UPSs are electronic equipments, so they will be treated as
they are:
Avoid shocks.
Avoid jolting or bouncing of the UPS, like those produced
by moving the equipment on a hand truck and move on
an uneven or wavy surface.
Ŗ
UPS transport will be done packaged inside its original pack-
aging in order to prevent it from shock and impact and by
means of the suitable type of packaging (carton box, pallet
packaging, ...) and appropriate to its weight.
Ŗ
Although the physical location of the elements can differ from
the illustrations in this manual in some cases, the correct la-
belling correct the possible doubts and makes easy its com-
prehension.
1.2.3.3. Safety warning regarding batteries.
Ŗ
The manipulation and connection of the batteries
shall be done and supervised by
personnel with
battery knowledge only
.
Before doing any action, disconnect the batteries. Check that
no current is present and there is not dangerous voltage in
the DC BUS (capacitors) or in the endpoint of the battery set
terminals.
Battery circuit is not isolated from input voltage. Dangerous
voltages can be found between the terminals of the battery
set and the earth. Check that there is not any voltage at the
input before take any action over them.
Ŗ
When faulty batteries are replaced, the complete battery set
has to be replaced, less exceptional cases in new equip-
ments, were due to manufacturing faults it will only be re-
placed the defective ones.
The replacement will be done by another one of the same
type, voltage, capacity, quantity and brand. All of them has to
be of the same brand.
Ŗ
Generally, the used batteries are sealed lead acid of 12V and
maintenance free (VRLA).
Ŗ
Do not reuse the faulty batteries. There could be an explo-
sion or burst any battery with the involved problems and is-
sues that could happen.
Ŗ
Generally supplied batteries are installed in the same cab-
inet, case or rack of the equipment. Depending on the power,
autonomy or both, they can be supplied separately from the
equipment in another cabinet, case or rack, with the interlink
cables among them. Do not modify its length.
Ŗ
In those equipments requested without batteries, their ac-
quisition, installation and connection of themselves will be
done by the end-user and
under his responsibility
. Data
concerning the batteries as regards to quantity, capacity and
voltage, are stated in this battery label sticked beside the
nameplate of the equipment.
Respect these data
, battery
connection polarity and the supplied circuit diagram
strictly
.
For an optimum and efficient operating, the battery set has to
be located as close as possible to the equipment.
Ŗ
The battery voltage can involve the risk of electric
shock and can produce high short circuit currents.
Observe the following preventive measures before manipu-
lating any terminal block identified in the labelling as «Bat-
teries»:
Disconnect the corresponding protection elements.
When connecting a battery cabinet to the equipment,
respect the cable’s polarity and colour (red-positive;
black-negative) indicated in the manual and in the cor-
responding labelling.
Wear rubber gloves and shoes.
Use tools with insulated handles.
Take off watches, rings or other metal objects.
Do not place metal tools or objects over the batteries.
Never manipulate with your hands or through conducting
objects, do not short either the battery terminal block of
the equipment or the own from the batteries.
Ŗ
In order to avoid a complete discharge of the batteries and
as a safety measure after a long blackout of the commercial
mains and when ending the working day, proceed to the load
shutdown and then to the equipment too, by following the op-
erating described in this «User's manual».
Ŗ
When the equipment and/or battery module has a protec-
tion through a fuse and it were needed to be replaced, it will
always be done by another one with the same dimension,
type and size.
Ŗ
For long periods of disconnection, consider that the equip-
ment has to be connected once a month for 10 hours as
minimum, in order to charge the batteries, so the irreversible
degradation of itself is avoided. On the other hand, in case of
storing an equipment, it will be done in a fresh and dry place,
never outdoors
.
Ŗ
Never short the battery terminals as it involves a high risk. It
involves the detriment of the equipment and batteries.
Ŗ
Avoid mechanical efforts and impacts.
Ŗ
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Spilled electrolyte is
harmful and toxic to the skin and eyes.
Ŗ
Do not dispose the batteries in a fire and high temperatures.
The batteries may explode.
Ŗ
In case of contact of the acid with parts of the body, wash
immediately with plenty water and call urgently the nearest
medical service.
Ŗ
Batteries involve a serious risk for the health and for the en-
vironment. Their disposal should be done according to the
existing laws.
