INTRODUCTION
The APCTM by Schneider Electric Smart-UPSTM RT is a high performance, uninterruptible power
supply (UPS). The UPS provides protection for electronic equipment from utility power blackouts,
brownouts, sags, and surges and small utility fluctuations and large disturbances. The UPS also
provides battery backup power for connected equipment until utility power returns to safe levels or
the batteries are fully discharged.
This user manual is available on the enclosed Documentation CD and on the
APC by Schneider Electric web site, www.apc.com.

• Adhere to all national and local electrical codes.
• Use #10 AWG gauge (5 mm2) wire.

1. Switch the utility circuit breaker OFF.

2. Remove the input access panel.
3. Remove circular knockout.

4. Run #10 AWG gauge (5 mm2) wire through the access panel, and connect the wires to the
terminal block (Green: Ground, Brown: Hot, Blue: Neutral). Use an appropriate strain relief (not
included).

5. Switch the utility circuit breaker ON.

6. Check line voltages.
7. Replace the access panel.

CONNECTING EQUIPMENT AND POWER TO THE UPS
1. Connect equipment to the UPS (cables not included for XLJ/XLT/XLTW models).
2. Avoid using extension cords.
• 3000 VA XLJ/XLT/XLI/XLTW and 5000 VA XLJ/XLT/XLTW models: Using a power cord,
plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only.
• 5000 VA XLJ models: To draw full 5000 VA from the UPS have a qualified electrician cut
off the input plug and hardwire the UPS to the appropriate power panel.
3. Turn on all connected equipment. To use the UPS as a master ON/OFF switch, ensure all
connected equipment is switched ON. The equipment will not be powered until the UPS is
turned on.

4. To power up the UPS press the button on the front panel.

• The UPS battery charges when it is connected to utility power. The battery charges to 90%
capacity during the first three hours of normal operation. Do not expect full battery run
capability during this initial charge period.
5. For additional computer system security, install PowerChute Server Smart-UPS monitoring
software.

OPERATION

Load SMART-UPS RT FRONT DISPLAY Battery Charge

Indicator Description

Online The Online LED illuminates when the UPS is drawing utility power and performing
double conversion to supply power to connected equipment.

On Battery The UPS is supplying battery power to the connected equipment.

Bypass The Bypass LED illuminates indicating that the UPS is in bypass mode. Utility
power is sent directly to connected equipment during bypass mode operation.
Bypass mode operation is the result of an internal UPS fault, an overload condition
or a user initiated command either through an accessory or the manual bypass
switch. Battery operation is not available while the UPS is in bypass mode. Refer to
Troubleshooting in this manual.

Fault The UPS detects an internal fault.

Refer to Troubleshooting in this manual.

Overload An overload condition exists. See Troubleshooting.

Replace The battery is disconnected or must be replaced. See Troubleshooting.

Feature Function

Cold Start When there is no utility power and the UPS is off, press and hold the button to
power up the UPS and connected equipment.
The UPS will emit two beeps. During the second beep, release the button.

Self-Test Automatic: The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every
two weeks thereafter (by default). During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the
connected equipment on battery.

Manual: Press and hold the button for a few seconds to initiate the self-test.

Diagnostic Utility Voltage The UPS has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage. Plug
the UPS into the normal utility power.

The UPS starts a self-test as part of this procedure. The self-test

does not affect the voltage display.

Press and hold the button to view the utility voltage bar graph
display. The five-LED, Battery Charge display on the right of the
front panel shows the utility input voltage.
Refer to the figure at left for the voltage reading (values are not listed
on the UPS).
The display indicates the voltage is between the displayed value on the
list and the next higher value.

CONNECTING THE EPO (EMERGENCY POWER OFF) OPTION
The output power can be disabled in an emergency by closing a switch connected to the EPO.
Adhere to National and local electrical codes when wiring the EPO.

EPO
switch

The EPO switch is internally powered by the UPS for use with non-powered switch circuit breakers.
The EPO circuit is considered a Class 2 circuit, (UL, CSA standards) and a SELV circuit (IEC
standard).
Both Class 2 and SELV circuits must be isolated from all primary circuitry. Do not connect any
circuit to the EPO terminal block unless it can be confirmed that the circuit is Class 2 or SELV.
If circuit standard cannot be confirmed, use a contact closure switch.
Use one of the following cable types to connect the UPS to the EPO switch:
• CL2: Class 2 cable for general use
• CL2P: Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air.
• CL2R: Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a floor to floor shaft.
• CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways.
• For installation in Canada: Use only CSA certified, type ELC (extra-low voltage control cable).

MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORT
Replacing the Battery Module
This UPS has an easy to replace, hot-swappable battery module. Replacement is a safe procedure,
isolated from electrical hazards. You may leave the UPS and connected equipment on during the
procedure. See your dealer or go to the APC by Schneider Electric web site, www.apc.com for
information on replacement battery modules.
The battery replacement procedure must include replacing all battery modules in the UPS and
connected external battery pack(s).

Once the battery(s) are disconnected, the connected equipment is not protected
from power outages.
Be careful during battery replacement, the battery modules are heavy.
Be sure to deliver spent batteries to a recycling facility or ship to the manufacturer
in the replacement battery packing material.
