Important Safety Information
Read the instructions carefully to become familiar with the equipment before
trying to install, operate or maintain it. The following special messages may
appear throughout this manual or on the equipment to warn of potential
hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a
procedure.

The addition of this symbol to a Danger or Warning safety label

indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result in
personal injury if the instructions are not followed.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential

personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this
symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can

result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE used to address practices not related to physical injury. The safety alert
symbol is not used with this signal word.
Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there
is any damage.

• This parallel kit is for indoor use only.

• Do not operate this parallel kit in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids,
or where there is excessive dust or high humidity.
• Do not operate the parallel kit near open windows or doors.

Electrical safety
• Connection to the branch circuit (mains) must be performed by a
qualified electrician.
• The protective earth conductor for the parallel kit carries the leakage
current from the load devices (computer equipment). An insulated
ground conductor is to be installed as part of the branch circuit that
supplies the UPS. The conductor must have the same size and insulation
material as the grounded and ungrounded branch circuit supply
conductors. The conductor will be green and with or without a yellow
stripe.
• The grounding conductor is to be grounded to earth at the service
equipment, or if supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply
transformer or motor generator set.

Hardwiring safety
• Verify that all branch circuit (mains) and low voltage (control) circuits
are deenergized, and locked out before installing cables or making
connections, whether in the parallel box or to the UPS.
• Wiring by a qualified electrician is required.
• Check national and local codes before wiring.
• Select wire size and connectors according to national and local codes.
• Strain relief is required for all hardwiring.
• All openings allowing access to parallel kit hardwiring terminals must
be covered. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment
damage.

Product Description
The APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS™ SRCPK0506 provides parallel
redundancy between two identical and stand alone SRCE6KUXI UPS models.
The redundant system helps to protect the connected load from dropping when
one of the parallel systems is rendered unavailable, either due to discharged
batteries connected to it, or line drop outs or when the UPS detects an internal
failure.
