8. Maintenance

All operations inside the unit must be performed only by a service engineer from the manufacturer or from an agent, authorised by the manufacturer.

The troubleshooting procedure gives simple remedial if a malfunction occurs in the UPS. The operator should start the trouble shooting if there is an active alarm indicated on the LCD screen. Service should be contacted if the active alarm is abnormal and displayed as a service code.

Call service if you are not able to solve the problem.

Scrapping

Before scrapping UPS or its battery cabinet, the battery bank must be removed. Local requirements must be followed in battery recycling or discard. The removal of batteries is allowed only by authorised service personnel due to high energy and voltage.

Regular service/intervals

The UPS requires very little maintenance if installed in an appropriate environment.
