• The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials.
To avoid accidents, the directives listed below must be observed:
- Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions.
- When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of
batteries or battery packs. Instructions shall carry sufficient information to
enable the replacement of the battery with a suitable recommended type.
-
CAUTION!
– Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
- Never force, break or attempt to open the batteries. These batteries are
sealed, maintenance-free components containing substances that are
harmful to health and a source of environmental pollution. If liquid can be
seen leaking from the battery, or a white powdery residue is noticeable, do
not switch the UPS on.
- Replaced batteries must be disposed of at authorised waste disposal
centres. It is very dangerous to touch any part of the batteries as there is no
insulation between the batteries and the mains power source.
CAUTION!
• A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
- Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
- Use tools with insulated handles.
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
- Disconnect any charging sources prior to connecting or disconnecting
battery terminals.
- Check if the battery has been inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently
grounded, remove the source from the ground. Contact with any part of
a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such
shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
- Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin
and eyes. It may be toxic.
- Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for
touchable.
