IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 WARNING (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS): This manual contains important instructions that
should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. The
equipment can be operated by any individuals with no previous experience.
 WARNING: It is highly recommended to install the product in a controlled environment;
maximum ambient temperature is 40°C.
 CAUTION: Risk of electric shock – Please refer to the details on the cautionary markings at top,
or rear, or bottom of UPS.
 CAUTION: Risk of electric shock – Heat-sinks are live. Disconnect unit before servicing.
 CAUTION (UPS has internal batteries): Risk of electric shock – Hazardous live parts inside this
unit is energized from the battery supply even when the input AC power is disconnected.
 CAUTION (No user serviceable parts): Risk of electric shock – do not remove cover, no user
serviceable parts inside. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
 CAUTION (Non-isolated battery supply): Risk of electric shock – battery circuit is not isolated
from AC input. Hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals and ground. Test
before touching.
 WARNING (Fuses): To reduce risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse.
 CAUTION: Do not disconnect battery connector under load.
 ATTENTION: Hazardous through electrical shock. Also with disconnection of this unit from the
mains, hazardous voltage still may be accessible through supply from the batteries. The
battery supply should therefore be disconnected in the positive and the negative pole when
maintenance or service work inside the battery cabinet or UPS is considered.
 CAUTION (For any pluggable only): With the installation of this equipment it should be
prevented, that the sum of the leakage current of the UPS and connected consumer does not
exceed 3.5 mA.
 CAUTION (For permanent connection only): HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT, Earth connection
essential before connection supply.
 CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries to fire, the battery may explode.
 CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the battery, released electrolyte is harmful to human skin,
eyes, etc.
 CAUTION: A battery can bring risk of electric shock and high short circuit current.
The following precaution should be observed when working on batteries:
A. Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
B. Use only tools with insulated handles.
C. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
D. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
E. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the UPS from the mains supply before installing a
computer interface signal cable. Reconnect the power cord only after signaling
interconnections have been made.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel with knowledge of
batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
 CAUTION: When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries:
One Sealed lead acid battery, rated 12 V, 9 AH max.
 CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire, use only No.26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cable.
 CAUTION: Do not apply for uses in a computer room as defined in the Standard
for the Protection of Electronic Computer \ Data Processing Equipment,
 CAUTION:
This UPS is not applicable for motors, hair dryers, speakers, and fluorescent lamps.
 User's operations:
The only operations that users are permitted to do are:
• Turning the UPS unit on and off.
• Operating the users interface.
• Connecting data interface cables.
• Changing the batteries.
All such operations are to be performed exactly as instructed in this manual. The greatest care
possible must be taken for any of these operations and any change thereof may prove very
hazardous to the operator.
