5. Relocation and Transportation Precautions
Be careful to avoid falling or dropping the UPS during relocation or transportation, as
•
bodily injury could result.
Be careful to avoid back strain when handling the UPS.
•
To avoid bodily injury caused by dropping the UPS, do not tilt it more than specified
•
degrees to either side when moving it. Take preventative measures to avoid dropping the
UPS if it must be tilted more than specified degrees when moving it.

6. Battery Handling Precautions
•
Battery servicing should be performed or supervised by technically qualified personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions. Keep unqualified personnel away from
batteries.
•
Nominal battery voltage is 36 volts DC.
•
Replace batteries only with the same model and brand: HF7-12 manufactured by Shin-Kobe Electric
Machinery Co., Ltd.
•
Customers should not dispose of used batteries themselves. Contact your nearest sales
representative, authorized service center or sales office to dispose of used batteries.
•
Do not use batteries after their service life has expired. Doing so may result in fuming or fire.
Additionally, the battery backup function may fail to operate with such batteries, so that power will
not supplied to the load when a power outage occurs.
•
Batteries pose hazards for electrical shock and dangerous short-circuit current. The following
precautions should be observed when working with batteries:
a.
Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.
b.
Use insulated tools.
c.
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d.
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e.
Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
f.
Determine whether the batteries have been inadvertently grounded, and if so, remove the source
of grounding. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock.
•
Do not attempt to open or disassemble batteries. The electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. The
battery contains diluted sulfuric acid, which is extremely toxic. If a battery leaks, take appropriate
measures to prevent any battery fluid contacting your skin or clothing. Diluted sulfuric acid may
cause blindness if it gets into the eye, may burn skin upon contact. It is electrically conductive and
corrosive. Observe the following procedures if electrolyte spills:
a.
Wear full eye protection and protective clothing.
b.
If sulfuric acid contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water.
c.
If sulfuric acid contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water, and seek
medical attention.
d.
Spilled sulfuric acid should be washed down with a suitable acid-neutralizing agent, such as a
solution of approximately one pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda in one gallon (4 liters) of
water. The bicarbonate of soda solution should be applied until evidence of reaction (foaming)
has ceased. The resulting liquid should be flushed with water and the area dried.
•
Lead acid batteries can present a risk of fire due to generation of hydrogen gas. The following
procedures should always be followed:
a.
DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries.
b.
DO NOT allow flames or sparks near batteries.
c.
Before working with batteries, discharge static electricity from the body by first touching a
grounded metal surface before touching the batteries.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in fire, as they could explode.
•
If a fire occurs near a battery, do not use water to extinguish it. Use only a powder-distinguishing
agent (ABC). Using water can cause the fire to spread.
•
Strictly observe the following precautions when handling the batteries. Failure to do so may cause
battery leakage, overheating or explosion.
a.
Do not solder to any part of the battery directly.
b.
Do not charge the battery with reversed positive (+) and negative (-) terminal polarity.
c.
Do not mix different battery types, brands or versions.
d.
Do not attempt to peel off or break the outer covering of a battery.
e.
Do not subject batteries to strong physical shock, or throw them away.
f.
Clean batteries with water-moistened cloth. Do not use organic compounds such as gasoline,
thinner, benzene or detergent.
g.
Electrical energy may remain in a battery even after its service life has expired.
Do not allow sparks near used batteries, and protect them from short-circuiting.
