Important Safety Instructions
Select Hardwire Models
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. See "UPS Input and
Output Overview" table in the Installation section for details.
• Use copper conductors with rated 105°C wires only. See "UPS Input and Output Overview" table in the Installation section for
recommended input and output configuration.
• For models equipped with a permanent hardwire output connection, overcurrent protection is to be provided in the end use installation.
Use output branch-rated overcurrent protection not exceeding the UPS Output rating. When supplying receptacles with lesser branch-
rated overcurrent protection, the overcurrent protection should match the receptacle rating.
• In Europe, the circuit breaker must meet the IEC/ EN 60934 standard and have a contact air gap of at least 3 mm.
• When the hardwire AC output is used, appropriate OUTPUT OVERCURRENT protection must be provided by the installer. Be sure to use
branch rated circuit breakers that match the rating of the receptacles/equipment being protected. Use circuit breaker(s) with a C curve.
• An appropriate and readily accessible two-pole disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• In Europe, the AC mains connection is L, N, PE(GND). Make sure to hook up the L to the hot and N to the neutral conductor.
• Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
• Do not attempt to use this equipment if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Individual equipment connected to the UPS/PDM should not draw more current than the PDM outlet's rating.
• The total load connected to the UPS/PDM must not exceed the maximum load rating for the UPS/PDM.
• Do not attempt to modify the UPS/PDM, enclosure, input plugs or power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the UPS/PDM if any part of it becomes damaged.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This may damage the UPS and may affect the surge
protector and UPS warranties.
• The total load connected to the UPS must not exceed the maximum nameplate load rating.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the
life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment within oxygen-
enriched atmospheres, or within 0.3 m (1 ft.) of a point at which an oxygen-enriched atmosphere is intentionally vented
Fan Replacement Warning
Make sure UPS is powered down, i.e. turned off prior to fan replacement. Failure to do so may cause overheating and
trigger thermal shutdown
CAUTION: The fan circuitry is not isolated from AC mains. Turn off power to the UPS prior to fan replacement. Fan
replacement must be performed by qualified electrical service personnel.
Battery Warnings
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS.
• Battery rotation must be performed by qualified electrical service personnel.
• Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel.
• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
• When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
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. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
