If the product emits a strange noise or smell, immediately stop using the product and contact Falcon Electric for service or repair. Always switch off the UPS and disconnect the batteries when relocating the UPS. Be aware that, even when disconnected, charged batteries present a risk of electric shock.
11. Ensure that the input voltage to the UPS is within the specified range. Use a certified input power cable with the correct plugs and sockets for the system voltage. 12. CAUTION: Risk of Energy Hazard, 12V, 9 Ampere-hour batteries. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches and rings.
Product Introduction 2.1 General Characteristics 1. True On-Line technology continuously supplies your critical device with stable, regulated, transient-free, pure sine wave AC power. High-efficiency PWM sine-wave topology yields excellent overall performance. 3. The high crest factor of the inverter can handle high inrush current loads without the need to upgrade the power rating.
2.2 Special Features 1. Our High Frequency Transformer-less technology and tower-convertible form factor enables the UPS to be integrated into environments with space constraints. 2. This UPS is equipped with fully digital control logic for greater functionality and enhanced power protection. Digital signal processing (DSP) also provides the UPS with powerful communication capability, which simplifies remote control and monitoring.
