Safety Instructions
Safety of persons
•
The system has its own power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be ener-gized
even if the systems is disconnected from the AC power source. Dangerous voltage levels are present
within the system. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.
•
The system must be properly grounded at all times.
•
The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the
directives listed below must be observed:
- Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries
and the required precautions.
- When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
- Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.The batteries may explode.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high.
•
Precautions must be taken for all handling:
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
- Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
- Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of
such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance
(applicable to equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded supply circuit).
Product Safety
•
To connect the UPS, instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated

maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (US installations only).
•
Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC powered system and to the actual

easily accessible
•
Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
•
Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the system.
•
Never block the ventilation grates of the system.
•
Never expose the system to direct sunlight or source of heat.
•
If the system must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
•
The admissible storage temperature range is -25ºC to +55ºC without batteries, 0°C to 40°C with
batteries.
•
