CAUTIONARY NOTES
Please be aware of the following risks when handling and operating CertaUPS units.
RISK TYPE
DETAILS
Electric shock
Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains power supply (building outlet
socket), components inside the UPS are still energised which are potentially
dangerous. The battery in the UPS will always be live.
The battery circuit is not isolated from the input voltage. Hazardous voltages may
occur between the battery terminals and the ground. Verify that no voltage is present
before servicing.
Hazardous voltages
Repairs must be carried out only by qualified UPS Engineer.
Replacement of batteries must only be completed by an electrically competent
person.
OPERATING SAFETY
Before operating any UPS system, please read the following guidance:
DO NOT
install the UPS in a humid environment or expose to liquids
DO NOT
block the ventilation of the UPS
DO NOT
expose the UPS to direct sunlight or source of heat
DO NOT
exceed recommended ambient temperatures when operating or storing the UPS
DO NOT
allow excessive particulates or foreign bodies to enter the UPS
DO NOT
plug the UPS input into its own output
DO
follow all connection procedures and operational instructions in the order in which they appear within this
manual
DO
check that the indicators on the rating plate correspond to the AC powered system and to the actual
electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS
DO
ensure the outlet is installed near the UPS and is easily accessible
DO
store the UPS in a dry environment
DO
keep the UPS in a well-ventilated area
Additional considerations:
•
The UPS output is supplied by two sources. When the UPS is disconnected from mains power hazardous
voltage may still be present from the internal battery. The battery should be disconnected when
maintenance or service work inside the UPS is necessary.
•
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by qualified and competent personnel only.
•
When replacing the batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.
•
Dispose of batteries in the correct manner and in line with local laws and regulations. Never dispose of
batteries in a fire. Do not attempt to open the battery. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes.
A battery can present a risk of electric shock and short circuit.
•
Unplug the UPS prior to cleaning and do not use liquid or spray detergent.
•
This is a category C2 UPS product. In a residential environment, this product may cause radio interference,
in which case the user may be required to take additional measures.
