Safety Hazards

Lockout/tagout

Warning: Make sure to follow the lockout/tagout procedures for your site to remove access to a device and physically label the device as intentionally out of service while servicing this equipment.

Electrical hazards

Electrical Hazard: Unless otherwise indicated, remove power before attempting to service this unit. Remove power at the upstream breaker and disconnect the power cords before servicing. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

Electrical Hazard: Follow all local and national electrical codes when installing or servicing a NetworkAIR FM.

Static discharge

Static Discharge: Circuit boards contained within the unit are sensitive to static electricity. Whenever possible, touch only the end-plates and use one or more of these electrostatic-discharge devices (ESDs) while handling the boards: wrist straps, heel straps, toe straps, or conductive shoes. Failure to do so may cause damage to the board and improper operation of the unit.

Safe refrigerant handling

Note: Service to components in the refrigeration loop should be performed only by a certified HVAC technician.

Note: Follow all local and national regulations when handling refrigerants.

Caution: Use applicable safety precautions when working with pressurized systems. Some piping in this unit contains refrigerant that is under pressure. Use care when working with piping or pipe fittings.

Moving parts

Warning: This equipment contains moving parts such as fans. Use care around components that are behind air blocks or separated by doors or access panels.

Tools and parts

Caution: Ensure that all spare parts and tools are removed from the equipment before operation.

DX, FM specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) DX,FM series represents a cutting-edge solution designed for critical power management and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. Aimed at businesses and data centers that require robust power protection, this series balances high-performance capabilities with advanced technology features.

One of the key distinguishing features of the DX,FM series is its modular design. This allows users to scale their UPS system according to their needs, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Whether you're managing a small server room or a large data center, the modular architecture ensures that you can add or remove capacity with ease. This flexibility not only optimizes initial investments but also supports future growth seamlessly.

The series employs advanced battery technology, which extends battery life and enhances overall performance. With intelligent battery management systems, the DX,FM ensures that battery health is monitored in real-time, preventing premature failures and unnecessary replacements. This leads to reduced maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Additionally, the DX,FM series features innovative cooling solutions that enhance performance in high-density situations. Efficient thermal management reduces the risk of overheating, keeping valuable equipment operating optimally. This is particularly crucial in data centers where heat generated by servers can create potential disruptions.

Another significant characteristic of the DX,FM series is its sophisticated monitoring and management capabilities. Integrated with state-of-the-art software, users can gain remote access to their UPS units, enabling real-time tracking of performance metrics. This remote monitoring capability allows administrators to proactively manage power usage and ensure that systems are operating within safe parameters.

Furthermore, the DX,FM series is designed with a high level of redundancy. This built-in reliability feature ensures that if one unit fails, others can seamlessly take over, maintaining power supply continuity. This is critical for mission-critical environments where power outages could result in substantial financial losses or data loss.

In summary, the American Power Conversion DX,FM series incorporates modularity, advanced battery technology, effective cooling solutions, and sophisticated monitoring features to deliver an ideal power management solution for various organizations. Its design prioritizes flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, making it an essential investment for any business looking to safeguard its operations against power disruptions.
