Safety and General Information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and
batteries.
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any damages.
• This UPS is for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or high
humidity.
• Do not operate the UPS near open windows or doors.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
Note: Allow a minimum of 20 cm clearance on all four sides of the UPS.
• Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and
frequent discharges will shorten battery life. Follow the battery manufacturer recommendations.
• Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
Electrical Safety
• When grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the utility power outlet before installing
or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord only after all connections are made.
• Connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a qualified electrician.
• The protective earth conductor for the UPS carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer
equipment). An insulated ground conductor is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies the
UPS. The conductor must have the same size and insulation material as the grounded and ungrounded
branch circuit supply conductors. The conductor will be green and with or without a yellow stripe.
• The grounding conductor is to be grounded to earth at the service equipment, or if supplied by a separately
derived system, at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
Battery Safety
CAUTION
RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE
• Replace the battery at least every 5 years.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.
• Replace battery at the end of its service life.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-temperature condition, or UPS internal over-
temperature, or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage. Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and
disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the UPS until the batteries have been replaced.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury and equipment damage.
• Servicing of user replaceable batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable
about batteries and required precautions. In this case, batteries is not user replaceable.
• Schneider Electric uses Maintenance-Free sealed Lead Acid batteries. Under normal use and handling, there
is no contact with the internal components of the batteries. 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.
• Use tool with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded battery
can result in electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be reduced if
grounds are removed during installation and maintenance by a skilled person.
Product Description
The Schneider Electric Easy UPS 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 normal levels or the batteries are fully discharged.
This user manual is available on the enclosed documentation CD and on the Schneider Electric website,

Connect the battery
Connect UPS to the external battery pack with a
battery cable. Refer to right chart for external
battery connection.
Please connect the battery according to the
battery voltage indicated on the rear panel. If
the connected battery voltage is incorrect, UPS
may be damaged and cannot be repaired.
Therefore, be sure to confirm that the battery
voltage is in accordance with the UPS
specification.
Be sure to respectively connect red cable to the positive terminal and black cable to the negative terminal of
external battery system. Be sure grounding (green cable) is connected firmly.
Adhere to all national and local electrical codes. Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
The EPO switch is internally powered by the UPS for use with non-powered switches or potential free contacts.
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a unused circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect it only to other SELV circuits. The
EPO interface monitors circuits that have no determined voltage potential. Such closure circuits may be provided
by a switch or relay properly isolated from the utility. To avoid damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO
interface to any circuit other than a unused circuit.
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.
Maintenance Bypass
Maintenance bypass enables the user to isolate the electronic circuitry of the UPS from the mains and the load without
interrupting the load operation by connecting the loads directly to the bypass utility supply.
• This feature is useful while performing maintenance or service and shall only be executed by authorized Technical
Service Personnel.
• During Maintenance Bypass operation; in case of any mains interruption occurs, all loads on the output will be
deenergized. Maintenance Bypass Operation should not be preferred for long time use.

Alarm LED This Alarm LED illuminates red when the UPS detects an error and
blinks red for UPS notifications. See “Alarms” on page 12 and
“Notifications” on page 14 in this manual.
On Line: The UPS is drawing utility power and performing double conversion to supply
power to the connected equipment.
On Battery: The UPS is supplying battery backup power to the connected equipment.
Replace Battery: The battery is not connected securely or the battery is nearing the end of
its service life and should be replaced.
Bypass: The UPS is in bypass mode, sending utility power directly to connected equipment.
Bypass mode operation is the result of an internal UPS event or an overload condition.
Under this condition, see “Alarms” on page 12 and “Notifications” on page 14 in this
manual. This icon in combination with Green Mode icon, indicates that the UPS is in green
mode operation.
System Alarms: An internal fault is detected. See “Alarms” on page 12 in this manual.
ALARM
Overload: The equipment connected to the UPS is drawing more power than rated.
Battery Charge: The battery charge level is indicated by the number of bar sections
illuminated. When all five blocks are illuminated, the battery is fully charged. Each bar
represents approximately 20% of the battery charge capacity.
Load Level: The load percentage is indicated by the number of load bar sections
illuminated. Each bar represents approximately 20% of the maximum load capacity.
Mute: An illuminated line through the icon indicates that the audible alarm is disabled.
Green Mode: An illuminated icon indicates that the unit is working in Green mode. The
connected equipment is receiving the utility input directly as long as the input voltage and
frequency are within the configured limits.
Alarm or notification: The UPS has detected an error or the UPS is in configuration mode.
See “Notifications” on page 14 in this manual.
Event: The icon is illuminated when the user is viewing the event log.
