Important Safety Instructions
UPS Location Warnings
• Your UPS is intended to be used in a temperature-regulated, indoor area that is relatively free of conductive contaminants. Install your
UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• Ambient room temperature should be between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• The UPS provides the convenience of multiple outlets, but DOES NOT provide surge or line noise protection for connected equipment,
when in Bypass Mode.
• Do not mount the unit with its front or rear panel blocked. Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling,
eventually causing product damage not covered under warranty.
UPS Installation and Connection Warnings
All Models
CAUTION: Installation should be performed by qualified professional electrical service personnel only.
• Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards. Be sure to use the proper overcurrent protection for the installation in
accordance with the plug/equipment rating.
• Be sure to use an upstream circuit breaker with a C curve.
• Overcurrent protection shall be provided in the end-use application, installed in accordance with local and national electrical wiring
regulations.
• Short-circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection is provided by the building Installation, in the hardwire configuration (Bypass
and Economy Modes).
• Install at a height not exceeding 1 m (3.3 ft.).
• Equipment is intended for use on a TN-S power distribution system.
Select Models Come Equipped with an L6-30P Plug
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 30A maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• The AC mains L6-30P plug serves as the disconnect device. The electrical outlets supplying power to the equipment must be installed
near the equipment and easily accessible. Alternatively, a local disconnect may be provided.
• DO NOT use the hardwire AC supply input option when an L6-30P plug is present. Doing so may cause a catastrophic dangerous situation.
• When the hardwire AC output is used, appropriate output overcurrent protection must be provided.
Select Hardwire Models
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. See "UPS Input
and Output Overview" table in the Installation section for details.
• Use copper conductors with rated 105°C wires only. See "UPS Input and Output Overview" table in the Installation section for
recommended input and output configuration.
• For models equipped with a permanent hardwire output connection, overcurrent protection is to be provided in the end use installation.
Use output branch-rated overcurrent protection not exceeding the UPS Output rating. When supplying receptacles with lesser branch-
rated overcurrent protection, the overcurrent protection should match the receptacle rating.
• In Europe, the circuit breaker must meet the IEC/ EN 60934 standard and have a contact air gap of at least 3 mm.
• When the hardwire AC output is used, appropriate OUTPUT OVERCURRENT protection must be provided by the installer. Be sure to use
branch-rated circuit breakers that match the rating of the receptacles/equipment being protected. Use circuit breaker(s) with a C curve.
• An appropriate and readily accessible two-pole disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• In Europe, the AC mains connection is L, N, PE(GND). Make sure to hook up the L to the hot and N to the neutral conductor.
• Never attempt to install electrical equipment during a thunderstorm.
• Do not attempt to use this equipment if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Individual equipment connected to the UPS should not draw more current than the individual outlet's rating.
• The total load connected to the UPS must not exceed the maximum load rating for the UPS.
• Do not attempt to modify the UPS, enclosure, input plugs or power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the UPS if any part of it becomes damaged.
