capacity batteries inside and other electronics that can cause electric shock. If the UPS requires 
internal maintenance or battery replacement, contact Power Inspired.

 

In pluggable type B applications the UPS must be switched off and isolated prior to removal of the 
AC mains input plug from the mains supply socket, as detailed on the warning label fitted on the UPS. 

The UPS mains input cable must be connected to an earthed mains supply for operator safety and 
EMC compliance. 

If the UPS emits smoke, turn off immediately the input circuit breaker at the back of the unit and, if 
fitted, the battery circuit breaker, and contact Power Inspired.
