3.1Receiving inspection

Once your PowerCell 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.

3.2 Placement

Your PowerCell may be installed in any protected environment. The location should provide adequate air flow around the unit, in an atmosphere free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes and conductive contaminants. Do not operate your PowerCell in an environment where the ambient temperature or humidity is outside the limits given in the Specifications section of this manual.

3.3 Load types

The PowerCell is designed to power all modern computer loads and associated peripheral devices such as monitors, modems, cartridge tape drives, external floppy drives, etc. The PowerCell is not rated to power life support equipment (as described on the rear cover of this manual).

Caution: The output waveform of this UPS is a sine wave approximation suitable for use with modern computer power supplies. Other loads may malfunction or the UPS could be damaged. In particular, ferroresonant type regulating transformers are not recommended. Use of a surge suppressor connected to the output of this UPS may unnecessarily load the UPS when on-battery. This UPS contains high performance surge suppression - additional suppression components are not required and are not recom- mended. If in doubt, please consult the equipment manufacturer or the factory.
