Size of Branch Circuit Overcurrent Protection

! CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, connect PS3000RT3-120XR models only to a circuit provided with 30 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Other Liebert PSI models must be connected to a circuit with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection.

! WARNING

Operate the UPS only from a properly grounded (earthed) 110-127VAC, 50Hz or 60Hz AC supply.

Some components are live, even when AC power is disconnected. For service, contact a properly trained and qualified technician. Do not remove the cover; the UPS has no user-serviceable parts inside except the internal battery pack.

! WARNING

Although the UPS has been designed and manufactured to ensure personal safety, improper use can result in electrical shock or fire. To ensure safety, observe the following rules:

•Turn Off and unplug the UPS before cleaning it. Clean the UPS with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

•Do not install or operate the UPS in or near water.

•Never block or insert any objects into the ventilation holes or other openings of the UPS. Keep all vents free of dust accumulation that could restrict air flow.

•Do not place UPS power cord anywhere it might be damaged.

Battery Handling Precautions

! WARNING

Batteries should be replaced only by properly trained and qualified personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required precautions.

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions must be observed when working on batteries:

•Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.

•Use tools with insulated handles.

•Do not dispose of the battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.

•Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is toxic. It may cause injury to the skin and eyes.
