SAFETY STANDARDS
Q SECTION 1

1 SAFETY STANDARDS
This manual must be kept in the vicinity of the UPS, so that the operator may consult it at any time for
clarifications on the correct use of the UPS.
Read the manual carefully before connecting the unit to the general mains power supply and to the devices to be
powered.
Before putting the UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) into operation, the operator must be fully aware of the
functions and positions of all the controls and of the technical and functional characteristics of the system, in
order to avoid risks to persons and to the equipment.
•
Before starting, the unit must be provided with an equipotential connection as established by the safety standards in
force. The earth cable of the UPS is to be connected to an efficient earthing point.
•
If the earth connection is not made, all devices connected to the UPS will be without equipotential connection. In this
case the manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage or accidents caused by non-observance of the said
standard.
•
In case of mains failure (battery mode), do not disconnect the input cable from mains so to ensure the earth
connection to the loads supplied.
•
All subsequent maintenance operations must be carried out solely and exclusively by authorized personnel. Inside the
system high electric voltages are generated which may endanger maintenance personnel who are not sufficiently
prepared and trained for such tasks.
•
If at any time during use a hazard condition is created, remove the mains power supply (if possible through the
distribution panel upstream of the unit) and switch the UPS off completely following the appropriate procedure.
•
When assembling and replacing the battery, the UPS should always be switched off and disconnected from the mains
power supply.
•
The UPS contains an internal power source which is the batteries. The UPS output may be powered even when the
UPS is not connected to the mains power supply.
•
Do not force, break or try to open the batteries. They are sealed and do not require any maintenance. Inside they
contain substances that are toxic to health and that pollute the atmosphere. Do not switch the UPS on if there is any
leak of liquid, or if a residual white powder is noted.
•
Replace the fuses ONLY with other fuses of the same type.
•
The sockets can be used as output isolating devices (EPO Emergency Power Off). When installing, leave a suitable
space at the back of the UPS near the fuse holder unit for easy access to the fuse holders.
•
Avoid contact of the UPS unit with water or liquids in general. Do not introduce foreign bodies.
•
If the unit needs to be scrapped, it is essential to entrust the equipment solely and exclusively to specialist disposal
companies. These are obliged to break up and dispose of the various components in accordance with the legal
provisions in force nationally.
•
The UPS generates a leakage current of about 1.5mA. To guarantee the maximum limit leakage current of 3.5mA,
make sure that the maximum leakage current of the load is 2 mA. If the load leakage current exceeds this limit value,
have qualified personnel connect the UPS to an industrial type, IEC 309 compliant power supply mains, with a current
of correct dimensions for the UPS power rating.
•
UPS-ENTERPRISE is intended for commercial and industrial use; it is not recommended for use in medical
applications which are “essential” to the survival of the patient.
•
Use the UPS in accordance with specifications shown in the technical data (paragraph 6).
