In order to maintain compliance with the EMC directive, output cords attached to the UPS should not exceed 10 meters in length.

DEENERGIZING SAFETY

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

To deenergize pluggable equipment: first press the OFF button for more than one second to switch the equipment off. Disconnect the equipment from the AC power outlet. Unplug the bat- tery connector. Push the ON button to deenergize the capacitors.

Pluggable equipment includes a protective earth conductor that 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 affect 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 equipment containing batteries. Battery replacement using the proce- dures below is permissible. Except for the battery, the unit contains no user serviceable parts.
