3 Safety
3.1 General safety instructions
Read and observe the user manual and safety instructions in this chapter before
taking any further action (transportation, storage, connection, startup etc.).
Since the UPS equipment uses mains voltage and has a suitable energy
accumulator (high-capacity batteries) installed either inside or outside the
device, the instructions in this chapter are very important for all users and
personnel. For this reason, appropriate safety instructions on the topic of
batteries and battery packs are also dealt with here.
Work on the UPS equipment may only be performed by authorised technical
personnel.
3.2 Transportation and storage
The UPS may only be transported to its place of intended use in the original
packaging. The same applies for removals or returns.
The equipment must not be transported or stored upside down.
Position the equipment securely during transportation, taking its centre of
gravity into account. Due to its weight, UPS equipment with integrated batteries
may drop suddenly if its position shifts slightly.
When storing equipment, make sure that it is also securely positioned.
3.3 Setup
The UPS is intended for use in ventilated rooms.
During setup or installation, the installation location prescribed by the
manufacturer must be observed.
There is a risk of condensation where the UPS is exposed to extreme and
rapid temperature changes. Before taking any further steps, the equipment
should be allowed to acclimatise for at least 2 hours.
Never set up or operate the equipment in a damp environment.
Keep fluids away from the equipment.
The UPS must not be set up near heat sources.
