Installation Guide

Smart-UPS On-Line SRT5K/6K Tower/Rack-Mount 3U/4U 3
Battery safety
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.
• 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.
• Replace batteries immediately when the unit indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free sealed Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is
no contact with the internal components of the battery. 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.
• CAUTION: Before installing or replacing the batteries, remove jewelry such as wristwatches 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.
Hardwire safety
• Verify that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits are deenergized, and locked out before
installing cables or making connections, whether in the junction box or to the UPS.
• Wiring by a qualified electrician is required.
• Check national and local codes before wiring.
• Strain relief is required for all hardwiring (supplied with select products).
Snap in type strain reliefs are recommended.
• All openings that allow access to UPS hardwire terminals must be covered. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
• Select wire size and connectors according to national and local codes.
General information
• The UPS will recognize as many as 10 external battery packs connected to the UPS.
Note: For each XLBP added, increased recharge time will be required.
• The model and serial numbers are located on a small, rear panel label. For some models, an additional label is
located on the chassis under the front bezel.
• Always recycle used batteries.
• Recycle the package materials or save them for reuse.
