Deenergizing Safety

This UPS has an internal energy source (the battery), the output may be energized when the unit is not connected to an AC power outlet.

To deenergize the UPS: first press the Off button to switch the outputs off. Next disconnect the UPS from the AC power outlet, then, disconnect the battery and finally, press the ON button to ensure that the internal capacitors are discharged.

The UPS includes a protective earth conductor which carries the leakage current from the load devices (computer equipment). Total leakage current must not exceed 3.5 mA.

Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly effect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.

Battery Safety

This equipment contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The only exception is for battery replacement using the procedures below. Except for the battery, the unit contains no user serviceable parts. Repairs are performed only by factory trained service personnel.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte which is toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.

To avoid personal injury due to energy hazard, remove wrist watches and jewelry such as rings when replacing the batteries. Use tools with insulated handles.

Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.

Recycling of Batteries
