4. Battery Pack panel coupler

Additional Battery Packs are connected to this panel coupler. A coupler clamp is installed over the coupler opening as furnished from the factory. See the Installation section of this manual for instructions on how to lock mated couplers.

5. Battery Pack cables

Each Battery Pack cable is made from "welding grade" wire to withstand abrasion or crimping in rough duty applications.

6. Replace Battery indicator

The Replace Battery indicator is illuminated when the Battery Pack can no longer sustain a charge due to wear. See the Difficulty section of this manual if the indicator is lit.

7. In-line Battery Pack coupler

The in-line Battery Pack coupler connects to the UPS or to a panel coupler on another Battery Pack.

8. Battery communications cable

Each Battery Pack is supplied with a battery communications cable.

4.1Receiving Inspection

Once the UPS has been removed from its shipping container, it should be inspected for damage that may have occurred while in transit. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. The packing materials are made from recyclable materials and should be saved for reuse or disposed of properly.

4.2 Protection Strategies

This UPS provides high performance power line protection to the loads. There are, however, other potential entry points for damaging surges in information systems. These include serial ports (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, etc.), parallel ports, telephone lines, and network connections. These other entry points must be considered in developing a comprehensive system protection strategy. Contact your dealer or call the number on the back cover of this manual for information on a complete set of related products designed to accomplish total system protection.

Sensitive information systems can be further safeguarded by following these guidelines:

νVerify that all electrical outlets are properly grounded.

νConnect information systems to a different electrical service branch than heavy motor loads like air conditioners, copiers, refrigerators, and heavy industrial machinery.

νPlug all power protection and information system equipment into the same branch where possible.
