warnings may affect your warranty.
2.1 UPS Location Warnings

• Install the UPS in a structurally sound area. The UPS is extremely heavy; take care when moving and lifting the unit.
• Only operate the UPS at indoor temperatures between 0° C and 40° C.
• Optimum UPS performance and maximum battery life is met when the operating temperature is maintained between 17° C and 25° C.
• Ensure the installation area has sufficient space for maintenance and ventilation of the UPS system. Maintain a minimum clearance of
50 cm from the rear, front and both sides of the UPS for maintenance and ventilation.
• Do not install the UPS near magnetic storage media, as this may result in data corruption.
2.2 Equipment Connection Warnings

the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the
presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• The UPS system contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an
AC supply.
2.3 Battery Warnings
