IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
POWER SUPPLIES SHOULD BE SERVICED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
POWER SUPPLIES CONTAIN MORE THAN ONE LIVE CIRCUIT. EVEN THOUGH AC IS
NOT PRESENT AT THE INPUT, IT MAY BE PRESENT AT THE OUTPUT.
WHEN USING AN EXTERNAL SERVICE DISCONNECT, VERIFY THAT IT IS EQUIPPED
WITH A HIGH MAGNETIC CIRCUIT BREAKER PROPERLY RATED (AMPERAGE) FOR
USE WITH THE POWER SUPPLY.
WHEN IN STORAGE, BATTERIES SHOULD BE CHARGED AT LEAST ONCE EVERY
THREE MONTHS TO ENSURE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION, SUCH AS SAFETY GLASSES OR A FACE SHIELD, WHEN-
EVER WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS ACIDIC
AND MAY CAUSE BURNS.
NEVER SMOKE NEAR BATTERIES. SPARKS, FLAMES OR OTHER SOURCES OF
IGNITION MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
ALWAYS CARRY A SUPPLY OF WATER, SUCH AS A WATER JUG, TO WASH THE
EYES OR SKIN IN THE EVENT OF EXPOSURE TO BATTERY ELECTROLYTE.
USE PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES WHENEVER HANDLING THE ENCLOSURE,
POWER MODULE OR BATTERIES. GROUP 31 SIZE BATTERIES, USED IN THE
MAJORITY OF CABLE TELEVISION APPLICATIONS, CAN WEIGH AS MUCH AS 70 LBS.
USE A BUCKET TRUCK, OR SUITABLE SAFETY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A SAFETY
HARNESS AND CLIMBING SPIKES, WHEN SERVICING POLE INSTALLATIONS.
ALWAYS SWITCH THE POWER SUPPLY’S BATTERY CIRCUIT BREAKER TO OFF
BEFORE DISCONNECTING BATTERY CABLES. THIS GREATLY REDUCES THE
CHANCE OF SPARK AND POSSIBLE BATTERY EXPLOSION.
DO NOT ALLOW LIVE BATTERY WIRES TO CONTACT THE ENCLOSURE OR POWER
SUPPLY CHASSIS. POSSIBLE EXPLOSION OR FIRE CAN OCCUR.
BEFORE PLACING A CURRENT LOAD ON THE BATTERIES, (SUCH AS WHEN
SWITCHING THE POWER SUPPLY TO STANDBY), USE THE ENCLOSURE DOOR AS
A SHIELD IN THE EVENT OF A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
INSPECT BATTERIES FOR SIGNS OF CRACKS, LEAKING OR SWELLING.
WHEN REPLACING BATTERIES, ALWAYS USE THOSE OF AN IDENTICAL TYPE.
NEVER INSTALL OLD OR UNTESTED BATTERIES.
CHECK THE BATTERY’S DATE CODE. BATTERIES OLDER THAN SEVERAL YEARS
SHOULD NOT BE USED.
AVOID THE USE OF UNINSULATED TOOLS OR OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS
WHEN HANDLING BATTERIES OR WORKING INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE.
SPENT OR DAMAGED BATTERIES ARE CONSIDERED ENVIRONMENTALLY UNSAFE.
ALWAYS RECYCLE USED BATTERIES.
