Important safety instruction - Read before installing product
Personal safety
►
The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energised even if the UPS is
disconnected from the AC-power source.
►
Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.
►
The UPS must be properly earthed. Measurements are required to ensure that the total leakage current of the UPS and the
protected equipment does not exceed 3.5mA by checking their characteristics.
►
The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must
be 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
handing: remove watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects, use tools with insulated handles.
Product safety
►
The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
►
UPS must be connected to a nearby wall outlet that is easily accessible. The UPS can be disconnected from the AC-power source
by removing the power cord.
►
Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual electrical consumption of all
the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
►
Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment
►
Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the UPS.
►
Never block the ventilation grates of the UPS.
►
Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or source of heat.
►
If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
►
The admissible storage temperature range is –10°C to +40°C.
Special precautions
►
Once installed and connected to the AC power source for the first time, the battery will start to charge. Full charging to obtain the
rated battery backup time requires at least 8 hours.
►
Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energised for a long period, the UPS must be energised for a period of 24
hours, at 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 previously mounted in
the UPS, in order to maintain an identical level of performance and safety. In case of doubt, don’t hesitate to contact our after sales
department (for more information, refer to the web site http://powerquality.eaton.com/australia).
