Trimod® 3. Safety Provisions General notes WARNING Before doing any operation on the equipment, it is necessary to read through the whole manual carefully, paying attention to this chapter in particular. The equipment has been built for the application specified in the declaration of conformity enclosed with this manual. For no reason whatsoever it is allowed to use it for purposes other than those for which it has been designed, nor in ways different to those explained in the manual.
® 3. Safety Provisions 3.3.2 Qualification required to the specialized technician The professional person who has to look after installation, starting and extraordinary maintenance is defined by the term “specialized technician”. With such a definition we mean people with knowledge of the procedures for installing, assembling, repairing and servicing the equipment and who have specific technical qualification.
Trimod® Indications of danger in the work place The following signs must be placed in all points of access to the premises where the equipment is installed. Electric current It indicates the presence of live parts. Emergency interventions Do not use water to extinguish a fire but only the extinguishers designed specifically for putting fires out on electronic equipment.
® 3. Safety Provisions General warnings ATTENTION The equipment generates, uses and can radiate energy and radio frequencies. If not installed and used in agreement with the indications given in this manual, it can interfere with radio communications. - The equipment must be kept and used in accordance with the instructions given herein and as suggested from time to time.
Trimod® Emergency interventions The following information is of a general nature. For specific interventions please consult the laws existing in the country where the equipment is installed. 3.8.1 First aid interventions If any first aid intervention is required, comply with company rules and traditional procedures. 3.8.2 Fire-prevention measures - Do not use water to extinguish fire but only the extinguishers designed specifically for putting fires out on electronic equipment.
If either possible or ascertained damage is found report it immediately to: - the carrier; - the LEGRAND® Technical Assistance Centre Make sure that the unit received corresponds to the material specified on the delivery document. The UPS Trimod® packaging protects the equipment against mechanical and environmental damages.
The charging cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing the ‘ESC’ key. If the UPS is delivered without batteries, LEGRAND® is not liable for any damage or bad operation caused to it by an incorrect wiring of the batteries.
® 4. Unpacking Handling WARNING Handle with great care, lifting it only to the extent necessary, keep it well balanced and avoid swinging which could be dangerous. If it weighs less than 30 kg (check on the transport document) the equipment can be moved around by hand as it has two wheels.
Trimod® Before commencing installation, make sure there is enough lighting on the equipment so that each single detail can be seen easily. Use artificial lighting if natural lighting is not enough for the aforementioned requirements. If maintenance work has to be done on parts that are insufficiently illuminated, it is compulsory to use portable lighting, being careful not to create shadows that will prevent or reduce visibility on the point you are working on or on the surrounding areas.
® 5. Installation WARNING The instructions in this chapter are not addressed to a normal operator but to a specialized technician, authorised to work only if he uses the Individual Protective Gear mentioned in Chapter 3.

Carefully read all instructions before operating on the equipment. The drawers batteries must always be added/replaced in multiples of 4 (1 KB). Note: if the installation/replacement has changed the total number of KB installed in the UPS, you must update the number of KB via the front panel.
Trimod® 10. Dismantling ATTENTION The instructions in this chapter are to be considered indicative. Please refer to the laws in the country where the unit is used. 10.1 Disposing of the batteries At the end of their life, the batteries must be disposed of in a place set aside for the collection of such waste. Since batteries are toxic waste it is not allowed to dispose of them like traditional waste.
® 11. Tables ATTENTION the type and cross section of the connecting cables must be chosen according to their operating current and laying must be as established by existing laws; this is the responsibility of the installer.
