• In case the automatic software to shutdown the devices due to end
of back up time is not installed, it is recommended to shutdown the
loads and the UPS before depleting the autonomy of the batteries, as
a preventive safety measure for the own loads.

holidays periods, it is recommended to shutdown the equipment
completely. In particular during this last period and due to safety rea-

needed to recharge the batteries for 12 hours as min-
imum every 6 months, in order to avoid the irreversible degrada-
tion of them.
