Periodic Preventative Maintenance
The UPS should be inspected on a regular basis by a trained and qualified technician to verify that
the UPS and batteries are in proper electrical and physical condition.
A procedure for periodic preventive maintenance can be found in the UPS Installation Guide. It is
recommended that this inspection procedure be performed every three to six months or in any
case at least once annually.
Technologically advanced electronic systems are the heart of every Gamatronic UPS. These
electronic systems are sensitive to environmental conditions. Regular maintenance of the UPS can
ensure proper functionality and significantly prolong the life the UPS. For this reason, it is
important that the operating and storage environments of the UPS be clean and dry in
accordance with the site and storage requirements.
The system's batteries provide back-up power to the UPS when needed. A room temperature of
20 °C (68 °F) is ideal for the batteries, significantly higher temperatures shorten the batteries'
lifespan.
The UPS and its batteries both require periodic preventive maintenance inspections. At the least,
these inspections should include a visual inspection of the UPS and its batteries, and the
tightening of any screws and bolts that have over time become loosened. The owner of the UPS is
responsible for ensuring that the preventive maintenance inspections take place. This is done by
contacting the service department and arranging a mutually convenient time for a technician to
perform the inspection.
It is important that the UPS owner continue to arrange regular preventive maintenance
inspections even after the expiration of the initial warranty period.
Gamatronic bears no liability for damage caused to the UPS due to improper maintenance by
third parties, in particular after the expiration of the warranty or service agreement.
In order to obtain long and reliable service from the UPS, it is important that the UPS owner
uphold his responsibilities according to the warranty or service agreement. This includes ensuring
that the UPS's environment meets requirements.
