Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings
will void your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rack-mount
UPS systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, the ambient temperature near the UPS should be between 0°C and
40°C (between 32°F and 104°F).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its
vents or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in a tower orientation, make sure the LED/control panel is
at the top of the UPS, not at the bottom.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this
manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage
not covered under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
CAUTION: Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards ANSI/NFPA 70 and
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• Short-circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection is provided by the building
installation.
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit overcurrent
protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian
Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. Be sure to use maximum 20A overcurrent protection in
accordance with the plug/equipment rating, for the installation.
• The plug on the power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Be sure
the socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is made easily accessible.
• This UPS receives power from more than one source, disconnection of the ac and
dc sources is required to de-energize the unit before servicing.
• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be
live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• When installing your UPS with External Batteries, be sure to connect the ground strap
between the external battery packs to the metal enclosure of the UPS before connecting to
the two-conductor external battery pack cables.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS plug in a
way that would eliminate the UPS connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate
the UPS connection to ground.
• Do not plug the UPS into itself. Doing so will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will
void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.
