Important Safety Instructions
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This may damage the UPS and may affect the surge
protector and UPS warranties.
• The total load connected to the UPS must not exceed the maximum nameplate load rating.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the
life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment within oxygen-
enriched atmospheres, or within 0.3 m (1 ft.) of a point at which an oxygen-enriched atmosphere is intentionally vented.
Fan Replacement Warning
Make sure UPS is powered down, i.e. turned off prior to fan replacement. Failure to do so may cause overheating and
trigger thermal shutdown.
CAUTION: The fan circuitry is not isolated from AC mains. Turn off power to the UPS prior to fan replacement. Fan
replacement must be performed by qualified electrical service personnel.
Battery Warnings
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS.
• Battery rotation must be performed by qualified electrical service personnel.
• Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel.
• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
• When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can
result in electrical shock. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
• Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.
• Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce likelihood of shock.
• Remove the connection from ground if any part of the battery is determined to be grounded.
External Battery Warnings
• Connect external battery ground wire before connecting external battery to UPS.
• For external battery configuration, see the Operations section for options and configuration method. Smart battery packs are
automatically detected by the UPS.
