NETYS PL
- Ref.: IOMNETPLXX01-GB 02
1.1. IMPORTANT
This manual should be kept carefully in a safe place near the UPS, so that it can be consulted by the operator at any time for any
information that may be needed regarding correct use of the unit. Read the manual carefully before connecting the unit to the a.c.
mains supply and to the downstream appliances. Before the UPS NETYS PL is put into commission, the user must be perfectly
familiar with its operation, with the position of all the controls and with the technical and functional characteristics of the unit, so as
to ensure there will be no risk to any persons or to the appliance itself.
•
Before being started up, the unit must be equipotentially bonded, in accordance with current safety regulations.
The earth
wire of the UPS must then be connected to an efficient earth system.
•
If the earth connection is not made, the appliances connected to the UPS will not be equipotentially bonded.
In this situation,
the manufacturer declines all liability for any damage or accidents that could derive from failure to observe the requirements.
•
Should a power outage occur (UPS in stand-alone mode), do not disconnect the power cord from the mains, as this will
break the earth connection to bonded appliances.
•
All subsequent maintenance operations must be entrusted only to authorized service engineers.
The UPS generates high internal
voltages that could be hazardous for a maintenance operative not in possession of the appropriate skills and training for this type of work.
•
If a hazard situation should arise at any moment when the UPS is in use,
isolate the unit from the power supply (by operating
a switch at the upstream PDU if possible) and switch the appliance off completely by running the shutdown procedure.
•
The UPS houses a source of electrical energy, namely its batteries. The output of the UPS may be under power even
when the appliance is not connected to the a.c. mains supply.
•
Never force, break or attempt to open the batteries. These batteries are sealed, maintenance-free components contai-
ning substances that are harmful to health and a source of environmental pollution. If liquid can be seen leaking from the
battery, or a white powdery residue is noticeable, do not switch the UPS on.
•
Avoid exposing the UPS to contact with water or any liquids generally. Do not insert foreign objects into the cabinet.
• Danger of explosion if the batteries are replaced with others of the wrong type.
• Replaced batteries must be disposed of at authorised waste disposal centres.
It is very dangerous to touch any part of the batteries as there is no isolation between the batteries and the mains
power source.
CAUTION!
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
•
If the appliance is to be scrapped,
it must be entrusted exclusively to a specialist waste disposal company. These companies
will split up and dispose of the various components in accordance with statutory regulations in the country of purchase.
• Since the power cord of the UPS functions as an isolating device, ensure ready access to the mains power socket where the UPS
is connected, and/or to the rear panel of the UPS, so the unit can be easily unplugged.
• The UPS generates a
leakage current
of approximately 3 mA. To guarantee the maximum leakage current of 3.5 mA, make certain
that the leakage current generated by the load is no greater than 0.5 mA. Should the leakage current from the load exceed this
limit, instruct a skilled engineer to install an industrial type connection (to IEC 309 standard) between the UPS and the a.c. mains
supply, sized to handle a current compatible with the rating of the appliance.
• Use the UPS in accordance with the technical specifications indicated in this manual (chapter 11).
• In the event that the equipment has no automatic backfeed protection contactor device, make certain that:
- the user/installer attaches warning labels to all mains isolating switches located remotely from the area where the UPS is sited, in
order to inform service personnel that the circuit is connected to a UPS.
- an external isolating device is installed, as indicated in figure 1-1.
• The product you have chosen is designed for commercial and industrial use only.
•
The product you have selected, given the specified conditions of use, capacity and performance limits, is designed exclusively for
commercial and industrial service. The use of the product in “critical applications” could require compliance with statutory regula-
tions and standards, or with specific local bylaws, or adaptation to SOCOMEC UPS recommendations. For this type of use, in any
event, it is advisable to contact SOCOMEC UPS beforehand for confirmation regarding the capacity of products to meet required
levels of safety, performance and reliability. The expression “critical applications” covers, in particular, life support systems, medical
applications, commercial transport, nuclear facilities or any other systems where failure of the product might on occasion cause
serious damage to persons or property.
