How to install APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS SRT 2200VA 120V

• Plan placement: Choose a stable, well-ventilated location with enough clearance for heat dissipation. Decide between a tower setup or a rack-mount configuration using the appropriate mounting kit.
• Unpack and inspect: Remove packaging, verify that all components are present, and inspect the UPS and any battery modules for signs of damage before installation.
• Install rack kit (if rack-mounting): Attach the provided rack ears or mounting hardware per the included instructions. Ensure the unit is securely mounted and level to prevent vibration and noise during operation.
• Connect protected devices: Plug servers, switches, storage devices, and other critical equipment into the UPS outlets. Avoid overloading outlets; distribute loads to maintain optimal protection and performance.
• Power and connect: Connect the UPS to a properly rated 120V wall outlet using the supplied power cord. Do not connect a power strip or extension that might exceed the circuit rating.
• Communication setup: Connect the USB or Serial cable to a management computer for monitoring. If you plan remote management, install the optional network management card according to the guide.
• Battery configuration and initial test: Ensure batteries are properly seated. Power on the UPS and run a self-test to confirm systems are operating correctly and the load is within safe limits.
• Initial configuration: Use the onboard LCD interface or PowerChute software to configure high-level settings (voltage regulation, alarm thresholds, notification methods, auto-test schedules) and enable automatic shutdown procedures if needed.
• Maintenance planning: Schedule periodic battery health checks and self-tests to ensure readiness. If you add external battery modules, update the configuration to reflect extended run times.

Frequently asked questions

• What devices should I protect with the Smart-UPS SRT 2200VA 120V? The UPS is ideal for servers, network equipment, storage racks, switches, routers, and other critical IT infrastructure that require clean, reliable power and a controlled shutdown during outages.
• How long will the UPS power my equipment? Runtime depends on the total load and the configuration, including the use of external battery modules. You can extend uptime by adding EBMs and tuning the battery test schedule for your environment.
• Can I monitor and manage the UPS remotely? Yes. The SRT supports USB and Serial connections, and you can add an optional network management card for remote monitoring, alerts, and SNMP/HTTP management via compatible software.
• Is the battery replaceable and can it be serviced without powering down? Batteries are hot-swappable, allowing replacement without fully shutting down protected devices. Follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines during replacement.
• What maintenance or safety considerations should I know? Place the UPS in a ventilated area away from direct sun or moisture. Regular self-tests and battery health checks help ensure long-term reliability. Always adhere to local electrical codes when installing or servicing the unit.
• Will it work with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power grids? The UPS can auto-sense and operate with both 50 Hz and 60 Hz networks, adapting to your region’s electrical standards without manual reconfiguration.
