Safety rules

Save these instructions!
This manual contains important instructions for models MegaFlex 1000 to 1600 that should be followed during
installation and maintenance of the UPS and Battery.
General
- Move the UPS in an upright position in its original package to the final destination room.
To lift the cabinets, use a forklift or lifting belts with spreader bars.
- Check for sufficient floor and elevator loading capacity.
- Check the integrity of the UPS equipment carefully.
If you notice visible damage, do not install or start the UPS.
Contact your ABB Service Center immediately.
- WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Do not remove covers, there are no user serviceable parts inside.
- After switching off takes 5 minutes for the DC capacitors to discharge because a lethally high voltage remains
at the terminals of the electrolytic capacitors.
- UPS's and Battery system require a 12 months periodic maintenance to operate reliably and safely.
This should be performed by qualified service personnel. The UPS contains its own energy source (Battery).
- The field-wiring outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the Utility.
- Dangerous voltages may be present during Battery operation.
- The Battery must be disconnected during maintenance or service work.
- This UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages.
- Be aware that the Inverter can restart automatically after the Utility voltage is restored.
- End user must follow applicable regional occupational safety codes/regulations during installation, operation
and equipment maintenance. This may require additional field marking or labelling defining appropriate level
of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) to reduce the risk of Arc-flash related injuries.
Contact our ABB Service Center for product specific information.
Installation
- This UPS must be installed and connected only by trained personnel.
- Verify accurately during Commissioning and Maintenance of the UPS, for the following:
Damaged components, squeezed wires and cables, or not correctly inserted plugs.
- After removing the sidewalls of the UPS, make sure that all earth connections when reassembling, are correctly
reattached.
- This UPS is intended for use in a controlled indoor environment free of conductive contaminants and
protected against animals intrusion.
- WARNING! HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT TO GROUND:
Ground connection is essential before connecting to AC input!
- Switching OFF the Unit does not isolate the UPS from the Utility.
- Do not install the UPS in an excessively humid environment or near water.
- Avoid spilling liquids on or dropping any foreign object into the UPS.
- The Unit must be placed in a sufficiently ventilated area; the ambient temperature should not exceed 104°F
(40°C).
- Optimal Battery life is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 77°F (25°C).
- It is important that air can move freely around and through the Unit. Do not block the air vents.
- Avoid locations in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Storage
- Store the UPS in a dry location; storage temperature must be within -13°F (-25°C) to 131°F (+55°C).
- The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed the range -4°F
(-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
- If the Unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, the Battery must be recharged periodically (time
depending on storage temperature).
Battery
- The Battery-voltage is dangerous for person's safety.
- When replacing the Battery, use the same number, voltage (V) and capacity (Ah).
- Proper disposal or recycling of the Battery is required.
Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
- Never dispose of Battery in a fire: they may explode.
- Do not open or mutilate Battery: their contents (electrolyte) may be extremely toxic.
If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately with plenty of water.
- Avoid charging in a sealed container.
- Never short-circuit the Batteries.
When working with Batteries, remove watches, rings or other metal objects and only use insulated tools.
- In case of air shipment, the cables +/- going to the Battery fuses/terminals shall be disconnected and isolated.
