SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings
may affect the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants,
dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and
40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
• Only set the UPS upright on a sturdy flat surface. Do not block fans or ventilation holes, as
this will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling and cause product damage not covered
under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into
itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
• The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be easily accessible and located near
the UPS.
Equipment Connection Warnings
Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards ANSI/NFPA
70 and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
Short-circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection is provided by
the building installation.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit
overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. The plug on
the power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Be
sure that the socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is made
easily accessible.
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can
reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly
affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
• Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might
damage the UPS and may affect the surge protector and UPS warranties.
