The output may be live, even if the UPS is not connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has its own internal power supply (battery)!

For health and safety reasons, the unit must be earthed correctly!

PROTECT A. may only be operated with or connected to a 230 VAC mains with protective grounding using a mains connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery) that has been tested in accordance with German standards (VDE).

Danger! Risk of burning!

The battery has powerful short-circuit currents. Incorrect connection or isolation faults can lead to melting of the plug connections, sparking potential and severe burns!

The unit has a warning signal that sounds when the battery voltage of PROTECT A. is exhausted or when the UPS is not working in its normal mode.

Observe the following safety instructions to ensure permanent operational safety of and safe work with the UPS:

Do not dismantle the UPS!

(The UPS does not contain any parts which require regular maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty will be invalidated if the unit is opened!)

Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close proximity of heaters!

The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated rooms. Never install the UPS in the vicinity of water or in an excessively damp environment!

Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a cold environment into the room where it is to be installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start- up. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two hours.
