IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future reference.

D A N G E R

This UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service should be performed by

AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER SERVICEABLE

PARTS inside the UPS.

W A R N I N G

SThis UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

SFor 220–240V models, the output receptacles may remain electrically live. If the input power source in your application is wired line-to-neutral (as in most European applications), the voltage to the output receptacles is 0V. With line-to-line input wiring, the voltage to the output receptacles is 100–120V (measured from line-to-ground or line-to-neutral, depending on the UPS wiring).

SDo not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.

STo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity

controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% maximum).

STo comply with international standards and wiring regulations, the total equipment connected to the output of this UPS must not have an earth leakage current greater than 1.5 milliamperes.

C A U T I O N

SThe wall outlet must be within 2 meters of the equipment and accessible to the operator.

SBatteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current. The following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries; 4) Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

SProper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.

SNever dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.

SDo not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be extremely toxic.

SReplace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the UPS.

SIf the UPS requires any type of transportation, disconnect the internal UPS batteries before transporting (see page 17).
