Safety
3 Chloride Linear Plus Series Rack-mount UPS User Instruction Manual
Emergency
WARNING: The supply to the load may be interrupted by opening all the switches.
WARNING: DO NOT USE WATER to extinguish any fires that may occur in the area in which the UPS
is installed.
Leakage Currents
WARNING: Connect the earth ground [protection earth (PE)] safety conductor before any other cables
are connected.
Radio Interference
Linear Plus Rack-mount is a class A product.
The UPS device may cause radio interference. Do not place it near devices which are especially
susceptible to electromagnetical interference (e.g. transmitters/receivers, radar, metal detectors, anti-theft
devices).
Batteries
Battery maintenance must be carried out by authorized personnel.
• The batteries installed in external battery cabinets may contain electrolyte. Under normal conditions
the containers are dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte which can be dangerous in contact with
the skin and cause irritation to the eyes. Should this happen wash the affected part with copious
amounts of water and seek immediate medical advice.
• Voltage is always present on the battery contacts.
• Even when discharged a battery has the capacity to supply a high short circuit current, which, in
addition to causing damage to the battery itself and to associated cables, may expose the operator to
the risk of burns.
• The voltage of a single cell of a single battery block is not dangerous. However a number of cells or
battery blocks, connected in series, can produce hazardous voltages.
• The battery is a “hermetic” type battery and must not be kept in storage or disuse for periods
exceeding 6 months at 68
°
F
(
20°C) without being recharged (having been charged to 100% at the
beginning of any such period). If this period is exceeded it is essential that the batteries be recharged,
which requires that the UPS be switched on. If these conditions are not respected the performance of
the battery can no longer be guaranteed. We advise recharging the batteries at least once every 4
months.
• Since new batteries often do not provide full capacity after an initial charge it may be necessary to
carry out a number of discharge/recharge cycles before optimum performance is achieved.
• In order to protect the environment batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations
governing disposal of toxic and harmful waste.
Repackaging
To re-pack, proceed as follows:
1. Do not pack the equipment until at least six hours have elapsed since the last recharge.
2. Place the equipment in bags made of a material sufficiently porous to allow it to breathe (e.g. 100
μ
m
polyethylene).
3. Do not remove air from the packaging.
