Important Safety Instructions - Eaton 5000 RT Installation And User Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and
maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
The MX models that are covered in this manual are intended for installation in an environment within 0° to 40°C, free of
conductive contaminant.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

Safety of Persons
The system has its own power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the systems is discon-
w
nected from the AC power source.
Dangerous voltage levels are present within the system. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.
w
The system must be properly grounded.
w
The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must be
w
observed:
- Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).
- Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).
- Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high. Precautions must be taken for all handling:
remove watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects, use tools with insulated handles.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
Product Safety
The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
w
A protection circuit breaker must be installed upstream and be easily accessible. The system can be disconnected from the AC power
w
source by opening this circuit breaker.
Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC powered system and to the actual electrical consumption of all the
w
equipment to be connected to the system.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
w
Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
w
Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
w
Never block the ventilation grates of the system.
w
Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat.
w
If the system must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
w
The admissible storage temperature range is -20ºC to +40ºC.
w
Special Precautions
All handling operations will require at least two people (unpacking, installation in rack system).
w
Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the UPS must be energized for a period of 24 hours, at
w
least once every 6 months (for a normal storage temperature less than 25°C). This charges the battery, thus avoiding possible irreversible
damage.
During the replacement of the Battery Module, it is imperative to use the same type and number of element as the original Battery Module
w
provided with the UPS to maintain an identical level of performance and safety. In case of doubt, don't hesitate to contact your EATON
representative.
Environment
This product has been designed to respect the environment:
w
It does not contain any Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) or Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC).
UPS recycling at the end of service life:
w
EATON undertakes to recycle, by certified companies and in compliance with all applicable regulations, all UPS products
recovered at the end of their service life (contact your EATON branch office).
Packing: UPS packing materials must be recycled in compliance with all applicable regulations.
w
WARNING: This product contains lead-acid batteries. Lead is a dangerous substance for the environment if it is not
properly recycled by specialized companies.
