ERIODIC PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Technologically advanced electronic systems are the heart of every Gamatronic UPS. These electronic
systems are sensitive to environmental conditions. It is important that the operating and storage
environments of the UPS be clean and dust-free, free of dampness and excess humidity.
The system's batteries provide back-up power to the UPS when needed. An environmental temperature of
25 °C (77 °F) is ideal for the batteries. Significantly higher temperatures shorten the batteries' lifespan.
The UPS and its batteries both require periodic preventive maintenance inspections. At the least, these
inspections should include a visual inspection of the UPS and its batteries, and the tightening of any screws
and bolts that have over time become loosened. The owner of the UPS is responsible for ensuring that the
preventive maintenance inspections take place. This is done by contacting Gamatronic's service
department and arranging a mutually convenient time for a technician to perform the inspection.
It is important that the UPS owner continue to arrange regular preventive maintenance inspections even
after the expiration of the initial warranty period.
Gamatronic bears no liability for damage caused to the UPS due to improper maintenance by third parties,
in particular after the expiration of the warranty or service agreement.
It is the responsibility of the UPS owner to uphold his responsibilities according to the warranty or service
agreement. This includes ensuring that the UPS's environment meets requirements.
These preventive maintenance procedures shall be performed only by a
trained and qualified technician!
