10. Dismantling
ATTENTION
The instructions in this chapter are to be considered indicative. Please refer to the laws in
the country where the unit is used.
10.1 DISPOSING OF THE BATTERIES
At the end of their life, the batteries must be disposed of in a place set aside for the collection
of such waste. Since batteries are toxic waste it is not allowed to dispose of them like traditional
waste.
For the correct procedure please contact the relevant Authorities in your area.
10.2 DISMANTLING THE UPS
Once the batteries have been removed all the parts of the UPS ARCHIMOD
®
must be re-
moved.
To remove and dismantle the unit wear the Individual Protective Gear described in chapter 3
and refer to the instructions and charts that you will find in this manual.
Once the various parts have been removed, divide the components into groups, separating
metal from plastic, from copper, etc., according to the selected disposal scheme used in the
country where the unit is being dismantled.
If the parts have to be stored while waiting to go to the dump, keep them in a safe place, pro-
tected from atmospheric agents to prevent any chance of contamination of the ground and
under water tables (especially with lead and the electrolyte of the batteries).
10.3 DISPOSING OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
To dispose of these components, like, for example, the unit’s control panel, refer to the laws
relevant to this sector.
