1. Safety and Storage Instructions

1.1 Safety

1. Do not open the case as there are no serviceable parts inside. Opening the
case will void your warranty and introduces the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not try to repair the unit yourself. Doing so will void your warranty. Contact
your local supplier for repairs.
3. If liquids are spilt onto the UPS or foreign objects dropped into the unit the
UPS could be damaged, users could be subject to electric stock, and the
warranty will become null and void.
4. Do not install the UPS in an environment with sparks, smoke, or hazardous
gas.
5. This UPS is equipped with an EMI filter. To prevent potential leakage current
hazards ensure that the AC mains supply is securely grounded.
6. This UPS is designed to be installed and commissioned in a sheltered,
controlled environment as follows:
- Operating temperature 0-40° C and 0-90% relative humidity. High ambient
temperature reduces battery life.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Do not install the UPS in an inflammable or otherwise hazardous
environment.
- Avoid vibration and areas subject to physical impact.
- Avoid any area with sparks.
- Dusty, corrosive, and salty environments can damage any UPS.
- Install the UPS indoors as it is not designed for installation outdoors.
7. To prevent overheating of the UPS keep all ventilation openings free from
obstruction, and do not place anything on top of the UPS. Keep the UPS rear
panel 20 cm away from the wall or other obstructions.
8. Install the UPS in a ventilated area, ideally exchanging 5 m
because the chemical reaction during battery charging causes trace gas
production. If the batteries suffer breakage electrical arcing could occur in the
UPS interior.
9. If the product emits a strange noise or smell please immediately stop using
the product and contact your dealer for maintenance.
10. Always switch off the UPS and disconnect the batteries when relocating the
UPS. Be aware that, even when disconnected, charged batteries present a
possible electric shock hazard.
11. The UPS should be recharged every 2-3 months if unused. If this is not done
then the warranty will be null and void. When installed and being used the
batteries will be automatically recharged and kept in top condition.
12 Make sure that the AC utility outlet is correctly grounded.

13. Ensure that the input voltage of the UPS matches the utility supply voltage.
Use a certified input power cable with the correct plugs and sockets for the
system voltage.

1.2 Storage

If the UPS is unused for an extended period of time it must be stored in a
moderate climate. The batteries should be charged for 12 hours every three
months by connecting the UPS to the utility supply and switching on the input
breaker located on the UPS rear panel. Repeat this procedure every two months if
the storage ambient temperature is above 25°C.
