IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Save These Instructions This manual contains important instructions to be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please read all instructions before installing or operating the described equipment and PLEASE SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE! SPECIAL SYMBOLS: The following are examples of symbols used on the UPS, or within this manual to alert you to important information.
Page 5
Do Not Discard—Never discard Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in the trash. For proper disposal contact your local recycling/refuse or hazardous waste center. Information of Special Note—Specific handling or operational instructions may apply. Phase—This is the electrical symbol for the word “phase”.

NOTE TO USERS To ensure correct operation of the UPS, please read this instruction manual carefully. Please keep this manual handy for future reference. This UPS has dangerously high voltages on both its Input and output connections. Contact with these voltages may be life threatening.
Page 7
6. To prevent damage or a safety hazard, keep the UPS away from open flame and any other devices that may cause sparks. 7. Do not open or damage individual battery cases as spillage of caustic electrolyte may occur resulting in danger to life, safety, and the environment.
1.0 INSTALLATION This chapter deals with the installation of the UPS, including unpacking and checking for shipping damage, installation environment, installation tools, selection of input & output conductors, installation procedure, installation preparations, mechanical installation, battery cabinet installation, etc. Before installing, please become familiar with the safety standards in the installation illustration.
Page 10
CAUTION To avoid electric shock, the use of insulated tools is suggested. Installation Clearance The recommended UPS installation clearance should meet the following requirements: • Maintain a clearance of at least 3’ from the front panel to the wall or adjacent equipment, and at last 3’ from the top of the UPS to the ceiling, this will ensure good ventilation, as shown in Figure1-1.
Page 11
• To prevent internal UPS temperature rise, and thereby possibly shortening the effective life of the UPS, keep the air inlets at the front panel and rear panel of the UPS unobstructed. Selection of Input and Output Conductors For the sizing of input/output & battery cabinet connection conductors, please refer to Table1-1 and Table1-2.
Page 12
Installation Step 1 Determine the UPS location in accordance with all installation recommendations (see 3.4 Installation Clearance) and UPS size (see A Technical Specifications). Step 2 Refer to the bottom layout (as shown in Figure3-2), install four M12 expansion bolts (concrete floor only) into the floor. Figure 1-2 Bottom structure (bottom view) Note: The exposed height of expansion bolt should be within 50mm.

3.0 OPERATION This section deals with the operation of the UPS, including pre-startup checklist, precautions for operating UPS, operation and running, operation of parallel system, etc. Check Before Startup 3.1.1 Check Electrical Connections Check Item Confirm that the total load capacity matches the capacity of the UPS and make sure the load is off.
Page 51
3.1.2 UPS Testing Test UPS: close the main input supply switch and start the UPS. Once the UPS is operating normally and stay in inverter mode, check to ensure the DC polarity and battery voltage is correct. If DC voltage and polarity are correct, close the battery breaker.
Page 52
3.1.4 Start Load Step 1 Confirm the running status of UPS according to the indicator light on panel. When lights indicate that UPS is operational in normal mode or battery mode, the UPS can now supply output power for loads. Step 2 Once the UPS has been operational without load for 10min, turn on loads in sequence: larger load to smaller load.
4.0 MAINTENANCE GUIDE This chapter discusses the user maintenance responsibilities of the UPS, including safety precautions, periodic preventative maintenance, battery maintenance, and fan maintenance.
