4.0Installation

4.1Receiving inspection

Once the UPS has been removed from its shipping container, it should be inspected for damage that may have occurred while in transit. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. The packing materials are made from recyclable materials and should be saved for reuse or disposed of properly.

4.2 Protection Strategies

This UPS provides high performance power line protection to the loads. There are, however, other potential entry points for damaging surges in information systems. These include serial ports (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, etc.), parallel ports, telephone lines, and network connections. These other entry points must be considered in developing a comprehensive system protection strategy. Contact your dealer or call the number on the back cover of this manual for information on a complete set of related products designed to accomplish total system protection.

Sensitive information systems can be further safeguarded by following these guide- lines:

νVerify that all electrical outlets are properly grounded.

νConnect information systems to a different electrical service branch than heavy motor loads like air conditioners, copiers, refrigerators, and heavy industrial machinery.

νPlug all power protection and information system equipment into the same branch where possible.

4.3 Moving the UPS

The UPS is heavy and should be moved to the operating site by hand truck. Two people are necessary to load the UPS into position on the truck noseplate. Load the UPS onto the hand truck as shown below. Use hand truck straps to stabilize the load while moving.

Caution:

Never attempt to lift the UPS by the Electronics Unit or by the EU separating

3000, 5000 specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) has long been a leader in the manufacturing of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and among its range of products, the APC 5000 and 3000 series stand out for their robust performance and reliability. These UPS systems are designed to ensure a continuous flow of power, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from fluctuations and outages.

The APC 5000 and 3000 models boast a range of key features that make them suitable for both commercial and residential applications. One of the primary characteristics is their high power capacity. The 5000 model provides a substantial 5000VA/4500W output, while the 3000 variant offers 3000VA/2700W. This enables users to connect multiple devices and critical loads without the risk of overload.

Both models utilize advanced double conversion technology, which ensures that the output power is consistently clean and stable. This technology is crucial for sensitive electronics, as it filters out voltage irregularities, providing pure sine wave output. This characteristic is particularly important for equipment like servers, data centers, and networking hardware, as it enhances their longevity and operational efficiency.

Another notable feature is their extended battery runtime capability. The APC 5000 and 3000 units are designed with hot-swappable batteries, allowing for easy replacement without interrupting the power supply. This enhances the overall reliability of the system, ensuring that even during maintenance, equipment remains operational.

In terms of connectivity, both models come equipped with multiple outlets for various plug types, as well as USB and network ports for monitoring and management. The integration with APC's PowerChute software allows users to manage power preferences, monitor battery health, and receive alerts when attention is needed. This level of monitoring is essential for facilities management teams, allowing them to ensure continuous operations without power-related disruptions.

The APC 5000 and 3000 also feature robust thermal management systems. With built-in fans, these units ensure efficient airflow and heat dissipation, protecting internal components from damage due to overheating.

In conclusion, the APC 5000 and 3000 series represent a powerful solution for those seeking reliable power protection. With their advanced technologies, multiple connectivity options, and serviceability features, these UPS systems stand out as trusted components in any power management strategy. Whether in a data center or a home office, the reliability and efficiency of these models make them invaluable in today’s power-dependent environment.
