IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of the
unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate the UPS.
CAUTION!
The UPS must be connected to a grounded AC
power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. DO NOT
plug the UPS into an outlet that is not grounded. If you need to
power-drain this equipment, turn off and unplug the unit.
CAUTION!
The battery can power hazardous components
inside the unit, even when the AC input power is disconnected.
CAUTION!
The UPS should be placed near the connected
equipment and easily accessible.
CAUTION!
To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in
a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of
conductive contaminants. (Please see “Technical
Specifications” on page 22 for acceptable temperature and
humidity ranges).
CAUTION! (No User Serviceable Parts):
Risk of electric
shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
CAUTION! (Non-Isolated Battery Supply):
Risk of electric
shock, battery circuit is not isolated from AC power source;
hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals and
ground. Test before touching.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of fire, connect the UPS to a
branch circuit with 15 amperes (UPS-OL1500R) / 20 amperes
(UPS-OL2200R) / 30 amperes (UPS-OL3000R) maximum
over-current protection in accordance with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
CAUTION!
The AC outlet where the UPS is connected should
be close to the unit and easily accessible.
CAUTION!
Please use only UL-marked mains cable, (e.g. the
mains cable of your equipment), to connect the UPS to the AC
outlet.
CAUTION!
Please use only UL-marked power cables to
connect any equipment to the UPS.
CAUTION!
When installing the equipment, ensure that the sum
of the leakage current of the UPS and the connected
equipment does not exceed 3.5mA.
CAUTION!
The UPS-OL1500R / UPS-OL2200R /
UPS-OL3000R models may only be installed by qualified
maintenance personnel.
CAUTION!
Do not unplug the unit from AC Power during
operation, as this will invalidate the protective ground
insulation.
CAUTION!
To avoid electric shock, turn off and unplug the unit
before installing the input/output power cord with a ground wire.
Connect the ground wire prior to connecting the line wires!
CAUTION!
Do not use an improper size power cord as it may
cause damage to your equipment and cause fire hazards.
CAUTION!
Wiring must be done by qualified personnel.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT
EQUIPMENT!
Under no circumstances this unit should be
used for medical applications involving life support equipment
and/or patient care.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS!
To
reduce the risk of fire, do not use with or near aquariums.
Condensation from the aquarium can come in contact with
metal electrical contacts and cause the machine to short out.
CAUTION!
Do not dispose of batteries in fire as the battery
may explode.
CAUTION!
Do not open or mutilate the battery, released
electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes.
CAUTION!
A battery can present a risk of electric shock and
high short circuit current. The following precautions should be
observed when working on batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with
insulated
handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or
disconnecting battery terminals.
6. Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If
inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground.
Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in
electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be
reduced if such grounds are removed during installation
and maintenance.
CAUTION!
The unit has a dangerous amount of voltage. When
the UPS indicators is on, the units may continue to supply
power thus the unit’s outlets may have a dangerous amount of
voltage even when it’s not plugged in to the wall outlet.
CAUTION!
Make sure everything is turned off and AC power is
disconnected completely before conducting any maintenance,
battery replacement, repairs or shipment.
CAUTION!
Connect the Protection Earth (PE) safety conductor
before any other cables are connected.
WARNING! (Fuses):
To reduce the risk of fire, replace only
with the same type and rating of fuse.
DO NOT INSTALL THE UPS WHERE IT WOULD BE
EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR NEAR A STRONG
HEAT SOURCE!
DO NOT BLOCK OFF VENTILATION OPENINGS AROUND
THE HOUSING!
DO NOT CONNECT DOMESTIC APPLIANCES SUCH AS
HAIR DRYERS TO UPS OUTPUT SOCKETS!
SERVICING OF BATTERIES SHOULD BE PERFORMED OR
SUPERVISED BY PERSONNEL WITH KNOWLEDGE OF
BATTERIES AND THEIR REQUIRED PRECAUTIONS. KEEP
UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM BATTERIES!
THE SOCKET-OUTLET SHALL BE INSTALLED NEAR THE
EQUIPMENT AND SHALL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
