leakage current must not exceed 3.5 mA. DEENERGIZING SAFETY If the unit has an internal energy source (battery), the output may be energized when the unit is not connected to a utility power outlet. To deenergize plu

2: INSTALLATION The UPS has a “rack and stack” design that provides two mounting options. The UPS can be mounted in a 46.5 cm (19-inch) equipment rack or stacked on a battery pack(s) model SU24RMXLBP2U. Hardware is provided for either option. UNPACKING Inspect the UPS upon receipt. APC designed robust packaging for your product. However, accidents and damage may occur during shipment. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage.

STACKING THE UPS ON A BATTERY PACK Note: For rack mounting, proceed to Mounting the UPS in a Rack, below. Do not step on the UPS. The UPS chassis is not designed to sup- port additional weight. When stacking the UPS with an external battery pack, position the UPS on top of the 2U battery pack. The top of the battery pack has indentations for proper placement of the feet on the bottom of the UPS. 1. Unpack the four mounting feet shipped in the mounting kit. 2. Turn the UPS on its side

3. Attach the mounting brackets to the UPS before mounting the UPS in your rack, (below). Each mounting bracket attaches to the UPS with four screws (included). Two sets of bracket holes are located on the sides of the UPS. If you are using a four-post rack, attach the mounting brackets in the forward position. For two post rack mounting attach the brackets at the mid-point position. Four-Post Rack Two-Post Rack Bracket Position Bracket Position 4. Use the handles on the side of

Tighten the screw to secure the lead. • 100V models: In order to operate at the full VA rating of the 1400VA product, the supplied 15A plug must be replaced with a 20A plug. This change must be done by qualified service personnel. Refer to the web site, www.apc.com/support for additional information. 3. Turn on all connected equipment.

SELF-TEST The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and Automatic Self-Test every two weeks thereafter (by default). Refer to User Configur- able Items for details on changing the default interval. Automatic self-test eases maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic manual self-tests. During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the connected equipment on battery. If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to online operation. If the UPS fails the

BATTERY POWER If the utility power fails, the UPS can provide power to the connected equipment from its internal battery for a finite period. The UPS sounds an alarm—four beeps every 30 seconds—while operating on battery power. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to online operation. When the on b

DEFAULT SETTINGS The UPS detects line voltage distortions (such as spikes, notches, dips, Voltage Sensitivity and swells) as well as distortions caused by operation with inexpensive fuel-powered generators. By default, the UPS reacts to distortions by transferring to on-battery operation to protect the connected equipment. Where power quality is poor, the UPS may frequently transfer to on- battery operation. If the connected equipment can operate normally under such conditions, reduce t
