Electrical Safety
WARNING:
Hazardous Voltages are present at the input of power systems. The output from
rectifiers and from batteries may be low in voltage, but can have a very high current capacity that
may cause severe or even fatal injury.
When working with any live battery or power system, follow these precautions:
•
Never work alone on any live power system, someone should always be close enough to come to your aid.
•
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches.
•
Wear complete eye protection (with side shields) and clothing protection.
•
Always wear gloves and use insulated hand tools.
WARNING:
Lethal Voltages are present within the power system. Parts inside the unit may still be
energized even when the unit has been disconnected from the AC input power. Check with a meter
before proceeding. Do not touch any uninsulated parts.
•
A licensed electrician should be used in the installation of any unit.
•
Always disconnect the unit from the supply, batteries and loads before performing maintenance or cleaning.
•
If the unit is hot-swappable, simply remove it from the shelf for any maintenance or cleaning.
•
Always assume that an electrical connection is live and check the connection relative to ground.
•
Be sure that neither liquids nor any wet material come in contact with any internal components.

Battery Safety
WARNING:
Follow all of the battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working with or

battery. Some batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.
•
To reduce risk of arc, connect and disconnect the battery only when the unit is off.
•
If it is necessary to remove the battery connections, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery
first.
•
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches.
•
Always wear rubber gloves, safety glasses, and a rubber lined vest/apron when working near a battery.
•
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case the battery electrolyte contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
•
If the battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
•
If the electrolyte enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least ten (10)
minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
•
Do not drop metal on a battery. A spark or short-circuit could occur and could cause an explosion.
