Safety Warnings
• Installation or servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel knowledgeable of UPS and
battery systems, and required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from equipment. Consider
all warnings, cautions, and notes before installing or servicing equipment. DO NOT DISCONNECT the
batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.
• Batteries may only be replaced with the same number and type by authorized service personnel. No user
serviceable parts.
• The UPS system has been evaluated for use with a maximum of four 93PM EBCs. Use of any other
configuration may result in fire, death, and voiding of the warranty.
• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is, remove the source of the ground. Contacting any
part of a grounded battery can cause a risk of electric shock. An electric shock is less likely if you
disconnect the grounding connection before you work on the batteries.
• Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.
• Keep the Accessory cabinet doors closed and front panels installed to ensure proper cooling airflow and to
protect personnel from dangerous voltages inside the unit.
• Do not install or operate the UPS system close to gas or electric heat sources.
• Lead-acid batteries can present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. Do not smoke when
near batteries. Do not cause flame or spark in battery area. Discharge static electricity from body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.
• The operating environment should be maintained within the parameters stated in this manual.
• Operating temperatures above the recommended range will result in decreased battery life and
performance, and will reduce or void the battery warranty. Refer to Terms and Conditions of Sale with
Battery Replacement Coverage and the Battery Replacement Price Book for more information. These
documents can be found at
information on how to obtain copies.
• The shelf life for the batteries installed in the IBC is 12 months from the date code on the battery. The
recharge date is also stated on a label inside the IBC.
Failure to recharge the batteries before the expiration of the shelf life will result in reduced discharge time,
shorter float service life, and will void the warranty.
• Keep surroundings uncluttered, clean, and free from excess moisture.
• Observe all DANGER, CAUTION, and WARNING notices affixed to the inside and outside of the
equipment.
• Les batteries peuvent présenter un risque de décharge électrique ou de brûlure par des courts–circuits de
haute intensité. Prendre les précautions nécessaires.
• Pour le replacement, utiliser le même nombre et modéle des batteries.
