NOTE If you have an optional Floor Saver battery cabinet, see the Floor Saver
instructions that came with your FERRUPS UPS.
Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the
electrical installation. Risk of electrical shock.
Full voltage and current are always present at the battery terminals. The batteries
used in this system can produce dangerous voltages, extremely high currents and a
risk of electric shock. They may cause severe injury if the terminals are shorted
together or to ground (earth). You must be extremely careful to avoid electric shock
and burns caused by contacting battery terminals or shorting terminals during battery
installation. Do not touch uninsulated battery terminals.
Any battery used with this UPS shall comply with the applicable requirements for
batteries in the standard for emergency lighting and power equipment, UL 924.
Cabinets are designed to be used with, and batteries must be replaced with,
Powerware battery number BAT-XXXX or equivalent.
The electrician must take these precautions:
:
Wear protective clothing and eye wear. For 120V battery systems, wear rubber
gloves and boots. Batteries contain caustic acids and toxic materials and can
rupture or leak if mistreated. Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal
objects and jewelry. Don't carry metal objects in your pockets where the objects
can fall into the battery cabinet.
:
Tools must have insulated handles and must be insulated so that they will not
short battery terminals. Do not allow a tool to short a battery terminal to another
battery terminal or to the cabinet at any time. Do not lay tools or metal parts on
top of the batteries, and do not lay them where they could fall onto the batteries or
into the cabinet.
:
Install the batteries as shown on the drawing provided with the batteries. When
connecting cables, never allow a cable to short across a battery's terminals, the
string of batteries, or to the cabinet.
