NOTE: Servicing battery modules requires personnel knowledgeable about batteries and precautions.
Deenergizing safety
RBMs typically last 8-10 years; environmental factors affect life. Elevated temperatures, poor power quality, and frequent discharges shorten battery life.
For optimal RBM performance, maintain ambient temperature between 20-25 °C (68-77 °F).
Schneider Electric uses maintenance-free Lithium-Ion batteries. Normal use and handling should not require contact with internal RBM components.
- Do not drive nails into RBM.
- Do not strike RBM with a hammer.
- Do not stand on RBM.
- Do not short circuit RBM.
- Do not place or use RBM near heat or fire.
- Do not use a dropped, damaged, or deformed RBM.
- Do not use RBM to power other equipment.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.
Precautions when working on RBMs:
- Disconnect charging source before connecting/disconnecting battery terminals.
- Do not wear metal objects (watches, rings).
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on batteries.
- Use insulated-handle tools.
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Determine if RBM is grounded. Contact with a grounded battery can cause electric shock and burns. Risk is reduced if grounds are removed by a skilled person.
CAUTION: Before installing or replacing RBMs, remove jewelry like wristwatches and rings.
High short circuit current can cause severe burns.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of RBMs in fire; they may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or tamper with RBM enclosure; this exposes hazardous cell terminals.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate RBM; released material is harmful and may be toxic.
CAUTION: Failed RBMs can reach temperatures exceeding burn thresholds.
The UPS contains RBMs and may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from mains. Before installing/servicing, ensure:
- Input circuit breaker is OFF.
- RBMs are removed.
- XLBPs are disconnected.
Electrical Safety
- Do not handle metallic connectors before power is disconnected.
- Hardwired input connections must be done by a qualified electrician.
- The protective earth conductor carries leakage current from load devices. An insulated ground conductor, typically green or green/yellow, must be installed as part of the branch circuit supplying the UPS.
- UPS input ground conductor must be bonded to protective earth at the service panel.
- Leakage current for pluggable Type A UPS may exceed 3.5 mA with a separate ground terminal.
- If UPS input power is from a separately derived system, ground conductor must be bonded at the supply transformer or motor generator set.
General Information
- The UPS recognizes up to 5 XLBPs (SRTL50RMBP1U-LI).
- NOTE: Charging time increases with each added XLBP.
- Model and serial numbers are on a rear panel label and a draw-out tray label.

Emergency Power Off
Overview
The Emergency Power Off (EPO) option immediately disconnects all connected equipment from mains power. The UPS shuts down and does not switch to battery power. Restart the UPS by touching the POWER button on the front panel.
Normally open contacts
If EPO switch/relay contacts are normally open: Insert wires from switch/contacts at pins 1 and 2 of the EPO terminal block (use 16-28 AWG wire). Secure wires by tightening screws.
If contacts are closed, UPS turns OFF and removes power from load.
Normally closed contacts
If EPO switch/relay contacts are normally closed: Insert wires from switch/contacts at pins 2 and 3 of the EPO terminal block (use 16-28 AWG wire). Insert a wire jumper between pins 1 and 2. Secure wires by tightening screws at positions 1, 2, and 3.
If contacts are opened, UPS turns OFF and removes power from load.
NOTE: Pin 1 is the EPO circuit power source (24 V, few mA).
For normally closed (NC) EPO, use EPO switch/relay rated for "dry" circuit applications (low voltage, low current), typically gold-plated contacts.
The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect only to other SELV circuits. Avoid connecting to circuits other than SELV to prevent UPS damage.
Use appropriate cable types for EPO connection (CL2, CL2P, CL2R, CLEX, CSA certified ELC for Canada, standard low voltage cable elsewhere).
