Safety of Persons
•
The system has its own power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized
even if the systems is disconnected from the AC power source.
•
Dangerous voltage levels are present within the system. It should be opened exclusively by qualified
service personnel.
•
The system must be properly grounded.
•
The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials.
To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must be observed:
- servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about betteries
and the required precautions.
- when replacing batteries, replace with the same type of battery module.
- do not dispose of the battery module in a fire. The battery module may explode.
- the battery module constitutes a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very
high.
Precautions must be taken for all handling:
•
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
•
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery module.
•
Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
•
Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground.
Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock
can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to
equipment not having a grounded supply circuit).
Product Safety
•
The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in
the indicated order.
•
A protection circuit breaker must be installed upstream and be easily accessible.
The system can be disconnected from the AC power source by opening this circuit breaker.
•
Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC powered system and to
the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the system.
•
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible.
•
Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
•
Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
•
Never block the ventilation grates of the system.
•
Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat.
•
If the system must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
•
The admissible storage temperature and humidity range:
•
The system is not for use in a computer room AS DEFINED IN the standard for the Protection
of Information Technology Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75 (US installations only).
Contact Eaton resellers to order a special battery kit, if needed to meet the ANSI/NFPA 75 requirement.
Special Precautions
•
All handling operations will require at least two people (unpacking, installation in rack system).
•
Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the UPS must be
energized for a period of 24 hours, at least once every 3 months (recommended storage temperature
is 77°F (25 °C)). This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible damage.
•
During the replacement of the battery module, it is imperative to use the same type and number of
elements as the original battery module provided with the UPS to maintain an identical level of
performance and safety. In case of doubt, don't hesitate to contact your Eaton representative.
