SAFETY RULES

- Move the UPS in an upright position in its original package to the final destination room.
To lift the cabinets, use a forklift or lifting belts with spreader bars.
- Check for sufficient floor and elevator loading capacity.
- Check the integrity of the UPS equipment carefully.
If you notice visible damage, do not install or start the UPS.
Contact the nearest Service Centre immediately.
- WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
Do not remove covers, there are no user serviceable parts inside.
- After switching off takes 5 minutes for the DC capacitors to discharge because a lethally high voltage
remains at the terminals of the electrolytic capacitors.
- UPS's and battery system require a 12 months periodic maintenance to operate reliably and safely.
This should be performed by qualified service personnel.
The UPS contains its own energy source (battery).
- The field-wiring outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the mains.
- Dangerous voltages may be present during battery operation.
- The battery must be disconnected during maintenance or service work.
- This UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages.
- Be aware that the inverter can restart automatically after the mains voltage is restored.
- End user must follow applicable regional occupational safety codes/regulations during installation,
operation and equipment maintenance. This may require additional field marking or labelling defining
appropriate level of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) to reduce the risk of Arc-flash related injuries.
Contact our Technical Support for product specific information.
- This UPS must be installed and connected only by trained personnel.
- Verify accurately during Commissioning and Maintenance of the UPS, for the following:
Damaged components, squeezed wires and cables, or not correctly inserted plugs.
- After removing the sidewalls of the UPS, make sure that all earth connections when reassembling, are
correctly reattached.
- This UPS is intended for use in a controlled indoor environment free of conductive contaminants and
protected against animals intrusion.
- WARNING! HIGH EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT:
Earth connection is essential before connecting to AC input!
- Switching OFF the unit does not isolate the UPS from the mains.
- Do not install the UPS in an excessively humid environment or near water.
- Avoid spilling liquids on or dropping any foreign object into the UPS.
- The unit must be placed in a sufficiently ventilated area; the ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C
(104°F).
- Optimal battery life is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 25C (77°F).
- It is important that air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the air vents.
- Avoid locations in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
- Store the UPS in a dry location; storage temperature must be within -25°C (-13°F) to +55C (131°F).
- The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F) and shall never exceed the range -
20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F).
- If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, the battery must be recharged periodically (time
depending on storage temperature).
- The battery-voltage is dangerous for person's safety.
- When replacing the battery, use the same number, voltage (V) and capacity (Ah).
- Proper disposal or recycling of the battery is required.
Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
- Never dispose of battery in a fire: they may explode.
- Do not open or mutilate battery: their contents (electrolyte) may be extremely toxic.
If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately with plenty of water.
- Avoid charging in a sealed container.
- Never short-circuit the batteries.
When working with batteries, remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use insulated tools.
