5 - Maintenance

5.1General

The UPS is virtually maintenance free: take care of proper environmental conditions and keep air inlets- outlets free of dust. Please read 2.1.

5.2Fuses

If the AC input fuse (1) is defective, be sure it is replaced by a compatible fuse from the same make and type. Fuse ratings: see chapter 7.

5.3Batteries

5.3.1General

The service life of the battery is up to 6 years.

As a healthy battery is critical to the UPS, keypad 'ON' allows a battery test (3.2.2). When the condition of the battery is critical, a 'replace battery' alarm will be given (see 3.3). Charge the batteries for at least 10 hours, switch the UPS off and back on, and perform a self test. If the alarm persists replace the batteries as soon as possible.

5.3.2Battery replacement

•Warning: first read the safety rules in section 1.2.

•When replacing the batteries, use the same number and voltage(V)/capacity(Ah).

•Proper disposal or recycling of the batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.

•Never dispose of batteries in a fire: they may explode.

•Do not open or mutilate batteries: their contents (electrolyte) may be extremely toxic. If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately with plenty of water.

•Avoid charging in a sealed container.

•Never short circuit batteries. When working with batteries, remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use insulated tools.
