How to install APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS 48V 1kVA 1.5kVA RM Battery Pack

• Step 1: Power down the connected Smart-UPS SRT unit or place it into a safe, maintenance-enabled state per your facility policy. Ensure all connected equipment is safely shut down to avoid data loss or hardware impact during installation.
• Step 2: Disconnect power at the UPS input and discharge any remaining energy following your safety procedures. This minimizes risk during battery replacement or upgrade and helps protect the unit’s electronics.
• Step 3: Access the rear battery compartment or external battery bay of the UPS. If replacing an existing pack, locate the connector block and note the orientation for correct seating of the new pack.
• Step 4: Align and connect the new 48V RM battery pack to the UPS using the standard battery connector and mounting hardware. Confirm a secure, firm connection and verify that the pack seats fully into its chassis bay. Avoid forcing connectors or bending cables during installation.
• Step 5: Secure the external battery pack in place using the provided mounting screws or rails, ensuring there is no movement that could loosen connections during operation. Reattach any covers or panels and reconnect any cables you removed.
• Step 6: Reconnect power to the UPS and perform a power-on self-test (POST) or a user-initiated test sequence if your system supports it. Monitor the LCD panel or management software for battery status, voltage, and estimated runtime under load.
• Step 7: Allow the battery to reach full charge before placing the system under normal operation. If this is a first install or a field replacement, expect a calibration period during which the UPS learns the battery’s characteristics and adjusts runtime estimates accordingly.
