SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
This manual contains important
instructions that should be followed during installation and
maintenance of the EBM.
• WARNING!
The mounting shelves are not intended to support
more than one EBM. Do not stack multiple battery packs on a
single set of mounting shelves. Failure to follow this warning may
lead to product damage and the risk of physical injury.
• This unit is intended for installation in a controlled environment
(a temperature-controlled and indoor area free of conductive
contaminants). Please avoid installing the UPS and EBM in
locations where there is standing or running water, dust, direct
sunlight or excessive humidity.
• Use caution when lifting battery packs. Because of the
considerable weight of all battery packs, at least two people
should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Be sure that the battery packs and UPS system use the same DC
voltage before connecting them.
• Use of this EBM in life-support equipment or situations is not
recommended. bXterra does not sell equipment meant for life-
support or medical applications.
• When connecting multiple EBMs to a single bXterra UPS, the
battery packs should be approximately the same age.
• The suggested mounting procedures in this manual are for
common rack types and may not be appropriate for all rack
configurations. The user must determine the appropriate
mounting hardware and procedures before mounting the EBM.
• Do not unplug EBMs from the UPS while the UPS is on battery
power, due to the possibility of dangerous arcing and shock.
• It is not unusual for sparks to occur when connecting external
batteries.
