7. UPS maintenance 7.1 Equipment care For the best preven ve maintenance, keep the area around the equipment clean and dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner. For full ba ery life, keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
7.4 Replacing ba eries DO NOT DISCONNECT the ba eries while the UPS is in Ba ery mode. Consider all warnings, cau ons, and notes before replacing ba eries. Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel with ⚫ knowledgeable of ba eries and required precau ons. Keep unauthorized personnel away from ba eries.
For RT module, if PDU is connected with the UPS, should turn the MBS to bypass and switch off the input and then replace the EBM(s). If PDU is not connected with the UPS, should turn off the UPS and then replace the EBM. To replace the EBM(s): 1.
8. Troubleshoo ng The UPS is designed for durable, automa c opera on and also alert you whenever poten al opera ng problems may occur. Usually the alarms shown by the control panel do not mean that the output power is affected. Instead, they are preven ve alarms intended to alert the user.
