8. MAINTENANCE
8.1 Cleaning
1. Do not use scouring powder or plastic dissolving solutions to clean
the UPS.
2. Do not allow liquid to get inside the UPS.
3. Make sure that the air vents on the UPS are not obstructed. Re-
move dust from the air vents with a vacuum cleaner.
4. Clean the outside of the UPS housing by wiping with a dry or
slightly damp cloth.
8.2 UPS Storage
1. For extended storage at ambient temperatures < 77°F (25°C), the
batteries should be charged for five hours once every four
months. At higher storage temperatures it is advised that this
period be reduced to two months.
2. To charge the batteries, connect the UPS to an appropriate power
source and allow the batteries to charge for about five hours.
After charging, note the date recharging was performed on the
UPS packaging.
8.3 Battery Testing
1. The UPS does not require maintenance by the user; however, the
battery should be checked periodically.
8.4 Replacing Batteries
The UPS does not require maintenance by the user, however, battery
maintenance is recommended in accordance with IEEE Recommended
Practice for Maintenance, Testing and Replacement of Valve-Regulated
Lead-Acid (VRLA) Batteries for Stationary Applications (IEEE Std 1188-
1996). When the batteries expire, trained battery service personnel must
replace them. A certified disposal/recycling company should carry
out disposal/recycling of the UPS and/or batteries. Exhausted
rechargeable batteries are classified as "harmful toxic waste" and
as such the law de- mands that they be disposed of/recycled by an
authorized recycling center.
