IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: ALL safety instructions in the Safety Sheet

(990-2940) must be read, understood and followed when installing the UPS system. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage, serious injury, or death.

Heavy: APC recommends that two people mount the

Maintenance Bypass Panel (MBP) to the wall—one person to lift and hold the enclosure, and a second person to secure it to the wall.

Caution: All electrical power and power control wiring must be installed by a qualified electrician, and must comply with local and national regulations for maximum power rating.

Site Planning

Note: APC strongly recommends mounting the MBP to a minimum 20 mm (3/4 in) thick plywood board or similar solid backing that has approximate dimensions.

Note: Ensure that the wall area you selected to install the

MBP is structurally sound and able to support the size and weight of the unit.

Note: Protect the MBP at all times from excessive moisture, construction dirt, corrosive elements, or other contaminants.

Note: When choosing a location to mount the MBP, consider the need for easy access to all breakers and internal components.

Space requirements

Refer to the following figure to determine the space requirements for installing the MBP. Consult local codes for any additional requirements. Ideally, install the MBP in a location close to the UPS.

Prepare for cables

Note: All external cable connections with the UPS and mains must be made on-site. External cables are not supplied with the equipment.

Note: All control wire connections between the UPS and the

MBP must be made on-site. Control wires are not supplied with the equipment.

Create knockouts for cable access

Note: You can create knockouts for cable access either before or after you have mounted the MBP to the wall. APC recommends creating all necessary knockouts prior to mounting the MBP to the wall.

 Open the front door.

 Use a knockout punch to create appropriate-sized holes for two inch and one inch cable conduits in either the top or bottom plate of the MBP.

Mount the MBP to the wall

 Mount the plywood

(or other backing) to the wall by using appropriate hardware for the type of wall used.

 457 mm (18 in) 

 Measure and mark the four mounting hole locations on the wall.

 Drill holes in each of the four marked locations.



 Lift the MBP, position it against the backing and line it up with the four mounting holes. Secure the MBP with four M8 (3/8 in) bolts and flat washers.

Connect Communication Cables

Note: For the connection of a Q3 auxiliary signal, use a 1-

1.5 mm 2

( 18-16 AWG) copper wire.

 Connect a copper wire between the UPS (J106 port 5) and the MBP

(X010 port 7 on the control terminal block).

 Connect a copper wire between the UPS (J106 port

6) and the MBP (X010 port
