16KVA APC Symmertra looking for a home (free)

[Charles Jones]

We have a rather large APC Symmertra SYMSTRF-PD UPS unit + battery 
modules that I would be willing to donate (FREE - just come take it 
away). If anyone is interested in a *data-center* class UPS unit, please 
contact me via email (email only please).

The unit is similar to this one: 
http://cgi.ebay.com/APC-SYMSTRF-PD-Symmetra-UPS-SYMINIF-SYPM-SYBATT-Loaded_W0QQitemZ350154803187QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090118?IMSfp=TL090118118006r4814

Serious inquiries only! This is a huge datacenter UPS. It is NOT 
something that you would hook up in your house or garage. It takes at 
least an 80A 3 phase input with #3 AWG wire.

The unit itself is used but in working order (was working when it was 
disconnected). We also have a literal truckload of SYBATT battery 
modules that are new and still in their shipping boxes.

Some things to keep in mind:

* This thing weighs 598 pounds WITHOUT THE BATTERIES. Whoever comes to 
pick it up better have a truck with a lift-gate, some sturdy furniture 
moving dollies, and 3-4 guys who are prepared for some heavy lifting. I 
will hold the door open but I don't want to deal with moving it :P There 
is a nice tile floor between our storage room and the elevator lobby, as 
well as in the lobby itself, which cannot be damaged from the moving, so 
you will have to bring proper equipment, or hire movers experienced in 
moving heavy objects out of a corporate office building. The unit does 
have wheels but they are small and the unit is so heavy that the wheels 
have developed flat spots so it does not roll very easily. It needs to 
be put on a dolly or furniture moving cart.

* The unit is "as-is". I'm not sure if it is still under warranty. There 
are a couple of missing plastic module covers missing, but they are just 
for looks and do not hamper its operation. I can give you PDFs of the 
installation and users manual, but figuring out how to install and use 
it is up to you.

* I have many more batteries than the unit needs. I prefer you take 
these away as well. You could probably "pre-charge" and store them and 
use them to extend run-time (the battery modules are hot-swappable.

Again, serious inquiries only please. This is a UPS/PDU that is meant to 
be wired to a breaker box and provide backup power for a medium sized 
datacenter. I do not want to give it to someone who wants to 
"experiment" or someone who wants to take it from me just to sell on 
ebay or craigslist. I'm hoping to find someone who can actually put this 
to good and proper use, as I hate to see good equipment wasted.
