IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Symbols used in this manual

WARNING! Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in injury or death.

CAUTION! Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the product or other property.

NOTICE! Read and pay attention to this important information.

WARNING!

This UPS unit contains hazardous AC and DC voltages. Only qualified electricians should connect the UPS, AC line and external batteries, and must be familiar with batteries and battery installation.

Before installing, maintaining or servicing the UPS, shut off the UPS and disconnect all sources of AC and DC power.

As the UPS has no built-in disconnection devices to switch off external AC and DC input power, ensure that disconnection devices are available as separate parts in connection with the installation.

The installer must provide each external disconnecting device for this UPS system with labels with the following text:

“Isolate the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) as instructed in this guide before working on circuit”

AC and/or DC voltage will always involve a potential risk of AC voltage at UPS output generated from either batteries or utility. To avoid equipment damage or personal injury, always assume that there may be voltage at UPS output.

This system is equipped with an auto-start function. If activated, the system may start without warning. Refer to the “Programming” section for information on de-activation.

TEST BEFORE YOU TOUCH!

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shocks, install the UPS and external batteries in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants.

UPS batteries are high-current sources. Shorting battery terminals, DC terminals or DC busbars can cause severe arcing, equipment damage and injury. A short circuit can cause a battery to explode. Always wear protective clothing and eye protection and use insulated tools when working on batteries.

 

CAUTION!

 

This unit contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). If you do not follow the

 

ESD procedures, you may cause severe damage to electronic components.

 

PLEASE RECYCLE

 

The shipping materials are recyclable. Please save for later use or dispose of them appropriately.
